The current state of the chase:

Round 17:

Sharvon, almost losing his pursuers around the corner, takes some time to help the pedestrian he collided with.

Tug comes chugging up behind the two thugs who have just rounded the corner.

Thug 1 has some difficulty navigating stacks of crates.

Thug 2 plows into a burly delivery woman who punches him in the back of the head for 5 damage. Both thugs only advance 20 feet.

Between Wilfer and Sharvon, two City Watch officers enter the small square, looking north and south for the trouble. One is only 57 feet north of Sharvon (313 feet south of Wilfer). The other is 71 feet north of Sharvon (299 feet south of Wilfer.)

Sharvon's distance to the statue: 1160 feet

Distance to Sharvon:

Thug 1: 135 feet south (3 levels of exhaustion)
Thug 2: 45 feet south (2 levels of exhaustion)
City Watch 1: 57 feet north
City Watch 2: 71 feet north

Tug (on the route): 310 feet south
Wilfer (on the route): 340 feet north

Rixton (near the route): 765 feet
Savra and Vansic (in the square, near the end of the route): 1265 ft
David (in the square, near the end of the route): 1065 ft
Aravor (at the bridge beyond the statue, at the end of the route): 1515 ft

Pausing here due to the new developments...

Once they are close enough, Wilfer, from the shadows of the alley he's been lurking in in disguise, will attempt to cast enemies abound on a random pedestrian just ahead of the chase group. the intent being to cause a disturbance right as Sharvon passes by to help delay those chasing.

DC 16 int save.

Sharvon is looking for a booth, or merchant stall he can duck under and for a second shadow area past the guards. The attempt will be to lure the guards near him, pretend to hide behind a stall, then shadow step past them to a stall farther north. At which point he will of course wave at the guards and preceded to continue his shacainery.

They are still quite a ways away, but depending on how things go, may close the distance quickly.

A merchant stall is easy to find here in the little square. It is roughly midday, though, so shadows are harder to find. (Let's roll to determine your luck. Perception (14) check: 19)

Round 18:

Sharvon locates a market stall and hides, but not too well. The two thugs come puffing around the corner, heading north in Sharvon's direction. Thug 1 is thoroughly winded and moving at a shuffling jog. Thug 2 points at Sharvon, yelling to the Watch for help. His momentary distraction causes him to slam into a wall as he tries to correct his course, for 4 damage.

The closer city watchperson makes it to Sharvon, grabbing at his arm. Grab Attack: 14 Damage: 0

The further of the two runs to close the distance.

Then (grappled or not), Sharvon teleports to a shady alley 45 feet away.

Tug also sprints another 60 feet but gains a level of exhaustion.

Sharvon's distance to the statue: 1115 feet

Distance to Sharvon:

Thug 1: 165 feet south (3 levels of exhaustion)
Thug 2: 60 feet south (2 levels of exhaustion)
City Watch 1: 45 feet south
City Watch 2: 34 feet south

Tug (on the route): 85 feet south
Wilfer (on the route): 295 feet north

Rixton (near the route): 720 feet
Savra and Vansic (in the square, near the end of the route): 1220 ft
David (in the square, near the end of the route): 1020 ft
Aravor (at the bridge beyond the statue, at the end of the route): 1470 ft

Tug did not mean to dash himself to exhaustion, particularly it makes so little difference as he'll never catch up to the speedy Sharvon. So he will grab the cache on cask street (I think he should be near that now, and Sharvon has blown past without needing it) and move at normal pace, leaving the route to go the shortest path to that easternmost corner of the square. Hoping to meet the excitement in a bit, but S is too far to tell him that.

"Ouch, stupid wall." Sharvon mutters. Being so close to the guards, he will attempt to blend in to the crowd, and sneak farther north. He is looking to gain some distance before he will resume the chase.

Stealth check: 13

DM shield:

Sharvon parts the crowd as he sneaks north, which gives him away to the watch. Watch 1 sprints to close the distance. Watch 2 does the same, coming closer than 20 feet to the thief.

Sharvon's distance to the statue: 1070 feet

Distance to Sharvon:

Thug 1: 195 feet south (3 levels of exhaustion)
Thug 2: 45 feet south (2 levels of exhaustion)
City Watch 1: 30 feet south
City Watch 2: 19 feet south

Wilfer (on the route): 250 feet north

Tug (near the route): 130 feet
Rixton (near the route): 675 feet
Savra and Vansic (in the square, near the end of the route): 1175 ft
David (in the square, near the end of the route): 975 ft
Aravor (at the bridge beyond the statue, at the end of the route): 1425 ft

"Haha no rest for my magnificent self!" Sharvon takes off north, needing to get some distance, he moves 45, then dashes 45 more. 

DM shield:

Round 20:

Sharvon begins to feel exhaustion set in after running for 2 minutes straight. (Sharvon gets 1 level of exhaustion)

Watchman 1 pushes past a burgeoning brawl, already looking winded. (1 level of exhaustion)

Watchman 2 steps over a beggar and equally looks tired. (1 level of exhaustion)

Thug 1 seems to give up the chase as Sharvon outpaces the winded man.

Thug 2 keeps sprinting after the thief, though.

Round 21:

Sharvon slows down for a beat as he gains a lot of ground over the remaining thug and the watch.

The thug stumbles over a beggar, slowing his progress.

Watchman 1 gets tangled in a crowd, slowing him down. Watchman 2, the portlier of the two, begins to look exceedingly winded. (a second level of exhaustion). He blows on his whistle hoping that will slow down the speedy thief.

Round 22:

Sharvon continues a light jog, keeping just out of sprinting distance of the watchmen and the thug.

The thug snarls at an arguing couple, who back away. Both watchmen begin to visibly flag. (Watchman 1 gets a second level of exhaustion. Watchman 2 gets a third level of exhaustion.)

Round 23:

As tired as his pursuers look, Sharvon risks letting them get as close as 30' from him and opts to keep to a light jog.

The thug stumbles over an urchin and has clearly reached his limit (third level of exhaustion)

Watchman 1 reaches his limit as well, blowing on his whistle with what little breath he has left.

Watchman 2 is still following but at little more than a walk.

Pausing here for player feedback!

Sharvon's distance to the statue: 745 feet

Distance to Sharvon:

Thug 1: out of sight (3 levels of exhaustion)
Thug 2: 90 feet south (3 levels of exhaustion)
City Watch 1: 45 feet (3 levels of exhaustion)
City Watch 2: 64 feet (3 levels of exhaustion)

Wilfer (on the route): 25 feet north of Sharvon, 70 feet to the nearest (exhausted) pursuer

Tug (off the route): 355 feet
Rixton (near the route): 400 feet
Savra and Vansic (in the square, near the end of the route): 950 ft
David (in the square, near the end of the route): 750 ft
Aravor (at the bridge beyond the statue, at the end of the route): 1300 ft

Wilfer will continue to wait for the pursuit, changing his previous plan of starting a brawl.

Once they catch up, Wilfer will move out, as himself, to catch the two watchmen, if they're still pursuing, casting enhance ability, Bear's Endurance, on the more tired looking one, "You keep after him, I'll try to cut him off and get reinforcements." He then runs off north to the designated meeting place by the river, but as he goes, he'll send any watchmen he comes across to join the pursuit, and incidentally take them away from the rendezvous.

Off the route, Tug moves at normal speed by the quickest path to the square. He is watching for watchmen who might join the chase, though for a while (until he nears that last leg where Rixton is waiting, maybe) he'll be pretty far from the action and unlikely to affect events. Still, any watchmen he sees Tug will shout perfectly true but incomplete information Dron's girl was robbed down by the Treasure Room! Something fishy by the river! I ain't goin' anywhere near there!

And as he goes Tug seeds some rumors and theories by telepathy to random citizens, so as they don't know where they heard it from Dron can't protect his girl, they stole her necklace or Dron musta changed girls, you know the thieves all work for him so different theory proponents might argue with each other

Round 24-26:

Sharvon keeps his pace to a light jog, little more than a brisk stroll.

 None of his pursuers deign to try and match his pace, little more than walking at this point. They stumble and push their way through the crowd, losing ground. one of them is bitten by a dog for 3 damage.

Suddenly, an off-duty watchwoman is at Sharvon's side with a spear. She must have grabbed it from a display outside one of the shops. She jabs it at Sharvon. Spear Attack: 6 Damage: 4

The city watchwoman drops the spear in the street, she misses so badly.

Sharvon's distance to the statue: 745 feet

Distance to Sharvon:

Thug 2: 133 feet south (3 levels of exhaustion)
City Watch 1: 90 feet (3 levels of exhaustion)
City Watch 2: 109 feet (3 levels of exhaustion)
City Watch 3: 0 feet

Wilfer (on the route): 40 feet south of Sharvon, 50 feet to the nearest (exhausted) pursuer, 40 feet to the spear-wielding pursuer

Tug (off the route): 420 feet
Rixton (near the route): 315 feet
Savra and Vansic (in the square, near the end of the route): 885 ft
David (in the square, near the end of the route): 685 ft
Aravor (at the bridge beyond the statue, at the end of the route): 1235 ft

I will keep going. Insert your action if you need to (e.g. Wilfer)

DM shield:

Rounds 27 and 28:

Sharvon has hit his limit, receiving two more levels of exhaustion and committing to a slow jog (and no more dashes) but with the city watchwoman hot on his heels. She stumbles over a beggar but otherwise maintains a pace that Sharvon cannot keep up anymore. And now he is in the straight where there is no alley to duck into. One of the caches is very close, however, within 15 feet or so. It will mean a slight diversion from the chase to go pick it up, however.

Sharvon's distance to the statue: 545 feet

Thug 2: 238 feet south (3 levels of exhaustion)
City Watch 1: 195 feet (3 levels of exhaustion)

City Watch 3: 18 feet

Wilfer (on the route): 185 feet south of Sharvon, 10 feet to the nearest (exhausted) pursuer
