As this is going on, Avys would have gone to check in on the fancily dressed prisoner along with Feliara awkwardly imposing himself with a few questions, "why would they want either of you in the first place? What's their motive?" he questions the man curiously as he begins eyeing the room for a way to get to the sewers. "How do we get to the sewers from here?"
Investigation: 22
After a cursory search he also takes out his magnifying glass and will cast detect magic as a ritual to pick up on anything magical or valuable in the warehouse.
Raenar gets up, dusts himself off, seeing that you all are not a threat.
“Well, in a nutshell, the Zhentarim think that my father embezzled a large amount of gold while he was Open Lord, and that he hid the dragons somewhere in the city. They think they can find it by using an artifact called the Stone of Golorr, which was in the hands of the Xanathar Guild until recently. Apparently, someone stole it. The Zhents thought I knew something about all of this, but I don’t. My father and I haven’t spoken in years. In a case of mistaken identity, Floon was captured and I escaped. The kenku might know where they dragged him off to. I didn't see anything. I was uh..hiding." he says, embarrassed.
Kasha, who was over by one of the windows, was looking out and shouted.
"Uh, guys..and/or girls?"she calls out. "I think the po po are coming! Lots of em! They're headed this way. They look angry!"
Avys, you are detecting magic upstairs. Something small.
Naumick nods in appreciation of the healing spell. At Kasha's proclamation, the dwarf spins on the fancy man. "How'd they get to the sewers? From in here?" He looks about quickly, obviously agitated.

"One moment, there's something upstairs that I need to check out" He'll motion to the the dwarf and/or bard to follow him if they chose and quickly shuffles upstairs looking for the hint of magic (still with the spell activated and his boomerang in hand to light the way.) As he gets closer he will check for traps and things to be concerned about: Investigation 16
"B-but the police! Goddamn it Avys, I swear that if we end up in jail you'll have to get my soap every time it falls!"
Almost running behind him, Feliara climbed up the stairs almost falling a few times. Quite worried about the police, she urged the Vedalken to take urge on whatever he was doing.
"Come on dear, we've got no time! What did you find? Or hear? Or... Sense?"

"There's something magical up here, it'll only take a moment." he says with amusement as he continues moving a bit more quickly. "I figured you'd be interested in seeing what it is"
Sylivar dramatically frowns, placing both hands on his hips. "Let's make it quick, lads and lasses - wouldn't want to be blamed for all this, would you?" he calls, broadly gesturing around. He places his quarterstaff in the hands of the injured human, offering it as a walking stick to expedite the party's retreat. He points a thumb backwards at the kenku. "What're we doing with this? Seems like a thug of Xanathar's. Weird. This is a Zhent-operated place. Perhaps the Xanathars wanted Floon for some reason? Zhents captured him, too. What a man. He must feel so loved. I wish someone desired me that badly..." he wistfully trails off, shaking his head.
Sylivar then remembers something the Kenku said. "The birds are members of the Xanathar's, and this one said to follow the yellow signs." A grin sweeps across Sylivar's face. He rubs his palms together. "How does it go? Let's follow the yellow brick road?"
"How'd they get to the sewers? From in here?" "I don't know! I don't know where their hideout is. There's tons of sewer grates everywhere. Maybe one leads to the hideout?"
"One moment, there's something upstairs that I need to check out" "Crap crap crrraaaaaaap....! I have a plan! Get out of here!!" Kasha calls out to everyone, hopping off the window sill. Nearly tripping on herself, she heads for the warehouse door to intercept the po po. She skids to a halt before they can reach the door. "Whoa! Whoa! Hello! Everyone! Hi. What seems to be the problem, ossifers?" "Step aside, young lady. What are you doing here?" they say to her outside. As they are about to move in, Kasha spreads her hands wide. "No no! You don't want to go in there!" "Why?" they say, impatiently. They start nudging past her. "Hold on! Hoooollddd on! Don't you wanna know what I know first before you go in? Might be walking into a trap!"
Upstairs, there is an unused paper bird (magic item) on one of the office desks.
You have mere moments before Kasha's ruse ends, the seconds literally ticking away before she can't stall them for any longer. On the upper level, a large open window could serve as an escape before anyone notices you.
Avys is gently grasp the bird and safely put it away in his pack before heading to climb out of the window. "Oh this is interesting, might be useful down the line too. Let's go, you can climb out first." He will motion towards Feliara to begin moving on.
"We're the Waterdeep watch. We laugh in the face of danger and traps. Move!" "Hey, that's great! But I must warn you! There's really nasty things in there! Aren't you even curious before you go-" "No." "-stomping around in there? Like this?!" Kasha begins doing an impression of a smug soldier stomping around. "No." "Ok, fine. At least answer me this! One last questions and i'll move." "No." "Why are you here? Is there trouble? Maybe I live here!" "Well, we got reports of gang activity here. Are you in a gang?" "Uh. In a manner of speaking?" "Oh, you are?" "Wait. No? Yes? Shit. Wait! No! Well. Yes? NO!" "Ah HA!" "Adventurers are not gang members!" "Sometimes they are." "God dammit. GUYS! HURRY!!" "What!?"
After saying that, the Eladrin sprinted towards the window and jumped head first, planning to do a frontflip in the air before landing on her feet. After that, she would wait for her friend and try to lend him a hand descending.

Sylivar gives an audible sigh. He picks the quarterstaff from his back, silently ushering for the rest to exit. Upon seeing the rest sufficiently in the distance, Sylivar sprints towards the edge of the window above the entrance, jumping backwards through the window. Not the first time. He clutches a bandage-wrapped hand on the windowsill, extending his quarterstaff in the other. "Grab on, Kasha!" he yells, attempting to swing the Half-Elf on his shoulders before swinging from the windowsill and landing a running sprint towards the rest of the party, throwing a bird - in the figurative sense - at the guards behind. Being a Monk and a Wood Elf, Sylivar is exceptionally quick - and certainly outruns the average, armored city guard as he had done before on several occasions.
On the way, he looks for any signs of yellow marks, humming some tune from the Warlock of Oz. Perception: 25

Acrobatics: 21 Avys will clumsily make his way down once Feliara is safe on the ground, plopping down oddly before standing back up straight and brushing himself off as best as possible. He blushes a bit in embarrassment for his lack of finesse
Naumick sighs, manhandling the foppish prisoner and escorting him towards Kasha and the voices. He releases his grip a bit as he gets closer, and gently pushes the man toward the city watch when they come into view. "Here, we be finding yer missing fancy-pants man," he grumbles, stepping between the guards and Kasha. "Some thugs had been roughing him up. Looks like they had a big brawl. Bunch of them are dead. We showed up in time to rescue him. No idea where the rest went. Let's talk about rewards, shall we?"

"The dwarf speaks the truth." Bruvir rumbled (a bit squeakily) in agreement a he stepped forward towards the group. Bruvir had nothing to hide and no intention suffering the indignity of falling face-first out of a second story window; not while he still had any say in the matter.
Kasha sees Naumick approach with Raenar, and she startled.
"D'OH!"she barks. Then, she looks at the Watch nervously. "I mean..Yo!"she turns to Naumick and Bruvir, speaking out of the side of her mouth, as if telling a secret. "What are you doing! I told you guys to get out!"
"Raenar, eh?" one of the watch says. "The plot thickens. We're going to have to take you all in for additional questions. You know. Rules, and stuff? You guys are either accomplices or witnesses. Leeeet's go." and one of them starts to apprehend us all, but then Kasha acts reactionary.
"Oh, shit! Nope! No jail time! Bye, Raenar! Nice to meet you!"she says, shoving him into the group of Watch officers. She spins around, turns into a giant eagle, startling everyone, grabs Naumick and Bruvir by their shoulders, and takes off into the sky, but keeping low to the rooftops, scanning for the others, leaving a group of bewildered people down on the ground.
Feliara rapidly approaches Avys to make sure that he was fine. Surely he wasn't the most agile person in the city, and that jump wasn't something easy. She rapidly pats his body looking for any signs of wounds before taking a step back.
"You okay Avys? You surely have improved physically since we met!"

A giant eagle swoops towards you guys as you make a quick getaway from the warehouse. The giant eagle gently drops Naumick and Bruvir, and in a leafy magical pop, Eaglesha is Kasha once more. She rubs her back, wincing at Bruvir. "Great Squirrel Nuts, you're heavy. Are you a robot, or something?"she wonders.
Naumick's sphincter finally releases as he turns slowly toward Kasha. "Let's not be doing that again," he grumbles, but then winks. "But quick thinking."
