Sylivar winces as he's stuck by a Kenku's arrow. "I didn't mean it like that!" he yells, twisting around to elbow Kenku3 in the side of the head before cracking down with his staff non-fatally if it is still up. If Kenku3 goes down, he staggers towards Kenku2, righting his balance by slamming the end of his staff in its chest.

Bruvir cursed as he was once again hit and began bleeding profusely.  Before he could retaliate though, the roughish dwarf stepped in and finished off the avian enemy.  I don't need to be saved by some bloody dwarf, he thought to himself angrily as he spit out a glob of blood and began searching for another enemy to attack.  Finding one a few paces away, he charged forward and swung at it with all his might.

Kasha ballet dances over to Bruvir and she sprinkles small comical healing caterpillars all over you. They begin mending and healing your wounds for 7. Once done, they pop into butterflies and flutter away in a beautiful sparkle of color.

Grunting in pain, but keeping a smile knowing that he's irritated Bruvir with his previous attack, Naumick unleashes on Kenku2.

Shortsword Attack: 12 Damage: 4
Dagger Attack: 21 Damage: 6

The last kenku drops, and the bottom floor of the warehouse is quiet, with the exception of the noises the one lone kenku that Sly knocked out. It seems to be barely alive, but alive.

"Hey look!" Kasha pointed. "This one's still alive!"

Sylivar places his staff on the ground, choosing to gently lay the adorable - yet vicious - birdling on the floor of the central area. He immediately stands back up, glancing around the room for any more possible threats - he wasn't about to be surprised by some more of these things. He laces both hands behind his neck, giving his arms a good stretch. Fighting was exhilarating, but unfortunately it looks like they found something slightly more...murderous. He glances around at the dozen bodies in the room. What happened here?

Regardless, Sylivar crouches down to look at the Kenku in its eyes. "Hey, little guy - I suggest not screaming or anything. I don't want to hurt you, but I can't say the same for the giant over here who might, what - crush you underfoot? Who knows. Could you politely tell us what happened here, and if you've seen any fancily dressed folks wandering around?" he asks, voice relaxed and somewhat slurred. 

He then gives a look around to the less roughened-looking folks of the party, as if to ask if they were alright. Sylivar was pretty desensitized to the way of crime on the streets, but he didn't know if the same could be said for the others. 

Once the battle ends, Naumick falls back against a wall to begin tending to his wound, which seems quite severe. He sheathes his blades, leaning his crossbow near him as he works to apply makeshift bandages. His breathing seems a bit labored, but he doesn't complain or ask for help. Once he's done what he can, he grabs his crossbow and begins searching the area for any clues of their quarry.

It wasn't until the caterpillars began to flutter away as butterflies that Bruvir noticed the healing magic taking effect on his body.  Though surprised at first, he realized that it was druid's magic healing him once again.  That's twice now... Blast this cursed body!  he thought to himself in frustration as he saw the last of kenkus defeated.  Swallowing his pride for a moment, he turned to Kasha and said, "Thank you Druid.  It seems you've saved me twice today.  I your aid will not be forgotten."   Then hearing the group talking to one they had captured, he marched over it as he pointed his hammer directly infront of it's face and said, "And speak truthfully.  Answering our questions with lies will not end well for you.  That I can personally guarantee..."

In a deep voice with an orcish accent, the kenku says “Xanathar sends its regards.”

Naumick: The corpses belong to five human Zhentarim and seven human Xanathar Guild thugs, all of them clad in leather armor. Each Zhent has a black tattoo of a winged snake on his neck or forearm, and one of the Xanathar Guild members has a black tattoo on the palm of his right hand that looks like a circle with ten spokes radiating out from its circumference (the symbol of Xanathar). Looks like a typical gang fight.

"Thank you Druid.  It seems you've saved me twice today.  I your aid will not be forgotten." 
"Oh, you!" Kasha p'shaws.

"And speak truthfully.  Answering our questions with lies will not end well for you.  That I can personally guarantee..." 
The Kenku makes a noise, like a puppy who got it's paw stepped on, and says in a thin, nasally voice: “Tie up the pretty boy in the back room! Follow the yellow signs in the sewers.”

Naumick perks up as he hears the kenku and then looks for the backroom, approaching it quietly and checking the door. If not locked or trapped, he'll peek inside.

Over at Z2, the backroom, it's easy to find. It's the only other room in the warehouse. The door to this back room hangs loosely on broken hinges. The cramped chamber beyond smells strongly of sour fish and vinegar. It is filled with discarded ropes, canvas tarpaulins, and splintered wood from smashed barrels. Most importantly, a handsome man wearing fancy clothes is in the back. He looks a little roughed up.

"Please don't hurt me! Please don't hurt me!"

Naumick calls back to the others. "I found Fancy Pants." He doesn't lower his crossbow, but he points it away from them man. "Where'd the bad guys go?" He begins looking about the room. 

Kasha pops up behind you comically, like that dog from UP that says SQUIRREL!

She sniffs the air. "Ew, it smells like ocean in here."

"They took Floon to the sewers! Some underground hideout, or something. On the night of the abduction, I was concerned that Floon was too intoxicated to find his way home by himself and I offered to escort him. We were jumped by five thugs as we left Fillet Lane and headed north on Zastrow Street. I believe they mistook Floon for me! These kenku are all that remain of the Xanathar Guild force that murdered almost everyone in the warehouse after the five Zhentarim thugs captured us and brought them here. Floon was taken away, but I managed to staying alive by hiding. Are they dead?"

"We should tie the little bird down, just in case he... or she, whatever, decides to wake up and go for a midnight stab"

Feliara says as she approaches the uncocious kenku. With a bit of disgust, she examined it together with the corpses to see if she could scavenge anything before looking at her friends. With her lyre on her hands, she plucked a few strings to demand attention before talking.

"Someone's hurt? I think I can still cast another healing spell"

• Investigation:15

Kasha pointed to Naumick, wincing.

 "Oi, oi, dwarf! Don't get yourself in trouble wounded like that! I can heal, but don't expect me to bring you back from the dead!"

After saying that with a rather worried tone, the Eladrin approaches Naumick while playing what seems to be a quite complicated melody. Healing spells are more complicated than other ones, at least for the elf. After she finishes the song, a few leaves appear on her hand, slowly orbiting it with the sound of a soothing breeze. Once she was behind him, she warns the dwarf to avoid any accident before letting her magic heal his wounds.

"Okay, I'm here! Let me just... Done! Definitely dry now"

It was then when Feliara noticed the guy hidden in the backroom. She walks until she gets besides the dwarf and took a long look at that fella. A soft smile appears on her face as she stores her lyre away and crossesd her arms on her chest.

"Who do we have here? Oh, a pretty human, to say the least! And quite scared..."

She takes a step foward, approaching the human and ignoring that Naumick still has his crossbow ready. Carefully, she leaves a hand on the scared human's shoulder and gives him her warmest smile to try to comfort him. Scared people tend to find harder to remember things.

"Don't worry kid, we'll get you safe and sound to wherever you sleep. Though, it'd be great if while we get you home you remembered something else... It'd really help us adn your friend out"
