Keeping a close eye on the bird people as she moves into the room, Zera attempts to reason with them- while indicating the drawn weapons of the others, she says “we are quite capable of killing you instantly. I will take your weapons now, and then you will cooperate, and we might see fit to let you live. We want to know what happened here, and We are looking for someone, perhaps you might help us? . “ As she speaks, a green smoke erupts from her hands while she crosses the room (prestidigitation) “Are there others here?. “. Assuming they let her, she will disarm the two awake bird people.
Seeing the four armed beings subdued by his companions, Friar Xavier begins to quietly walk the perimeter of the room, stopping at interior doors to listen for the presence of other would be attackers in the building.
((Creepy)). “I think they are mimicking voices they heard before and telling the story about what happened,” Zera Says. “Xanathar is the other guild of baddies- this is a Zhentarim base- at least according to the flying snake on the door. So these bodies were caught up in the gang war. I wonder if Floon was tied up in the back room? But who was brought to the boss? Follow the yellow signs in the sewers seems clear enough.... what do you all make of this? In any case, we should have a look around”
she will check the bodies for anything of value quickly, and collect the weapons as the bird men are tied up.

There's a few daggers and rapiers scattered about but nothing else of value
Sir Darak Darkhall: While it takes longer than it should have, Darak finally puzzles out what Friar Xavier is trying to tell him. He says flatly, "I'll have a look if you like, but I don't think this is a privy. You should have relieved yourself back at the tavern."
Darak opens the door.

With Sir Darkhall nearer now, Friar Xavier whispers, "I think I heard someone in there... we should check it out."
"May Ilmater bring light to the darkness of suffering ..." praying for Light on the end of his staff.
Gulp... "Okay ... anybody in here waiting to ambush us, know we have subdued the group out here... We have you outnumbered... if on the otherhand, you are just someone innocent, hiding from these unfortunate gangs, come out and show yourself... we will not harm you... you are safe now."

Inside you see a small storage closet. on the floor cowering at your imposing figure sits a young man in fine clothes, but after your comforting words he relaxes and stands up "My name is Renaer Neverember" he says" and you are...."
"Some call us, the Magnificent Six", he glances over at Wheeze. "We were hired to find Floon Blagmaar, who apparently was kidnapped the other night. My name is Friar Xavier and this is Sir Darak Darkhall. Come, meet the rest of the Magnificent Six. By Ilmater's blessing, you are safe now.You don't happen to know anything about Floon, do you?"
Zera approaches the young man, as she finishes putting away some of the rapiers and daggers she had grabbed,. She gives one of her most dazzling smiles. “My name is Zera. Pleasure to meet you. We would love to hear your tale.”
((Ooc does she recognize his last name? She’s a waterdeep native, so kind of assuming she does, which is why she was being so friendly.))

IF you've been in Waterdeep for more than a few weeks you would probably have heard the name Neverember and its meaning as the previous open lord
“The Zhentarim thinks 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.” he says "and I'm afraid the Xanathar guild took over this Zhent outpost they took Floon, the man I was walking home from the tavern a few nights back, mistaking him for me."
Zera says “we must hurry and try to follow the Xanathar guild people and see if we can rescue Floon. First, we should see if there is anything here of use or value to us on this quest. I’m sure he will be well guarded. Then.. I am guessing it’s into the sewers to follow the yellow signs- as these bird people said? Will you be joining us Renaer?.” She smiles.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Satisfied to see that Master Neverember may be shaken but is otherwise well, Friar Xavier sees the wisdom in Zera's train of thought. "If this was indeed a base of operations for the Zhentarim, it stands to believe that there may be items of use around which perhaps we could use to assist in freeing Master Blagmaar. I am happy to continue checking out this room and its perimeter. Would some of our party like to check out some of the other rooms? It seems to be well vacated and safe now. I am also happy to pray for anyone's guidance who feels they may need it in their searches"
((can we get a description of what other exits lead out of this room so that party members can choose where they would like to search?))
Continues to search the room for anything of use, hidden or otherwise - Perception: 20
As the others check out the privy, and talk to the the birdmen, Veil will prowl through the place, looking into anything around. She will look for any hidden doors, stairs, or containers.

Wheeze: "Well met. Glad to see that you are doing ok, looking ok. Remind me, what is the Stone of Golorr?"

Sir Darak Darkhall: Stroking the stubble on his chin in deep thought, Darak finally says,"A strange tale indeed, sir. Allow me to introduce myself.I am Sir Darak Darkhall, Son of Dartleth Darkhall, Champion of Tyr, Knight of the Realm and Officer of The Grey Hand. You are now under my protection while we investigate thismatter." He ponders further, deciding whether or not he believes the man's story.
Insight: 4
Finally, he'll search the building for evidence with the party.
As the party is searching the room Wheeze will take his chance to get Zera and/or Veil out of earshot of the others
"So this Renaer Neverember chap is a prince, I wonder if there is a reward for his return? Seems to me that we rescued royalty, everyone loves royalty, a reward seems only fair..." Realising that it sounds like he is proposing a kidnapping he quickly adds "What I mean is, should we try and return this princely chap quickly before we look further for Floon....adventuring isn't cheap!"
