"This is great!! Just the stories Gramps used to tell of the legendary gnome thief, Cumberbatch Cooperfield!!" As this thought silently crosses his mind he notes the voices. Intrigued by the sounds he stays to the shadows and gently pushes his ear to the door trying to hear what is being said and if he can guess how many people are in the room. Feeling brave he very gently and lightly nudges the door hoping to get a subtle peak inside.

Robin has Sabastian fly back towards her once the sounds ahead are noticed. She would waive everyone else to be cautious as they continue forward. She would stop before the room with the thugs in it though.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
moving up to the room with a thug slowly, Robin prepares to cast a spell. She would move right up till she could see the two thugs and then release the spell.
Both thugs fall asleep as the sleep spell is cast. They slump over on the floor, unconscious.
Xina, the tome appears to be guarded by a magical lock that would probably be trapped if it was picked. Tuigeo notices voices and banging coming from upstairs.
Moving into the next room, Robin quickly kneels down next to each slumbering thug and quickly ties them. She will also use a gag to muffle anything they try to do to set off an alarm. As the others join her she will glance up to them. "These are only going to be out for a minute, so we best be quick with whatever we do next..." Once done tieing up the thugs, she gets to her feet and nods ahead. "Seems we need to head upstairs to find out what is going on..." She says, ready to move on.
As you come up the stairs, you see another Zhent, this time with an extremely burnt left side of the face and an angry expression. He turns to face you all. "So these are the runts that that gnome was trying to get to? You're too late. I'm already three steps ahead of you, and you're in a bigger trap than you realize!"
Two unarmed fighters with similar stances to Jin jump out of the shadows to join the leader-looking Zhentarim agent.

Xina will use a bonus action to Disengage and spend her movement climbing the stairs past the enemies. Taking the use object action to drop 36 ballbearings among the feet of their enemies
Fizz looks at this Robin women, "Nifty trick there. I can sometimes freeze one person in place but to take down two like that!" He helps Robin tie both the men up and while doing so rummages through their pockets and belongs looking for anything useful or might give an insight into the situation.
Fizz reaches the stairs as the burnt faced man finishes speaking. He looks up at the man and seeing their cover is blown says, "Just tell us what is going on I am sure there is a logical explanation and we can all laugh about whatever the misunderstanding is over a nice cold glass of milk, you know it's free right now over at the Yawning Portal!"

Darien hesitates as he sees the man with the burn on the side of his face. "Hey! The guy at the Bent Nail did say the man running from the scene was scarred on one side of his face." He stays back, allowing others from the group move ahead of him. He keeps as much distance as he can from the three apparent Zhentarim agents.
Again communicating telepathically, he asks Tuigeo to fly past the agents to check if there might be any more nearby. Then he should stay just behind them and be ready to help out.
(OOC - I'm a little unclear: "As you come up the stairs" implies that we're all on the stairs. But it kind of sounds like we all made it upstairs and then saw the enemies? Just not sure if we're REALLY cramped for space or have some room!)

Gadhan would have been staying a room behind everyone seeing as he is not very sneaky. But once we hey to the stairs he would draw his rapier and ready himself for battle. "Ahhhh, the sober fighting, no where near as good as the drunk fighting."
(OOC for Culuril: you're fighting at the top of the stairs plus a little bit of hallway, so you are a little cramped but have a little room to move around)
As a surprise round (since the martial artists came out of nowhere), both martial artists will shoot darts: one at Gadhan and the other at Darien. 2220

Yep, large locked tome. Sabastian flies through the villa, before turning around at arguing and threats in a room ahead.
Fizz, you see two Zhentarim thugs clad in black leather armor, arguing over whether or not to check the pantry for bread.
"I swear, that bread is just as good as when we overtook the first floor!"
"You think little of the two servants we killed in the pantry, Lukas! Get yourself together!"
The two thugs are to busy arguing among themselves to notice you as you slip away back into the kitchen.
Robin has Sabastian fly back towards her once the sounds ahead are noticed. She would waive everyone else to be cautious as they continue forward. She would stop before the room with the thugs in it though.
Xina is going to investigate the tome and if it isn't trapped she'll wedge it between her pack and her back.

Darien moves into the library, following Xina. He tries to take a look at the tome - at least as best he can before she takes it.
Telepathically he asks Tuigeo to keep an eye out for anything approaching.

Darien says quickly to Xina, “Just grab that and go? There's voices and banging upstairs."
He looks around for any sign of stairs, moving ahead to join up wherever Robin went. Tuigeo he again sends to scout ahead invisibly.

Jin is good with punching people. Not all of this other stuff. So he tries to find someone to punch.
"Yup, I'll try not to pick it, but either the owner is dead or will want it protected. Let's go"
She turns to stay close to the group
