(Homebrew) Heroes of Bardstown

Grugga thanks all the fishermen and sailors for their time and, once his companions are all ready as well, steps out into the fresh air. "Well," He addresses his companions, "Where to first? I think we should head to the Water Pony first and see if Sabbras can tell us anything more - maybe he can describe some faces or... something - but then we should certainly go to this warehouse. I suppose we'll need to be a bit covert on this one, eh?"

Leelan nods in agreement.

"Quite. It’s definitely wiser to have some information of what we’re walking into first. Knowledge is power, or so the old saying goes. Although, considering the current time of day, infiltration could be to our advantage…What say you, O fearless leader?"

"If we are to talk to this Sabbras I could be our face as the talisman I wear allows me to change my appearance, making us more anonymous in our investigation. When we decide to investigate that warehouse my familiar Furvus could help out with that." Aubrey says to the others, looking to Rohuzar for his decision, standing outside the Land Shark, the raven they noticed earlier coming out of the darkness and landing on his shoulder, a faint weird sound and slight movement coming from its chest.
They both scan the darkness for prying eyes. Perception with help from Furvus: 24

Aubrey:

Rohuzar nods to Aubrey warily. 

“Dah. Lead on.”

Aubrey uses his awakened mind to inform the others of what his familiar has observed (post #1504)

(Aubrey didn't intend to lead, just offered to do the talking with Sabbras. Not sure if we are going to meet Sabbras or go to the warehouse first though.)

On hearing the new information, Rohuzar will take the lead and set a fast pace in an attempt to lose the stalkers and attempt to get around behind them. 

Aubrey quickly follows Rohuzar, letting Furvus fly up on a rooftop to keep an eye on the three lurking men, reporting on their movements.
Aubrey Stealth if needed: 13

[OK.  I am looking for three checks, each contributed by a different party member.  I need:  Athletics (to stay ahead of your tail); Perception (to not lose them completely and find them again when its your turn to pursue); and Stealth (to do all this without them realizing you have slipped around behind them).  You're far enough ahead that you can talk strategy without fear of being overheard.  I will wait until all the rolls are in and then I will update.]

(Could Furvus grant advantage on the perception check if Aubrey made that, considering he is spying on the three lurking men?)

[That makes sense, assuming we withdraw the stealth roll and make perception check w/advantage that could work. Then we just need stealth and athletics.]

Guilim Athletics: 9

Rohuzar attempts to keep the party moving around corners quickly and quietly.

stealth 10 

(I had no idea Rohuzar was our stealthiest lol) 

Aubrey perception with help from Furvus: 18

Athletics 13

Perception 15

Stealth 7

The three figures are able to easily keep up with the five of you as you try to pull away and then circle behind them.  However, while you are able to keep tabs on their position with help of your flying familiar, they lose you in the crowds, passing you by.  They double back a few times but continue to fail to locate you and are themselves very easy to keep eyes on.  You might get the impression these three are not very good at surveillance....

You also get a good look at them.  Even with the cloaks up, it doesn't take long for you to recognize them as the Blue Crowns...  the crew you nearly scrapped with over the remains of the hydra.  

After a few minutes they grow frustrated and look ready to abandon the search.

(Can you please remind if these guys are elf, orc, or human?) 

Rohuzar readies a javelin. “If ve don’t take care of this now, they vill interrupt at very inopportune time.” 

"So should we scare them off? If we fight in town I doubt that we will be let off easy. At best we would be in chains by the end of the day."

“Hmph… if perhaps there vas a vay to direct them somewhere out of the sight of the guard.” 

"We might try to lure them under the docks if we want to deal with them somwhere secluded." Aubrey suggests in a lowered voice, keeping an eye on the Blue Crowns, letting Furvus do the same from a rooftop nearby.
