Jimjar makes the leap, but is too fired up about his success to do it as quietly and cleanly as possible.
The kuo-toa stationed on the docks calls out, and starts heading towards the cluster of buildings.
((Galingal, Stena and Jimjar have dropped down to the dockside, and are currently concealed, but the guard from the end of the docks is coming to investigate.))
((Neth and Lia, you know that the other three made it over, and that Gloog the Kuo-toa and Buppido the Derro should be nearby. You also hear a call from the docks, and one of the two guards you're talking to turns his head to look in that direction. What do you do?))

((Also, this weekend was moving weekend for Jokkord, so might be a bit delayed as I'm sure he's sorting out other stuff at the moment! Is there any signal that Lia would like to pass to Buppy or Gloog?))
I think Lia thinks that everyone (Buppy and Gloog) are big enough and ugly enough to improv their own vibe into what’s happening. She’s also too focussed on the guards, and the stealth team, and babysitting the new blue guy((Lia’s thoughts not Grwobert’s!)) to fret too much about anything else…
At the very least, when Lia sees the guard’s head start to turn, she would have crashed out a chord from her Lyre, in an attempt to win his attention back this way, and maybe as a prelude to a Lyre-based spell (if needed) later, in the next few seconds.
If the chord’s volume and timing doesn’t work, and if Neth doesn’t act, she will probably say something or cast something…
Lia isn't sure what Neth said, or what the KT said in return, but hearing their response not as words but merely as sounds, notes of an unwritten song... it strikes her as false. They intend deceit!

Lia says out loud in simple common, “But first a song!!… to the Deep Father!…”.
She steps back a step into a bow, whilst hitting another chord on her Lyre and improvising a very animated (distracting) song about the Deep Father…
Whenever anyone moves to approach, or say something, she gets louder, or hits another chord, or changes tempo, and pirouettes away a step (back the way they came) if needed.
Hopefully distracting and occupying the two guards they are meant to distract, enough for the strike team to get a bit further…
The chords she plays are a fraction away from some very powerful spells if need be…
Galingal raises an eyebrow across at Stena once the sounds of whatever distraction the others are making reaches his ears. He has hear Lia make music many times. He's not sure what this is.
But he stays hidden, still waiting in ambush with the others for the one guard who was coming their way to check out the noise that was made.

Stena gives Jimjar a sharp look as she readies her bow to welcome the incoming KT.
She tries to slip behind something to ambush it.
stealth: 12
Galingal, taking Stena’s lead moves opposite to find a spot to ambush the approaching KT guard.
Stealth: 6
((In a kind of bullet time…)) …Lia glances over to Neth, to see if he has anything going on here… giving him first refusal on any actions…
((…but she’d like to reserve the right to act if he doesn’t)).

Neth let’s out a slightly audible gulp.
Well, my friends, the Deep Father is truly the way, even a foolish outsider like myself can see that. How do I, uh, join your people in praising him?”
Persuasion : 6
((Classic))
The two guards glance at each other, one of them cracking a fishy grin, the other bobbing their head as they speak in Undercommon.
"Yes! Even foolish outsider see. You are welcome to praise the Deep Father!"
((Lia, can I get an Insight at disadvantage from you?))

Neth says, in a very sing songs voice in tune with Lia, “This isn’t going very well”.
Lia sings, “As long as they’re focussed on us!… …. … BLAM!… BLIM BLAM… Skiddle do dat!… habba dib dat!!”
