The party easily force open the door. They find themselves in a large room where tables and chairs have been carelessly tossed across the floor. The corpses of a dozen men lie along the walls, their rapiers and daggers lying nearby. On the north side of the area, stairs rise to an open level above. The creatures that Ophelia saw are nowhere to be seen.
Aedar unsheathes his longsword and looks around searching the room for the creatures Ophelia mentioned (Perception6). As he moves through the room, he also checks if the corpses bear some signet rings, amulets or emblems of sort. "I hope Volo's friend is not one of those corpses" whispers to the group.
Klaes examines the corpses to have a better understanding of what happened here. “Are anyone of these fine gentlemen the ones you saw Ophelia?”

As the party starts examining the corpses four arrows come flying out of the collection of boxes in the northeast corner targeting 1 = Aedar, 2 = Eryn, 3 = Klaes 4 = Ophelia (1, 2, 1, 3) - 1st arrow (Attack: 11 Damage: 5), 2nd arrow (Attack: 15 Damage: 4), 3rd arrow (Attack: 10 Damage: 8) & 4th arrow (Attack: 15 Damage: 7) and as the arrows hit Klaes and Aedar a deep voice with an orcish accent says “Xanathar sends its regards.”

Aedar winces in pain as the orc's arrow pierces him on the shoulder. "We have just found them Klaes." He then muttering an incantation to heal some of his wounds (5), rushes towards the northeast corner taking cover and hoping to put the orcs within his reach.
Two well placed arrows hit Klaes back, and he goes down where he stands.

Aedar clears the crates from which the missile fire and the orcish voice had come. Much to his surprise its not one Orc, or even a group of orcs, rather its four bird like creatures frantically reloading their short bows.
"They are not orcs!" shouts Aedar as he lashes out at the nearest bird like creature with his longsword in an overhead slash hoping to finish off the strange creature. He then moves in a way to remain in melee range of as many creatures as possible.

After the arrow hits her, Ophelia fumbles to the ground. She is not used to being hit with weapons on purpose. She then proceeds to heal herself. Cure Wounds10 HP.
The last thing that Klaes remembers is the stinging pain from two arrows piercing his body from the back. Next thing he knows, he regains consciousness, and he sees Ophelia flying away wishing him to feel better. "Ahh little one, I will try." To his horror, as his Fairy friend flies away, she is hit by a well placed arrow, and drops to the floor. He is relieved that she was able to take care of herself.
He quickly finds his top hat, and stands in front of Ophelia. "Leave her alone, you monsta." He looks for the one that shot his friend, and whispers into the air. "To gonya pay fo xidawang." ("You will pay for this.") (Dissonant Whispers on #1 WIS Save DC 14)
