Tamryn scans the street, looking for ways to cause chaos to erupt behind him. He says to Annika, "Okay, tell me what you think of this plan. Let's look for a narrow alley. We'll drive the wagon into there and, hopefully, get it stuck. While you're doing that, I'll toss my grappling hook up to a roof and we can climb up and escape over the rooftops. Ideally, we'll do it quickly and stealthily enough that they'll waste time focusing on the stuck wagon while we make off over the rooftops. Sound good?"
With the others investigating, Mina follows along and unlocks doors for those as needed. As she helps open the lockbox, her eyes go wide, "Yes, we should definitely head to the other addresses.."
Once complete, "Do you guys think that Tamryn is in any kind of trouble? Is there any way to locate him?"
"If he is within a mile of us, then i could contact him." Akyan replies to Mina, "But we have no way of knowing that, and i would have to break my current links with Jhaartael and Kyrsa. I think our best course of action is to hit at least one of the last two addresses, then head back to the safe house. It Tamryn isn't there, then we should start looking for him."
Annika nods and says, "Sounds like a plan. We might want to split up, if we're heading to the safehouse. A dwarf and an elf traveling together might be something that gets back to Dannihyr ears. Or did you want to try to meet the rest of your team at one of the delivery sites?"
Jhaartael will let his familiar follow the group out and find him by telepathic means when it returns - letting him know whether they left or where they went instead. ((Okay if that is an hour later as it still allows us to keep an eye out)).
Tamryn nods. “That’s probably best. I’ll go to the Serpents’ dens and you go back to the safehouse and update Spar on our situation. If I find my companions, I’ll help them with their task and if not, I’ll just gather intel on the sites. If I’m not back in five hours, or if I don’t return with my companions, I’ve likely been captured or worse. Leave the city immediately and find a new safehouse from high to continue the fight.”
With that, Tamryn starts looking for a likely alley. Investigation: 20
Akyan looks at the addresses, and taps whichever one is closer. "Might as well hit this one next. We can decide if we want to head back to the safehouse after we finish up there."
Tamryn: There are several likely candidates nearby that you could wedge your wagon into. Now that I read that back to myself, it doesn't sound so good. Anyhoo, coming up soon is a dark alley between Mephisto's magic shoppeand Antiomno's Antiques. If you climbed atop your wagon, it would be a relatively easy jump to the second-floor balconies, or you could climb a rope up to the roof of either building with a DC 10 Acrobatics or Athletics check.
The other delivery addresses are also in the warehouse disctrict, each approximately a 15 minute walk in perpendicular directions. It is now about 7:30 and the Sun is up, although still low in the sky, so the buildings provide ample shadow for those sensitive to sunlight.
As you approach the second site, while doing reconnaissance, you note the door burst open, and out strides a tall male tiefling with blue skin, a triangle-tipped tail, and dark green leather armor. He yells, "I want my merchandise!"over his shoulder. Surrounding him are five burly and heavily-armed humans and half-orcs, who hustle him into a carriage, and then climb up in front and back while it clatters off over the cobblestoned street. Standing in the doorway, frowning, is a female human, with copper skin and black hair, wearing ordinary leather protection, a shortsword strapped to her hip. Mina notes a familiar gold ring on her left thumb. The human then turns and disappears into the building, the door slamming shut behind her.
Akyan dropped his disguise as just before leaving the building. The last thing he wanted was for someone to recognize Grignar. While he is not apposed to joining a gang to gather information, he would much rather do so under a false identity of his own creation.
After witnessing this scene, he turns to the others, "You don't suppose that was the leader do you? If not him then perhaps that woman?"
"The woman is the leader. That man was here to purchase slaves I'm sure. But since they haven't been delivered..." She ends that last with a sly smile knowing they were at least making a small difference in this town.
"C'mon, let's stake this warehouse out. At least we know who to take down."
The building is quite similar to the other delivery site. Two big barn-style doors on the front, where you imagine the wagons would enter and exit. A small humanoid-size door on the side, which is where the human woman recently appeared. Other than that, wood plank walls with peeling paint, a flat two-story high roof, and a couple of windows at the back of the building on the upper level.
The disembodied voice of Jhaartael answers Mina's observations wryly, "Did we get a good look at the 'customer'? Perhaps once we have dealt with the supply, we can also make a dent in the demand?". Mina can almost hear the grim smile in his voice.
Every three or four minutes someone walks down the street, be it a dirty-faced urchin, a young couple holding hands, a tired-looking workman or an elderly widow dressed all in black. How long do you continue observing?
He will keep observing until the group comes to a decision.
As he does so he will say, "We could just knock on the door. Ask to speak with the boss if she's not the one that answers, one of us can show the ring and say that the rest of us are new recruits. If she is the one that answers, we can try to grab her and pull her into an ally or something."

"Alright then" Akyan replies to Jhaartael, "We'll try to investigate quickly then."
Following the others, and searches the rooms with them.
(Since Mina has the keys i'm assuming she's going to pick up the papers?)
With the others investigating, Mina follows along and unlocks doors for those as needed. As she helps open the lockbox, her eyes go wide, "Yes, we should definitely head to the other addresses.."

"Well, which location next?"

"Yes, good..." Kyrsa thinks for a moment. "This time, lets get in, take out our target, and get out."
She scans the area, looking for the best place to try and enter undetected.

Jhaartael also looks for an opportune entrance.
Perception: 5

Other than two doors and two upper-story windows, no other entrances are apparent.
Akyan looks around the area to see if there's anyone else around.
