Akyan stops approaching the three fleeing elves and looks confused. He once again looks back at the door. "They sure are cowards. Do you think they are worth chasing?"

Trotsky (leader) WIS Saving throw 18
(You all are not great at deception, but the thugs are incredibly gullible, apparently...)
Ivan the barbarian's voice comes through the door. "That was strange. Why were they following you? The boss said I can't let you in. I don't think she likes elves."
Trotsky, the female warrior seen earlier in the doorway, looks around wildly, having heard something whispering in her ear, but seeing nothing.
"Elvish magic!" she shouts. "Those damned pointy-ears are up to something. They're probably why the shipment is late! Cyric's Black Heart! What do we do now?"
Akyan sheaths his rapier, "I suppose they could have followed us from the last town. My kind isn't well liked among other races, particularly other elves. They could very well have been targeting my companion and I. That said i understand if your boss isn't comfortable with us around. Is there anyone else we can talk to? We really need work."
Hearing the woman shout, he takes on a shocked expression, then looks irritated. "I knew those three ran off to easily! Not to mention there weren't very many of them. Get you and your men out of there. They could have several people inside under an invisibility spell."
"Kyrsa, don't go to far. Try to get yourselves in strategic location just don't let them see you yet."
This is not going to end well, Kyrsa thinks glumly. To Akyan she says, "Alright, just...be careful. I'd prefer to get out of this without losing any of our team."
As she and the others make their way back into the shadows she whispers to Tamryn, "Fine timing you have. What are you doing here anyways? Never mind, we'll talk about that later. Jhaarteal is inside, but we need to find a strategic location so we can help him, Akyan, and Mina."
She looks around, searching for an opportune location. Perception12
Mina stays quiet as Akyan tries to deceive them by scaring off thier 'tail'. She joins in the facade by putting her hand on her bow when they are trying to intimidate, but otherwise just follows Akyans lead as she knows he is communicating with some of the team. She just hopes Jhaartael is alright.
No windows on this level, but if he went to the large doors for wagons, there are some gaps Jhaartael could peer through.
The card-playing thugs have risen to their feet and are milling around, awaiting orders. Trotsky, waving her dagger randomly at the air around her, has retreated upstairs, paranoid that invisible elves are about to attack her.
Ivan unlocks the door and opens it, saying, "Everybody out! The invisible elves are going to murder us all with their magic!" He then flees the building, heading west along the street.
Still invisible, Jhaartael will follow the leader, keeping a distance from the leader, his bow at the ready.
He will telepathically inform Akyan "The leader has retreated upstairs, I am going to follow her and try to get her to see that being in the slave trade is not worth the trouble. One of the thugs opened the door, come on in."
Following upstairs her, he will wait until he can see the outside through a window or the open door (if it is in his sight) but also keeping her in sight (priority).
When this opportune position presents itself, he will drop invisibility and speak to her, suggesting"This slave trade seems like it is getting to be a pain. You're probably better off just leaving town with the gang you have at your command. Let us elves have this post."

There are windows on the building on the opposite side from the large wagon-doors, approximately 12 feet up the rough wooden plank wall. Trotsky reaches the loft, and opens a door that leads into the office. Jhaartael just manages to squeak through before she turns and locks the door. One of the exterior windows is located at the back of this room, and the wizard can see the outside, and the street one floor below.
Akyan watches the barbarian flee the building then takes the opportunity to dash inside. Once in he yells at the guards who are still inside as he runs towards the stairs. "Did you not hear your friend? There could be dozens of elves in here get out while you still can! They won't chase you, I'm the one they want. Now GET OUT!"

(Round 2)
As Ivan runs out the door and past Mina, she attempts to snare him with her net. She is not understanding letting these slavers get away and it is starting to frustrate her.
(Round 1)
“You idiots!” Kyrsa says a little to loudly. “This is not how this was supposed to go.”
Deception:14
(This is half acting half how she really deals lol)
To Akyan she says, “I doubt this is going to work, but it’s worth a shot.”
Akyan stops approaching the three fleeing elves and looks confused. He once again looks back at the door. "They sure are cowards. Do you think they are worth chasing?"
Performance: 23 (natural 20)
Deception if needed: 8

((is there any window that Jhaartael can see the street from where he is? Even a little bit of the outside?))

Tamryn fails to climb the wall and very quietly lands on his rear end.
Jhaartael reveals himself to Trotsky, (not like that, you perverts) but fails to charm her.
Akyan hollers at the remaining thugs, who somehow are intimidated but not persuaded (Thanks a lot Akyan, how am I supposed to roleplay that?)
Lyndaran pending
Kyrsa attempts to climb the wall that Tamryn failed to climb
Athletics: 12
Stealth: 22
(haha. Woops. I guess they're just scared of the crazy drow that just scared off their barbarian, then ran into their base for no apparent reason.)
