Yeshil:

Out in the Street:

Jirel gives Jararaka an alley-oop and the lizardwoman sails through the air with the greatest of ease.  As she approaches the exterior wall of the second floor of the flophouse, she notices that there are no true windows up here... just blocks with thin ventilation slits to allow a little breeze and light through.  She impacts the side of the second floor with a crash that visibly shakes the building.  

[Need an athletics roll from Jararaka if she wants to sink her claws in and hang onto the side of the building, otherwise she can drop back down to the street.]

Finn, as you watch this, you get a quick mental note from Misses Binklesworth that there is no sign of Yeshil, something just shook the building, and she [Misses Binklesworth] is currently being chased through a dining room with a butcher's knife.

(reminder that Yeshil has Advantage on Investigation checks right now! not that you needed it in the last roll haha)

Athletics to hold on: 13

If she can, Jararaka will hang onto the building, hissing all the while. Surely that commotion was big enough to get the kiddo a chance to check out whatever's hidden?

(ignore this part if she didn't get high enough to hang on) She knows she won't see Yeshil but she tries to peek into the second floor while she's up here anyway. Perception: 20

     Finn instructs Misses Binklesworth to head for the outside!  Perhaps she can at least draw one outside...  Misses Binklesworth, in turn, will use the dodge action  and her 40' speed to try to lead any pursuers outside...

Yeshil takes the opportunity of the guard's distraction with Binky to cover as much ground as possible. She first tries the door to the left of the ladder/stove...

(( guyu: thanks for the reminder. DM: Can I unlock doors with a INT check, and sneak around with INT(stealth)? :)  ))

Outside in the Street:

Jararaka digs her claws into the side of the building... but her grip is not quite enough stay put.  Instead, she slowly slides down the exterior wall of the flophouse, her claws leaving deep gouges and curled bits of wood shavings behind.  As she tries to peek in through the ventilation slits, she gets a brief glimpse of an upstairs hallway.

The two Flaming Fist soldiers look furious but also hesitate further.  Their expressions suggest they have no idea what to do and they look nervous as all Nine Hells.  Meanwhile, there are now ten onlookers.  Some are gawking at the fight, while most just want to get down the street but don't want to walk into something that will get them killed.

Finn, without looking, you get a message from MBotTB that she is approaching the street exit again on the first floor hall, but that the guard has ceased his pursuit of her at the bottom of the stairs.

Tylaerys, as you maintain your concentration on the spell you cast on Yeshil and watch from afar, you notice that there are two more Flaming Fist soldiers approaching from the east (off-map).  They are still a block away, but they have noticed the gathering crowd and are now moving in this direction.

Inside:

Yeshil:

(Yeshil will keep the entry door open for a moment longer, in case she needs to leave in a hurry)

Yeshil starts to think a bit more about the process of opening doors in an inhabited building while invisible, and changes her tactic for the next door to the south. Instead of opening it slightly to peek inside, she will instead simply swing it wide open and stand back until she can see what's inside. She figures a door opening like so will be just as noticeable but more spooky. And she is willing to risk it on a door that adjoins a pantry, with an open escape route behind her...

     "Here kitty, kitty, kitty..." Finn calls out and moves as if to go past the open door but, surprise!  Glancing inside she sees her kitty!  "There you are!"  

     Finn then steps inside the open door and heads for Misses Binklesworth, though trying to keep an eye on the pursuer the whole time.  "I thought you had run off for good this time!"  Finn moves about halfway down the hallway to scoop up her familiar acting all relieved at finally having found the critter. 

     "Oh, hey!" she says, looking up and acting as if she'd just seen the pursuer.  "Sorry if little miss thing here was any trouble for you!  She usually doesn't fun off like this...  I think that big brawl outside spooked her..."

Finn:  Please make a deception check.

Finn Perception: 15

While things on the street arguably are still reasonably under control, Tylaerys is quite ready to step forth to use her social skills to smooth over things with the Flaming Fists before any of the team members are in too deep trouble with them. For now, hoping to buy some time for Yeshil and the others, the young blonde Half-Elf uses her sorcerous powers to create the distracting sound of clamour coming from the street to the north out of sight from the Flaming Fists.

Cast Minor Illusion.
Deception: 16

[With that Perception check, Finn notices that she had better role a Deception check quick.  Seriously, though, I'm not sure if you rolled Deception and just wrote Perception, or if that is a Perception check.  Your modifier is a 6pt difference so it could be a 15 or a 21 depending on what you rolled and I don't see it in the game log.  Can you clarify?]

((Weird...  Not sure if my mind was elsewhere when reading what roll you wanted or in just recording it.  Looking at the dice log though for Finn I see a different characters rolls.  Looking at that character I see their campaign rolls but not their own.  Has D&DBeyond messed up those rolls now as well as in post rolls??  Or this just temporary weirdness??  Who knows...  Anyway, brand new fresh Deception Roll coming up:))

Finn Deception:  7+7 for 14 -more or less the same so *shrug*

In the Hall:

The guard by the stairs looks at Finn for a long moment.  Then he slowly backpedals up the stairs.  "Get out of here," he says menacingly, "and see to that cat of yours."

On the Street:

The two nearby Flaming Fist soldiers look at the gathering crowd, look at each other, and then advance on Jararaka and Jirel.  "Last warning, ladies.  You're disturbing the peace.  Disperse now or you'll be spending the night in the hold at Wyrm's Rock."

Further away, Tylaerys sees the other two approaching soldiers turn and look down an adjoining street.  They pause, and then hurry in that direction.

Second Floor:

Yeshil:

     "Hey, wait!  Wait!" Finn calls out while hurrying after the guard.  "I need to thank you for looking after Kitty-kins!!  Here, let me give you a little something..."

     Finn chases after the guard while trying not to look like she's chasing.  She's playing the role of relieved mommy who just MUST give the person who rescued her little precious a reward...   She's loud and obvious and figures any attention she draws to herself can only help Yeshil... She'll even climb up the ladder but then be hesitant to go much further than that, wanting a route to retreat if necessary.

(Another deception, if wanted:  10+7 for 17)

Yeshil ducks back into the pantry room, pushing the door fully open first (so it doesn't impinge on the door opposite). She doesn't expect anyone to traverse the pantry, but presses herself against the shelves just in case, ready to come out and investigate the rooms across the hall once the occupants start to move out.

As Jararaka slides down from the side of the building, she sighs under her breath at the gathering passers-by. Shifting her attitude, she rejoins Jirel and scratches her head sheepishly in a way her companions would notice to be uncharacteristic (or really, fake). She puts her arm around Jirel's shoulder amiably and says to the two guards, "ah, nothing clears your head more than getting tossed up onto a building, huh? Just a scuffle, me an' m'buddy here, sometimes you get worked up but it's not that serious."

She cranes her head around and calls out to the 10 or so people around, "sorry folks, carry on!" And turns back to the Flaming Fists, "so uh, looks like I made a mess of that wall there, you good guards know the owners of that building? Love ta contribute a few coin to fix the mess, y'know?"

(not sure if a roll is needed here, but I made a general charisma roll... 15 . She gets +2 to that for deception, no modifiers for any other CHA checks)

Finn, roll initiative.  

In the street:

The two guards - slowly - move closer to Jirel and Jararaka.  "I don't know about the building and don't care.  You two just move along now. "

The accelerated activity inside the building warrants an equal acceleration of activity from Yeshil herself, she decides. While staying inside the pantry, she sends her make hand down the hall, opening the doors opposite...

Finn Initiative:  8

In the Kitchen:

1. Guard
2. Finn

"Nah..." says the guard, as Finn pursues him as far as the top of the stairs.  He turns, facing her in the kitchen, still brandishing the knife.  "This is entirely too squirrelly."  He hollers toward the ladder, "Up and out... we have company!"

The he flips the knife from hand to hand, readying himself in case of Finn's next move.

???1 - 6

???2 - 19

In the pantry:

Yeshil hears shouting from the kitchen.  All the activity in the hallway seems to increase.

She uses her mage hand to fling open the door directly across from her.  It opens onto a small bedroom.  A man is throwing on robes and grabbing a backpack.  He looks up in confusion and surprise at the suddenly opened door.  Then you open the next door, revealing a dark, empty room with some clothes and other belongings inside.  At that moment, your mage hand winks out of existence.  [Just realizing you would have had to have cast this before entering the building, or your invisibility would have ended (upon casting the spell).  And I would say you have been inside and invisible for at a minimum of a minute at this point.] 

[I think we should probably all roll initiative at this point, at least to keep up all on the same clock, even if some folk don't KNOW they are in iniative...]
