Lucian listens intently as the owner explains what happened.

Insight on bartender 13 (or use as advantage for Dekket), Edit: Inquisitive feature Ear for Deceit will make that a 15

He begins to scan the rest of the bar to see if anything is out of place, asking for his god for assitance

Standing by the front door Leo watches closely to see the reaction of the taverns patrons to the keepers statement “this isn’t going well” he says quietly to Phaedra

hearing Dekket ask for someone to backup Ranlin in the kitchen Leo moves swiftly to follow his path (dash as a bonus action, base movement of 45ft) drawing his shortsword as he goes. 

"This guy, plan a trap for us? He doesn't seem the type, still I don't see him counting out the gold, or making my drink for that matter, so you could be right. Seems the man doesn't like making sensible choices, what a shame."

Perception 19

The old tavern keeper is telling the truth, he's honestly surprised the party had shown up. He also knows his nephew us more than likely in some sort of trouble with the Order.

Most of the party hears Ranlin's scuffle with Kay from the kitchens making the rabbity old man very nervous but he stays behind the bar, some patrons however are rising from their chairs some removing weapons from concealed places....while others just look anxious to leave!

Leo comes to the kitchen doorway and sees Ranlin brandashing a short sword carrying a bag dashing towards him.  The teen however darts out the back door. Ranlin says...

 "What have we got here boys, something from the Order?" Ranlin will say to his teammates while holding up the bag.

The halfling easily passing Leo in the doorway with his prize he comes with a velvet sack with Medusa's sigil on it!

"No one leaves," Tyburn bellows from his vigil by the staircase. The half-orc crossing his tree trunk like arms over his chest looking menacing.

"I'm afraid he's right," Phaedra says oddly cheery at the door still leaning casually on the wall. "No need for blood shed," she then says sighing loudly. "You owe 50 gold and we'll be on our way," she adds as the old man makes a straggled sound before be begins sputtering pleas for clemencey.

OOC: You don't have to clock speed/movement in non-combat scenarios!!

Leo watches Ranlin intently as he passes by, keen to find out what the teen boy could possibly have of the Orders, hearing Phaedra Leo returns his shortsword to its scabbard on his waist and moves to follow Ranlin to look more closely at his prize.

Seeing some of the other customers drawing their weapons, Lucian slides off the barstool and pulls out his crossbow from beneath his cloak. Keeping his weapon pointed towards the floor, to the nearest one he offers, "Oh, come on now, friend. You don't want to do anything stupid like that would you? You see that one," he jabs a thumb in Tyburns direction, "we've got three more his size just waiting outside for any sign of trouble. So why don't you take a seat so no one will get hurt."   Deception plus guidance 22

Seeing Ranlin emerge from the kitchen with his spoils, he looks over his shoulder while keeping an eye on the potential troublemakers, "Uhh...you tie the kid up in the kitchen there, Champ, or did he get away?"

Ranlin dumps out the bag. He finds clothing, a small coin purse, a silver kettle, and a book...nothing else. Kay has left the building. The old man looks nervously at Phaedra at the door.

"I swear," he pleads, "ask Merrick I always pay my tithing," he adds frantic.

"Merrick I'm afraid has vanished," Phaedra replies. "Ranlin darling..." she then says her tone edged, "please tell me the boy is tied up in the back," she adds now with a grimace as Tyburn shakes his head.

"Easy job eh?," The half-orc then laughs, "you really did puss some one off didn't you," he adds as Phaedra glares at him holding up a fist that crackles with energy.

"Well newbies figure it out," Phaedra says to the group before waning Tyburn over toward the door. "50 gold or I'm selling you all down at the docks for it," she adds next without a hint of comedy in her tone...

Leo moves closer to the table where Ranlin emptied the bag and picks up the book and begins to flick through it. 

At Phaedra's question to Ranlin, Lucian just smirks to himself, then make his way to the table where Ranlin dumped his spoils. "Killer find there, Champ," the sarcasm is dripping from his voice. "We probably can get a whole gold piece for all this, plus whatever is in the coin purse." He walks over and looks over Leo's shoulder as he examines the book. "Did you at least see which way the kid went?"

Then he glides over to Ranlin. Stooping down, he puts a hand on the halfling's shoulder. In a low voice so Phaedra and Tyburn can't hear, "Okay, so tell me what really happened...Did you really just let him go, or did the kid slip out of your grasp?"

Dekket turns again to the man behind the bar. 

“That’s what you say. But fact is that the Order doesn’t have the money. So, for what concerns the Order you haven’t pay. Now, pay the Order and we could help you finding your missing money. Don’t... and there will be consequences... dire consequences. I am sure that you have more family...” 

Coltra rolls his eyes "my friend is right - the choice is very simple, pay, or very bad things will happen to you and the people you care about.  I don't think we can be clearer, but just in case - are you going to give us 50 gold pieces now? Yes or no? You have proven to be very annoying so far and I am losing what little patience I had, I suggest you factor that into your answer."

"I can not give you what I do not have and as for family Kay is all I have left," the tavern keeper says his tone pleading looking to Dekket and Coltra now before glancing at the door.

The patrons who drew down are now very anxious, the tension in the room is palpable. One man with a blade is edging towards the door even though Tyburn and Phaedra are still standing on either side of it!

"All these threats of violence won't do," Phaedra calls from her place by the door her tone annoyed. "We can't collect from the dead and I'm not cleaning up after the lot of you," she adds gruffly. "I said no blood and I meant it," she exclaims firmly next like a scolding mother.

Tyburn chuckles from his place beside her. "Amateurs," he adds with a smirk as Phaedra sighs again loudly. "I would have knocked the boy out at least before grabbing is loot," he adds next gesturing at the Medusa sigil. "That's easily stolen too isn't Phae," he then asks as Phaedra snickers. 

"You know Ty I do believe it is," Phaedra replies grinning. "Someone in the Order's laundry has been pilfered as well as the gold," she adds jovially speaking to Tyburn before looking back at the party. "Now come, come," she then says addressing the party again. "We've got three more places to collect from today my dears. We're on a time-frame," she adds motioning to the clock coo-cooing the time at half passed noon.

Then you hear it...a firm knock as if something or someone very large wants in....

"I was afraid of that," Phaedra said standing up straight and gesturing for Tyburn to get the door.

"They moved quickly," Tyburn calls turning too the crowd with a drawn dagger. "Who's with the watch in here," he asks looking around at each human, half-elven, and dwarven face of the patrons. "Well we know your friends are outside," he adds smirking at Phaedra looks around too but no one comes forward. "Hopefully this won't end in tears," he adds next as Phaedra riffled in her knapsack removing something she grips in her hand.

"Everyone be calm and you'll all leave here alive," Phaedra then says nodding to Tyburn who grin then disappears with a pop.

Phadrea then turned to the party with a sigh. 

"Good luck eh," Phaedra says before tossing in the air a sparkling acorn that explodes making her invisible too as the front door creaks open leaving the party to deal with the situation!

Are you still being tested? How do you proceed?

“That’s very smart... “ says Dekket to Coltra in low voice when  Phaeldra destroy their play and change her mind at he same time “ We could never collect from this poor man again...” 

“ I suggest using the same escape route as the boy did” 

with that Dekket jump and rolls on his back over the bar and heads for the kitchen.

"Let's go!" Coltra jumps up from his chair and runs for the back around the edge of the bar heading for the same door Kay ran out of. "Does nobody understand bluffing.." he mutters to himself as he goes.

Inisght on the bartender, Does he really not have the money?: 22

"Indeed," he replies to Coltra as he rushes past. "Let me try one thing, then I'll be right behind."

"C'mon, buddy. I know you've got to have something back there," Lucian says as he nervously looks towards the door, and then watching many of his group retreat out the back. He keeps his crossbow out and looks over to the one patron who is brave enough to draw a blade and heading towards Tyburn. 

Leo closes the book and slips it into a pocket as Phaedra scolds the group, as things get more interesting and most of his allies flee towards the back from the apparent threat of the City Watch Leo calls to Lucian “their tactics dictate they are covering the back as well, good luck friend” Leo moves quickly upstairs towards the Inns rooms looking for a nice window facing away from the City Watch that he can use as a escape route.

Preception looking for a nice window 15

Lucian he's telling the truth.

Ranlin lands the punch but without disenaging he swipes down trying to grapple you STR 13. Please roll DEX save DC of the STR roll.

Coltra and Dekket running out the back door trying to "escape" run smack into three more of the City watch.

"What's the hurry," a half-orc says with a tusky smile. 

He's flanked by two dwarves with warhammers.

Lucian is standing in the middle of the tavern as the guards come inside.

Leo up stairs all the doors are locked. Roll perception.

Ranlin you manage to slip out of his grasp but also find Dekket and Coltra being blocked by more City Guard.

Leo rolls for preception 17

Dekket almost hit the tusky half-orc in his escape. 

“Oh thank Godness you are here! Please please help us!” He says completly freaked out “ they are inside and has started to hit everyone!! “ he moves a little bit towards the back of the guards pointing to the interior of the kitchen. “ we were running away, please help us they are coming!” 

Suddenly a loud noise came out of the kitchen, as if something had throw away something metallic and big. 

That freaks out the tiefling and, with a scream he continues runnig away if nobody catches him. “Run!! Run for your lives!!”
