Lucian runs towards the kitchen, saying a quick prayer, and upon meeting the guards, "Oh good! Kay was able to get y'all rather quickly. Here we are. Come, come." He goes up beside the first guard and ushers him out to the common room. Pointing at the one Ranlin just hit in a sensitive region, "There's one out there pulling out a sword as we speak. I think he may try to attack your friends who came in the front."

Once the guards continue on, he will attempt to slip out the back.
Uh oh...the deception rolls are not going in Lucian's favor.
Did Ty and Phae slip out the door before the guards came in?
As the guards pass into the kitchen Dekket smiles to Coltra, happy that he followed his play, and goes to the side of the alley were there is no guards and Doubles back towards the entrance of the inn but on the other side of the street, were he can take a look from the shadows and have a quick escape route. He will wait with the hood covering his features.
"This was too well orchestrated to be by chance, we are still being tested." He looks across at the tiefling "It was quick thinking on your part to get out but are we going to leave them to fend for themselves, or do we try and help out? I can think of a few ways we could do something without risking ourselves, Leo might well get out from upstairs but the other two are probably in trouble." He looks down at the ground, deliberating with himself. "I think we need to see what is going on, if they aren't all out in a minute I'm going to use magic to change my appearance and go and investigate."

Leo hearing the Watch in the common room will move quickly to the door furthest away, drawing his shortsword Leo breaths deep focusing himself knowing he will likely have only one chance at this “I can’t believe I didn’t buy lockpicks” he says to himself as strikes at the wood just beside the lock on the door with his shortsword then gives it two sharp kicks for good measure hopefully breaking the lock so he can get out.

Ranlin you rush through the half-orc's legs easily but flanked by two dwaveres they both suede you having seen your successful pick pocketing of their commander's coin purse which you made in full view of both of them regardless in the commander noticed!
The half-orc seizes Lucian. "You'll explain in the stocks," he adds attempting to grapple Lucian 8 DC to resist with DEX save or go with it and not face repercussions.
Leo the door does not yield to your blows and the sound draws the attention of two guards who charge up the steps. Two human men blocking off your way down the stairs and the rooms all locked around you there's no escape!
OOC: y'all think Ty and Phae left but you can't be 100% sure!!

With two groups of of the city watch having entered the establishment, Lucian knows he has one last chance to escape. "Okay...okay. You got me. I give up," he tries to get the half-orc to drop his guard some before attempting to twist out of his grasp. (Dex ST 24)
He makes a mad dash for the back door, giving the guard a rather rude hand gesture!

The dwarves are nearly blocking the exit as the half-orc was in the process of moving into the kitchen after Dekket and Coltra's amazing bluffs!
Lucian avoids the half-orc grasp but runs into Ranlin being held and the two dwarven guards.
Ranlin grapple Dwarf 1 17; grapple Dwarf 2 15 combined they're unable to hold onto you but they peruse you any how!!
Lucian dodges the half-orc's grasp but once he sees Lucian running he turns to follow. Lucian then is held up by three figures blocking the exit, Ranlin fleeing and the two dwarves in pursuit.
"Enough! If you lot want to live..." the half-orc draws his longsword, "kneel or be delt with here," he adds in a low growl. Intimdation 21

“It’s ok fellas, she said no bloodshed” says Leo to the two Watch members as he puts his shortsword away once more “See I’m unarmed, no trouble” Leo slowly walk towards the two men with his hands out to his side to show he is not holding a weapon, just before they grab him “I don’t suppose you’ll believe it’s my first day”
Well since the dwarves failed to grab him, can Ranlin run out the kitchen door and flee? (I thought if I moved through the space of the half-orc, with the dwarves on each side of him I would be past all 3?)
Seeing his diminutive companion begin to square off with the guards, Lucian just shakes his head in disbelief. "Well, six against three is too much for me. Good luck there, Champ." He turns to the guards, "I think he was dropped on his head as a youngster. Go easy on him, will ya?"

Leo you're placed in manacles and brought down to see Lucian being taken through the tavern out into the front. You see no other party members however in the tavern.
Lucian and Leo are with three guards plus the captain.
"We'll get to the bottom of this Grissom but I'm afraid Kay will remain in our custody as well. The boy has got a few warrants out for himself too. Petty stuff but I have to hold him to get to the bottom of it. It was a good deed telling us about this scum," the half-orc says gesturing at both Leo and Lucian its plain enough for Lucian and Leo to hear.
"There were six of them in total. The two you brought through here, one was a devil, there was a human, a halfling, a elf, and a half-orc Fields. I hope you catch them all," Grissom explains as the half-orc Captain nods.
"I'll put the word out. I'll also send a page when I know what's what," Captain Fields adds before leading out into the street it's still midday but it's gray outside.
People look at you curiously but none of them dare intervene. Once outside you see a wagon that's got a large cage on the back. You both are placed inside and the Captain, as well as the three other guards, await the dwarves to recover Ranlin.
Dekket and Coltra in your alley you've seen and heard what happened to your three other party members. Do you remain in hiding, help free them somehow, or return to the guild by the docks through the Silver Sails? You know of no other way in!
Lucian gives a weak chuckle, and when they're place in the paddy wagon he says to Leo in a quiet voice so as not to be heard by the guards, "Heh... A great start to our new employment, wouldn't you say?"
Dekket peeks around the corner and sees the wagn and, while he doesn’t see the other members of their little group he assumes the worst.
He didn’t know about Coltra either who was trying to get a better loook disguised thanks to his magic.
Unless he had retcon and I didn’t see it in wich case I am sorry.
“Do I have to do all by myself?”
He tries to see how many people are in the bridge of the wagon, and how many guards are near it. So he makes sure the hood is well placed and he steps outside of the ally, taking just a couple of steps to have a clear line of sight.
Perception: 21
Can the guards jump into the wagon too or the whole rear part is for prisioners?
A plan was forming in his head but he will need to remember were the prison where they are going about to be taken was.
WIS or INT check to remember this? I have the same bonus on both so... it doesn’t matter ;)

My idea, if the guards have to walk alongside the wagon or even if they stand at the inn looking for more suspects, he will intercept the wagon just one or two streets away, will cast Thaumaturgy to spookthe horses, jump into the bridge of the wagon, knock the driver, kick-off any other and flee with the wagon.
The first misses but the second hits. The dwarves then pursue Ranlin one blowing a horn to announce to ALL City Guard in the area they are looking for someone as the other shouts, "the halfling someone top that halfling," as he and his companions follow after Ranlin.
Leaving the area of combat initiative has ended.
Ranlin turns the corner of the back alley into the street...runs smack into a squad of City Guards. They've heard the horn and as you're running at full tilt they all work together to try to grab you and with four sets of hands, you are taken into custody.
Ranlin is carried back towards the blowing horn as the four guards meet up with the Dwarves who cuff you in manacles, feet and hands, that connect with a chain. They then toss you in the cage with Leo and Lucian. You've got a lump on the back of your head where the guard landed his blow. The Captain shakes everyone's hands and the lot of watch as the six guards plus the Captain assemble around the cart.
Dekket and Coltra see now three of their party members are locked up and the wagon move away towards the inner city away from the docklands behind. There are now 6 guards, plus the Captain, and the driver all together there are 8 in total. The guards walk beside the wagon on all sides two on the sides, two behind while the Captain walks in front with the horses. The wagon is made to transport not for speed. The horses are heavy war-like horses trained for the work.
"Ok, so how about this, there is a bar a little bit closer to the docks which does the finest breakfast I've ever had, let's just mark this off as a bad day and look for some more friends in the morning, what do you say?" Not giving Dekket a chance to answer he continues "No, we don't know if they'd still be serving breakfast at this time, not worth the risk, we might as well try and save the others. So, I was thinking about this while we waited, if I used magic to disguise myself then I run up to them claiming to have seen someone being killed down an alleyway the captain would have to send his men after it, maybe then we could somehow get the driver out of the way and free the others and be gone before they realised they'd been tricked. Worth a try?"
Upon hearing the horn of the city watch calling for aid followed by cries to stop a halfling, Lucian smiles to himself. "Gotta give it to him... Our Champ sure is persistent."
