Amon can attack Gilded but if he does so the guards and Jess will most likely roll initiative and join in on the fight as well. But you can attack while grappled but may be a bit dangerous in the moment.
With Amon's passive perception he see's Jess and Gilded are badly hurt but Gilded is HEAVILY armored. There are a total of 6 guards, no special insignia's or high ranking officiers but that is 2 wounded adventurers and 6 grunts.
OOC Just to let you know, grappled Amon can still attack he just can't move. So he can choose to attack Jess if she gets in Melee distance. However if Amon does so that will cause a massive combat but as a DM just wanted to warn you it's a possibility ^^
Jess recognizes that risk but she wants to help Gilded and the guards, get on the guards' good side. She won't frisk the fairy if he looks like he might stab her. But she will still talk to him.
Assessing the situation, the fairy stops struggling, realizing the possibility of a fight breaking out is higher than he would like. "Fine," he sighs, admitting defeat. He squints his eyes eith a fair measure of disdain towards the newcomer. "What do you want?"

Jess takes the risk of coming into melee range even in her wounded condition. However Amon realizes the situation appears a bit dire allowing Jess to frisk him for now. As she does so she is able to (with her passive perception and passive investigation both being decent.) quickly determine the amount of gold that had been stolen. The thief had taken 500 gold pieces!
"Whoa! Nice work sir dragonborn! He escaped us earlier.. You were so quick! And that grapple! I'd.. I'd love to learn that technique if you'd be willing to teach me sometime!"
"Smith! Now's not the time! Thank you ser, so miss what did he have on him?" Two of the guards ask while coming closer to the three of them.
One of the guards had grabbed the rather massive amount of gold with a sigh of relief.
"Glazing Wind's barely gets by as is.. This.. We are truly in you're debt thank you.. Both of you truly. Shall we take him to the commander? Or perhaps to Gwen mam?"
Gilded will stand with the thief, holding onto his arms as he does so. If he has any weapons, Gilded will take them. "We really do not mean you harm little dude, so just chill and it will all work out." Gilded looks at the guard interested in his grapple. "Have you ever heard of Iroas? Maybe we could discuss how he helps me" Gilded goes on a bit about how being a paladin would help the young soldier if he were but ready to take the oath......... blah blah, blah...
Drezmir gives a nervous chuckle, “Oh, we had some disagreements concerning…Let’s just say a couple of us were more willing to keep the fencers alive then others were. Gilded also wasn’t to keen on working with Robin, but I think he’s coming around…maybe. But don’t worry, everything was sorted out.”
Speaking of Robin, that reminded him about what had happened, “Oh, and that reminds me…” Drezmir explains to Gwen what Simon did to Robin, and how Robin managed not to give in to whatever hold Simon had over him. “Still, I don’t know if Simon is still watching through Robin’s eyes. It would probably be in his best interest to see someone to have that…curse removed…if it is still in effect anyways.”
As they walk, he tries not to look at the corpses around him. He’d long ago become desensitized to death, but he had never seen anything this close to a battlefield before.
Corvus frowns when he sees the bag of gold. Why in Fractum did they leave that sitting in the open? They know there’s a thief running about! Leaving it there was just begging for it to be stolen. Walking over to it, he grabs it, then continues looking for the others.
“It’s true. We hid those we captured to spare them from some of our… more zealous companions. Hopefully a bit of mercy will rub off on some of them.” Kocino suddenly remembers, “Drez, who do you reckon is the best hunter of the group?”
The guard looks to Gilded, shaking his head on hearing of such a god but appearing rather interested in this oath that Gilded brings up.
"I see I see.. I'll have to give that a try!"
Gwen looks to Drezmir and nods with a nervous chuckle.
"Oh? I didn't realize some of you were more keen on blood, though.. I have seen Corvus sneaking a few gold pieces past you guys before. Had I chance to tell you before? It makes me a bit.. Weary of his character. How has he been? Ahh, I could understand Gilded struggling to trust Robin. I had my doubts at first but he isn't so bad really."
Gwen looks to Drezmir explain how Robin had fought Simon before. How a curse was planted on him. She falls dead silent for a moment.
"Drezmir... If Robin's fought him before and his memory was wiped... Simon seemed a step ahead of us. How had the guards caught onto to our whispering and scheming? Remember? How we were ambushed? I know the others thought guards overheard us.. I thought the same too but.. Drezmir doesn't it sound more likely he was keeping tabs on you through me too? That I have no memory of it?"
Gwen looks to the ground and sighs.
"I'm sure that's the case.. Perhaps some of you can help me with this? Not that Simon can do much with our knowledge now. Losing the trust of his guards, he's powerful sure but by himself and contained he won't be nearly as dangerous."
Corvus grab's Simon's personal funds on the table, it was about 700 gold! In the bag was a note. It described how Simon was saving up to donate this money to Glazing Wind's local business's. Vex looks to see that it is now the afternoon but not quite nighttime yet. Gwen hears Kocino talk of mercy running in the group. Her face grows a bit with concern.
"Ahh, I see... I'd be a fool not to ask but.. Simon. The fact you've spared him.. Had this caused a lot of strife among you? Like the fencers before?"
Back with the thief and Gilded the guards begin to look for the commander. (If Jess and Gilded will follow anyhow.) Gilded takes Amon's weapons as they hold the fairy in custody.
OOC I remember Jess/Todd wondering how the guards overheard them before ^^ I couldn't say anything at the time cause spoilers but at that moment as a DM I had to bite my tongue so hard. Sometimes in mysteries stuff might not make sense right away though.
Corvus will take 200 coins out of the bag and put them in his purse. If the note says anything about how much money was in it, he will stash that away as well, if it does not, he will hold onto it. Carrying the bag of gold in his left hand, (it would be somewhat hidden in his sleeve) he continues to look for the group.
(Does he know where Gwen and Drezmir went? If so he will head their way. He'd like to avoid Gilded for as long as possible. If he doesn't know where they went, he will make his way towards the others... assuming he knows where they went either. If he doesn't know where any of them went, he will head out of the mansion.)
(OOC: Vex, where are you right now? Did you go with Gilded and Jess, or are you with Drez and Kocino? Sorry if I missed it!)
"The best hunter?" Drezmir turns to Kocino. "I'd say...probably Jess, she seems like the type. I've actually got some skills in that regard as well, but I wouldn't say it makes me the best. Why?"
He listens quietly as Gwen speaks of Corvus, "Really? Huh, well, I can't say I ever suspected him. He's a quiet one for sure...and a little self centered. However, he did give me a healing potion when he saw I needed it, and Vex too for that matter. If not for Corvus Vex would be dead...and I'm not sure we would have won the fight against Simon..."
He gives her a concerned look when she goes quiet, then listens silently as she speaks...He hadn't even considered that Simon would do something like that to her...yet it seemed so obvious now thinking back. Still...Simon seemed like he still cared about Gwen to some extent....could he really do something like that to his own sister?
"I...don't know Gwen," he says after a moment's pause. "I can't say that doesn't make sense...I just never really considered it." He lets out a breath, "I honestly don't know if anyone in our group can help you or Robin with this issue. Perhaps Gilded or Jess, they might be able to help... I wish I was better at healing, and curing curses." He hesitates, running a hand down his arm and then once more pulling his sleeve over the black ring on his wrist, "All I can do is inflict one...and only on the dead for that matter. I... I also must admit that I'm dealing with...well I don't really know what to call it, but it isn't something I ever expected to happen. To be honest, I feel like I might be just as much of a threat to everyone as you and Robin could be...more even if it gets worse." He shakes his head, and almost says more--but instead he just looks away.
When she asks about them sparing Simon he says slowly, "I won't lie and say the vote was in his favor. There were three votes in favor of killing him, two for not, and one abstained. I managed to convince Jess to hold off for a while, hoping that I could find you or some of your men to see if there was anything they wanted to do with him...but I'll just say I'm glad you and those guards got there when you did."
Jess initiative 8
Jess hurries forward, patting the dragonborn on the arm while saying, "Hold him tight, Gilded, he looks quite slippery."
She casts guidance on Gilded. When she can, she'd like to frisk the fairy and find the source of his jingling.
OOC
So Gilded performs the Grapple successfully!
Amon can attack Gilded but if he does so the guards and Jess will most likely roll initiative and join in on the fight as well. But you can attack while grappled but may be a bit dangerous in the moment.
With Amon's passive perception he see's Jess and Gilded are badly hurt but Gilded is HEAVILY armored. There are a total of 6 guards, no special insignia's or high ranking officiers but that is 2 wounded adventurers and 6 grunts.

Do you still wish to frisk Amon?
Jess would also like to study the fairy and talk to him.
"Surrender, and you shall be dealt with fairly. No harm shall come to you, I promise."
Jess recognizes that risk but she wants to help Gilded and the guards, get on the guards' good side. She won't frisk the fairy if he looks like he might stab her. But she will still talk to him.
Assessing the situation, the fairy stops struggling, realizing the possibility of a fight breaking out is higher than he would like. "Fine," he sighs, admitting defeat. He squints his eyes eith a fair measure of disdain towards the newcomer. "What do you want?"

"We'd like that money back. It's for the town of Glazing Winds and its sustenance."
Jess remains in melee range.

Jess will hand over the 500 gold to the guards.
"Good sirs, I found this on his person. I presume these are the missing funds you were worried about?"
One of the guards had grabbed the rather massive amount of gold with a sigh of relief.

Vex stands, knowing what will happen soon. He does not tell the others, for it is destiny. He looks about, and asks if it is night.
