Ash stand quickly, knocking over his chair at Halda's table, and hurries towards the exit shouting "Stop her!" He pulls his shortbow and hopes he has a clear shot of the runaway. He also hopes for a nonlethal shot.
Shortbow attack: 23 to hit (same if at disadvantage: rolled nat 20 for second roll); 8 piercing damage
For a bonus action, he'll try to calm the crowd so they don't cause more harm or panic, hopefully intimidating them to listen. "Stay where you are or you'll be next! We need to sort this out."
Intimidation: 9 (or 18 with advantage if the shortbow hit helps)
Ash's arrow flies through the crowded exit and strikes true, hitting the fleeing dwarf woman in the shoulder, dropping her to the ground. It may have been the best shot of your life to this point.
The disquieted crowd stops where they are. A few who had made it to the door do exit and run, but the rest eye you with fear and suspicion.
The blue energy continues to crackle around Schuyler.
Badger's eyes widen at Ash attacking a commoner. "Ash!" he scolds. The blue energy crackles, pulling Clive back to the immediate problem. Now that the energy is affecting someone other than Yanna, he pulls off K's cloak and grabs the magic item. Does he know what it is?
Outside of Madame Freona's Tea Kettle is a commercial district of Neverwinter. There are plenty of passersby of varying degrees of trustworthy faces, however trustworthy they really are. She'd be as safe as anyone laying unconscious in a busy marketplace at dusk.
Kristofferson: To get out there, you needed to Dash, and any additional action was taken by the medicine check. You can pick her up and start to drag, but you've not moved her at all yet.
The electrical energy jumps from Schuyler to Surruk. Schuyler remains unconscious on the floor. Surruk shrieks and falls to floor, convulsing from pain as blue crackling energy darts around her.
The diner patrons start to stir, but look at Ash, unsure of which is a greater threat. They retain their positions throughout the tavern.
Then, the unconscious Yanna gets to his feet. His eyes remain closed, his face inert, but he walks towards the exit of the tavern. Tavern patrons scurry out of the way as Yanna exits.
Yes, there were patrons standing nearer to Schuyler than Surruk, including Ash and Badger. The lightning started with Yanna, jumped south about 15ft to Schuyler, then jumped about 25ft north-northwest to Surruk.
Badger thinks what Yanna, Schuyler, and Surruk had in common, but all he can come up with is that they were suspects of Sildar Hallwinter. Is Hallwinter back yet?
Sildar is still elsewhere, presumably with Madame Freona, who is also not visible. Blaizette has since come into the tavern from the kitchen, but has been letting the Quote Unquote Fantastic take the lead. She isn't sure what she can do to help.
The suspect nearest Surruk is Tine, one of the motley-dressed halflings.
Ash stand quickly, knocking over his chair at Halda's table, and hurries towards the exit shouting "Stop her!" He pulls his shortbow and hopes he has a clear shot of the runaway. He also hopes for a nonlethal shot.

Badger, make a strength check to see if you can pull the item from Yanna's grip.
Also make a nature check to see if you know anything about it.
Badger strength check: 17
Badger nature check: 17
Badger successfully pulls the item from Yanna's grip, and you can see that it is, in fact, a tooth from a blue dragon. You do take 3 lightning damage.
Badger yowls from the pain, then shares with his party what he's learned.
Kristofferson pulls back on his cloak and dashes to the dwarven woman. If able, he checks on her condition; is she conscious, unconscious, or dead?
If necessary, medicine check: 22 (nat 20)
The dwarven woman is alive and unconscious. Provided no healing occurs, she will awaken in 2 hours.
Kristofferson wonders: Are there any trustworthy passersby, or is she safe here?
Outside of Madame Freona's Tea Kettle is a commercial district of Neverwinter. There are plenty of passersby of varying degrees of trustworthy faces, however trustworthy they really are. She'd be as safe as anyone laying unconscious in a busy marketplace at dusk.
K will use any action he has left to start dragging her back into the tavern.
Kristofferson: To get out there, you needed to Dash, and any additional action was taken by the medicine check. You can pick her up and start to drag, but you've not moved her at all yet.

Then, the unconscious Yanna gets to his feet. His eyes remain closed, his face inert, but he walks towards the exit of the tavern. Tavern patrons scurry out of the way as Yanna exits.
Ash, what would you like to do?
Ash wonders if there were other patrons between the three that have been struck by the blue lightning? Is it attacking in a line, or something else?
Yes, there were patrons standing nearer to Schuyler than Surruk, including Ash and Badger. The lightning started with Yanna, jumped south about 15ft to Schuyler, then jumped about 25ft north-northwest to Surruk.
Ash hurries to Yanna and grapples him. "Badger, who do you think is next!? How do we stop it?"
Athletics check: 14
Ash, you successfully stop Yanna from moving further (he is grappled by you), but you take 1 lightning damage.
Badger, what would you like to do?
Badger thinks what Yanna, Schuyler, and Surruk had in common, but all he can come up with is that they were suspects of Sildar Hallwinter. Is Hallwinter back yet?
He looks for the nearest suspect; who is it?
Sildar is still elsewhere, presumably with Madame Freona, who is also not visible. Blaizette has since come into the tavern from the kitchen, but has been letting the Quote Unquote Fantastic take the lead. She isn't sure what she can do to help.
The suspect nearest Surruk is Tine, one of the motley-dressed halflings.
Badger calls to Blaizette, "Go! Get your mother!"
He then goes to the halfling trio and whispers to them, "I suggest the three of you leave the tavern immediately. You might be in danger."
