(got ya, I just didn't know since I rolled a 21 on initiative if they would be all be going in the first round of combat if I would get a chance to attack mr. fancy pants or not)
(Hey, I hate this guy as much as you do. Discarding conventional initiative doesn't mean you can't hurl a rock in his face or something. And Atlas still gets his surprise attack.)
(no problem :D I just wanted to make sure I knew what was going on so I didn't try to do something I couldn't do. I enjoy envisioning shiv covered in guards... I like to think that if the guards are dogpiling him they cannot be beating up innocent people..)
"I think we can come to an arrangement. How about the four of us drop the watchmen status and the two that aren't present continue the ruse"Tak counters.
As the tiefling ponders Tak will add, "Look if we all quit they're going to send guards to attack the shipment that they know about anyway. At least if the two who we planned to go to the watch briefing say we're all good there won't be additional guards to deal with."
Lazarus considers this proposal. "Agreed." With a wave of his pale hand the gathered thugs disparse. "As a precaution, your friend Locke will be held here until you have successfully commited the heist. " With that the tiefling strides back into the Frowning Jester, two bouncers dragging the hapless Locke after him.
Night has fallen and the moon illuminates the scene with a ghostly brilliance. Your rendezvous with destiny approaches.
"Ye bloody great idiot!" The man screams in a combination of fear and rage. " A'right! A'right! Stand down! " His orders were scarcely necessary, however. nearly every protester lies in a pool of their own blood, unconscious or worse. "Release me and you and your friend can walk away now. " The captain whispers, his face turning a ghastly green. "But know this: you are hereby stripped of your insignias and cast out of the Watch under charges of insubordination and treason to your country! "
"That is incorrect" He begins to walk "You are hearby placed under arrest for gross abuse of power and battering civilians. I will bring you to Witherwick. Shiv...." He looks to the now-freed Viashino "Let us bring him in"
Shiv will stand up, dusting himself off while thrashing his barbed tail around wildly to get a little space between himself and the other members of the watch. "Sounds good to me!"The Viashino will say to the warforged with a nod and toothy grin before turning around to the other members of the watch. "You all should be ashamed of yourselves! You took an oath to protect the people of this city... and this is how you do it!" the viashino will say pointing a scimitar towards the sea of injured townspeople. "Get your asses over there and start bandaging those people or I swear each of you will be charged with assult and murder if any of them die because you were all far to eager to listen to his jerk instead of standing up for what is right." Shiv will say as his normally green scales nearly turn red with anger.
A few Watchmen sullenly turn to the task of assisting the fallen but many of them ignore the viashno entirely. The facebof the man in Atlas's arms is now the color of a wilted cabbage.
"You see that warforged... ya know.. the one built to crush skulls with his bare hands... well he can also log pictures of each of your faces into his mind and you will be punished if you do not help those men!" The viashino will say before turning towards Atlas and whispering "we need to get out of here and get to Whitherwick fast!"
Jevyn bowed as Lazarus and company departed. "We're going to have to come up with a good explanation for why we're breaking off from the Watch. We should probably stick to the technical truth. I'm thinking that we say 'Our previous employer is offering to pay us much more than you, and they insist on us completing this job.' It's not a perfect excuse, but it's what I've got right now."

"Who says we are? We'll do whatever is smartest for us. We owe no one any loyalty." Leaves replied gruffly, straightening the feathers that had been ruffled by the goons.

OOC: I uh...don't know if it's my turn or not but...
Atlas, enraged at the constant disregard for law and decency, pushes forward and will attempt to grapple the guy giving the orders
Athletics: 18
If successful, he'll lift that person up to his metal face and say "Tell your men to stand down!"
(Yup, you were up!)

"Technically, I never joined the watch in the first place. Anyway I'm keeping the badge." Leaves commented as the criminals departed.
"Right, let's get out of here? Destiny approaches and all that..."

If they can move undisturbed, Atlas will march this Watch Officer over to Whitherwick's station.
