"That's the issue. One of the Watch members got away with it. We were going to go in and collect it today, but since you've been so hasty to come after us, we haven't had the chance." Jevyn maintained eye contact with Lazarus as he said this, Esme slipping over to the door.

Lazarus locks eyes with Jevyn. "Search their rooms." He orders the bandits at the top of the staircase. "And search them." He commands the two thugs, who readily comply. One grabs Tak roughly, and second reaches for Shiv.
Shiv will turn his body the best he can to face towards the thugs and away from Tak "Hey, let go! you are going make me drop my chicken!" Shiv will shout as he pulls out the cursed item from inside his vest, allowing the cloth to fall off of it while the viashino closes his eyes tightly. Holding the object out in front of him but hopefully not in the view of Tak.
Lazarus is no fool, and he closes his eyes just in time. The two thugs are not so lucky, and their horrific screams echo through the inn. A bandit reappears at the top of the staircase to investigate the commotion, and he too joins his companions in the afterlife.
Still covering his eyes with one hand, Lazarus stumbles away. "This isn't the end!" He hisses, groping for the door and slamming it shut behind him.
Len rushes into the room, carrying a rusted mace. "What in the name of-" He stops abruptly when he notices the two bodies on the floor.

Feeling the guard release his grasp Tak would yell "Put it away Shiv and Len shut your eyes!" Tak would then wildshape into a brown bear and with his eyes still shut sniff for Lazarus' location.
The moment shiv hears the bodies hit the ground he would tuck the item back into his jacket (what does it feel like? a body part, a rock, something alive?) "Let's chase him down before leaving town!" The viashino would yell before taking off after Lazarus.
Tak follows Lazarus' scent trail through the streets of The God's Hope. Pedstrians dive for safety as he lumbers past, and soon he has trapped the albino tiefling in an alley which dead-ends at a brick wall. The tiefling claps ironically.
Jevyn picked up Esme off the ground as everyone rushed out of the room, keeping his eyes closed until Shiv gave the all-clear. "Seabeak, catch! I'll join you in a second." Jevyn tossed the lizard to Leaves, stopping to explain something to Len. "We've gotten into a bit of a mess with the underworld and the Watch. I promise we'll reimburse you for any damage they caused. And would you mind keeping an eye on that one? We're going to need him later."Jevyn points at the Cazanarro guild member before chasing off after everyone else, using Esme's eyes and ears to find Leaves.
(Only an hour or so. We can assume that Shiv has the chest hidden under his vest.)

Lazarus looks bored. "I'm tired of playing your games, hobgoblin. Tell me where the chest is and we will return Locke to you unharmed."

Shiv will try to move his hand into his vest and grab the object from the vest while on the ground, very slowly....

Lazarus considers this. "In that case you have still failed, and Locke remains in our custody."

"So far. We haven't executed our plan to retake the package yet."
Lazarus locks eyes with Jevyn. "Search their rooms." He orders the bandits at the top of the staircase. "And search them." He commands the two thugs, who readily comply. One grabs Tak roughly, and second reaches for Shiv.

(DM question: Would Tak have access to Wildshape now that he's level 2 or just the extra spell slot?)
Shiv will turn his body the best he can to face towards the thugs and away from Tak "Hey, let go! you are going make me drop my chicken!" Shiv will shout as he pulls out the cursed item from inside his vest, allowing the cloth to fall off of it while the viashino closes his eyes tightly. Holding the object out in front of him but hopefully not in the view of Tak.
Tak seeing Shiv move his hands towards his cloak would know to shut his eyes especially with the previous telepathic conversation.
(Tak has Wild Shape.)

The moment shiv hears the bodies hit the ground he would tuck the item back into his jacket (what does it feel like? a body part, a rock, something alive?) "Let's chase him down before leaving town!" The viashino would yell before taking off after Lazarus.
Shiv, the item feels dry and shriveled, but similar in shape to a humanoid appendage.
Tak, Lazarus's scent trail leads to the door of the inn. At this point you notice the Cazanarro bandit huddled in the corner.
"What in the name of Lathander is going on here!" Len roars.

Tak motions Shiv to hop on his back and takes off after Lazarus.
Action: Leaves also follows Lazarus, trying to head off his likely escape routes and remain unseen.
"We killed some bad guys you are welcome! City watch business coming through!!!" Shiv would yell as he ran past Len and jumped on Tak's back
Tak follows Lazarus' scent trail through the streets of The God's Hope. Pedstrians dive for safety as he lumbers past, and soon he has trapped the albino tiefling in an alley which dead-ends at a brick wall. The tiefling claps ironically.
"Bravo, bravo."

Len only stares, dumbfounded, as Jevyn sprints out of the inn.
