Sylelor ends up going to Phineas and Siobhan's table - Been a while since I Saw you Phineas, I ser you haven't started to behave properly, that's just one of the reasons you'll never could beat me, you are always distracted with nonsense - says as she grabs a chair and eat a couple of cherrys, rapidly discarding the stems.
Phineas still lounging on the floor looks up at Sylelor upside down (from her perspective), "oh that was you then Sylelor... I wasn't sure. So you've come to play with us after all have you? Good... but I have no idea what you are referring to... for an alley cat I feel that I am extremely well behaved, I am what I am... whereas I suppose from the perspective of kept pampered house cats such as yourself and our dear Siobhan here I can see where you both would share such an opinion. And... true enough, you always win those games you care to play... but some of us are not so fortunate to be a daddy's girl and cherry-pick our way through life's little games... instead we play the cards that we are dealt!"
The jester giggles and smiles still staring up at the ceiling... "Siobhan, have you met Sylelor? If not do be careful, for a house cat, she is a kitty with sharp claws and even sharper wit with a taste for sewer rats... but I adore her all the same."
Phineas suddenly springs up to her feet and moves to Sylelor... Phineas pressing her cheek against Sylelor's cheek and gives her a proper sisterlyGoblin Kiss as welcome. "How have you been Sylelor... you seem a little bored, perhaps you just need more distractions in your life?"
Siobhan lets out a sigh as she nods to the other half elf, waving to passing barmaid to get her another round of wine. "I would say it is nice to mert you but I am not so sure if I can since I do not know how you know her." She says, shooting a look towards Phineas as she wstched the jester closely for any signs of whst strange thing she will do next.
Roger: As the competition is happening you overhear several bets taking place. This is a wager many people are interested in. One in particular catches your eye, a black dragonborn places a solid 3 dragons(gp) on Yagra Stonefist, but her dwarf companion seems to be quite inebriated and happy to play all her bets on Dolar. Double them even. And when Dolar wins, the dragonborn is sighing and handing over six gold coins to the dwarf. (You can make a sleight of hand check to see if you can take those coins.)
You also catch sight of a group of 5 humans at one table glaring in Yagra's direction and talking quietly amongst each other, behind their mugs.
Sylelor: "She's not worth our time."Krebbyg mutters, smacking Fel'rekt on the shoulder and turning to leave.
Fel'rekt nods to her. "Your position is duly noted." He pauses and then adds, against his better judgement and certainly against Krebbyg's, "Your father was a man bent on revenge. In my experience that never goes well. Though for what its worth, I hope he's out there somewhere." He dips his head one more time and leaves.
Phineas and Siobhan: As soon as Phineas starts touching Nico he tenses. "Um, I have, uh, a, uh girlfriend. Um thanks." He moves to gently push her away, and is relieved when she goes and sits back down. "A girlfriend I should probably be getting back to."Jalester gives Nico and understanding look as he gets up, otherwise he'll kind of sit back and keep an eye on things to make sure they don't get too out of hand, or that he doesn't need to piggy-back a drunk sergeant home.
(Anyone who wants to successfully tie a cherry stem in a knot with their tongue can succeed on a dc12 Dex or performance check you can choose.)

This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Drunk dwarves are some of Roger's favorite marks. He skirts around through the crowd, bumping into patrons here and there as they're dissipating, and makes his way to the newly-rich dwarf to test his luck. More than being caught by his mark, he's a bit worried about being spotted by her much larger, much more frightening friend, so he positions himself accordingly, walking past from behind the dragonborn to make his pass on the dwarf's purse.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Roger:
Perception Dwarf: 1218 Perception Dragonborn: 120
Unfortunately the dwarf, always aware of her money, is more on the ball than she seems. She feels the intrusion on her purse and and turns to try and grab your arm. "Don't ye dare, thief."
But unfortunately for her, and possibly fortunately for you chaos is about to break loose.
Everyone: Krentz downs the last of his mug glaring daggers in the direction of all the celebrating. For him today is a day of mourning, and these ******** are all happy. Including her. And that he can't stand for, not right now. Not after today. He looks down at his now empty mug, and in a moment of clear rage grabs it and hurls it across the room at one Yagra Stonefist.
The mug hits her in the side of the head, and he stands so she knows exactly who did it. "You *****! Think killing my friends is fun, do you? Well, we'll show you fun." C'mon boys." The bald man, tottoos of eyes covering his head leaps over the table.
(If you're going to jump into combat, roll initiative and wait for your initiative turn to come around. I'll go for a round of reactions (non-combat) before posting again. And I'm about to head to my dnd game, so it'll be a little whiel before my next post.)

That solid hand on his arm is enough to loose his fingers from the purse. As always, Roger's first instinct is to backpedal and try to talk his way out of it. "Thief? No, sorry, I wasn't trying to steal anything," he begins, with absolutely no idea where this particular backwards pedal is taking him. Luckily, he doesn't really have to find out.
The outburst from Krentz catches his attention, and he hopes like hell it caught the dwarf's attention too, because he's trying to break free from her grip and disappear into the crowd while she might be distracted.

DOLAR
Dolar roars as he sees this insult against Yagra take place. Still burning with Rage, he begins shoving his way out of the crowd to come to Yagra's aid. Initiative: 7
(On his way to Yagra, he'll recover his Greataxe at the table and equip it. If I need to burn my first action to do that, I'm fine with that.)
Looking to Jalester with quickly, Siobhan quickly jumpsto her feet as she slams her fist on the table in attempt to get the attention of the people in the bar. "By the order of the City Watch cease at once unless all of you fancy soending the night in jail or worse!" She yells as loudly as her voice allows.
Intimidation: 3
Sadly her voice is unable to be heard over the yelling of the others..... so cursing she readies herself for a fight if she has to.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Alrighty.
Roger: Strength:19 . The Dwarf woman manages to hold on to you, though she is distracted by the fight that appears to be breaking out. Roll a deception check with advantage to see if you can convince her you werent' trying to steal.
See the map below for positioning. Phineas you are up first. The dark red is the man who threw the mug at Yagra. I'll update the map after each round of combat.
Nobody seems to hear the cry of the City Watch, many spoiling for a fight. Those who had been around Dolar and Yagra immediately back up as Yagra clenches her fist.

Seeing that the commotion isn't stopping, Jalester's going to stand quickly, knocking his chair back and go rushing toward Yagra the victim to see if he can stop her before things get out of hand. Using his action to dash he can get just a little behind the half-orc woman.
"Ms. Stonefist, ignore them. It's not worth it." Persuasion: 3
Yagra waves a hand at the captain, not even hearing him, her focus on the man who attacked her. "Maybe if you weren't such animals." She snarls back, and runs to attack, pulling her mace from its spot at her belt. She makes two swings at Krentz. Attack:219
The first misses, but the second lands, knocking him in the chest for6 damage.
"All will become equal now" | "Cause we're going to shout it loud, even if our words seem meaningless. It's like we're carrying the weight of the world"
Siobhan draws her shortsword as she moves to back up Jalester, stopping when she sess that the half orc attack Krentz. "Soip before I am forced to use force to end this fight!"
After speaking she will hold her attack action until Krentz does something, if he attacks Yagra she will react if he is in range of her.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Of course it wouldn't be that easy. She can practically close her hand around Roger's entire arm, he should have stuck with trying to talk his way out. He's typically much better at that.
Back to Plan A, then. One way or another, he wants to get away from here and duck back behind the stairs until the fight's over.
"You misunderstand me, lady. I only jostled you in passing. My mistake, but I certainly didn't steal anything." He hopes that the seed of truth in the statement (after all, he didn't steal anything, having been caught) rings through in his voice and innocent expression.

DOLAR
After recovering his Greataxe from the table on the way to Yagra, the raging Dolar will move right into Yagra's right flank and wait to Intimidate any one of the thugs that move within 5ft of him.
Intimidation: 12
Dolar roars at the approaching thug, then yells "DO NOT INTERFERE!"
Dolar is vaguely familiar with Waterdeep's laws, but he respects Yagra's right to defend herself vs. Krentz and will ensure the brawl stays 1v1. However, considering he's still raging, it's entirely possible he loses his cool if unable to keep the rest of the thugs in place.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Roger: Things are really starting to get heated in this brawl, and the dwarf woman half hears the response, paying more attention to the action. After watching the Half-orc lunge at the tattooed man with a mace she nearly forgets what Roger was there for anyway. "What, yeah sure," she says, letting him go, and turning her full attention on the fight.
Krentz shakes off the hit from Yagra, and unsheaths his scimitar. "This is for Horus ye' pig!" He swings the blade expertly making two attacks against her. Attack: 1810
Yagra dodges the first strike, ducking away from the blade but the second one catches her across the arm, drawing a line of blood for4 damage.
Siobhan you can get within melee range of Krentz if you bonus action dashed on your turn. His attacking Yagra would trigger your attack.Dolar, as you are next in the initiative your turn, will have happened after Siobhan's attack but at least two of the thugs seem hesitant to come forward. The other two don't look as scared. (You also have about 4 rounds left of your rage since you were raging prior to battle and it only lasts one minute)
