Ira goes first! Standobras throws his shoulder into the door and it pops open. Just as Gaz described, you see four avian humanoids squawk in surprise and go for their weapons. There are many crates in this room that you could take cover behind if you wanted.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
From the hiding place by the door Ira pops her head into the room taking aim at one of the feathered fiends, [Light Crossbow: 19]. If her bolt hits she ducks back outside behind Standobras and Aegis, hoping that the Kenku didn't notice her. [Damage: 5]
Ira's bolt hits one of the Kenku right in the neck and it screeches- still standing but very wounded. The Kenku definitely know you are there, but you have taken cover so they can't currently see you.
Standobras draws his swordcane and advances on the Kenku that Ira wounded.
Attack: 13 dealing 9 piercing damage. The Kenku is barely on its feet.
Corrected initiative:
Ira, Standobras, Game, Gaz, Aegis, Kenku
Game is up! He is currently hidden from all four of the Kenku. One of them has been badly wounded, but the other three are at full health.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Game would watch his companions charge in and the first two attacks strike a single Kenku. The thing was barely standing, and his advantage of higher ground and surprise would be wasted on it. He switched aim for another Kenku and let loose a bolt from his Light Crossbow. Aiming to disable the Kenku rather then straight up kill the thing.
Attack:18 (Rolled with advantage due to hiding, but if seen take first roll?)
Game pops out of hiding as one of the Kenku nearly drops to the ground with a crossbow bolt to the back of the knee.
It's Gaz's turn next. Kenku #1 is very wounded and Kenku #2 isn't looking much better. Kenkus #3 & #4 are at full health but starting to look a bit panicked at this sudden onslaught.

Gaz will move to kenku #1 hoping to knock them out with a headbutt right where the face connects to the beak Attack: 25 Damage: 7 if that manages to knock the kenku out he'll continue to #2 and go low with a kick to the side of the knee if not he'll continue on the first one Attack: 11 Damage: 7
Knowing the rules of the city, as they were programmed into them. Aegis’ right arm will invert, the globule of alchemist’s fire forming at the end, and they’ll fire at an uninjured Kenku.

Unable to parse dice roll.
Whether they hit or not Aegis’ voice will distort, sounding like they’re speaking through a bullhorn.
“Stop where you are. We have you surrounded. The Watchful Order commands you!”
Gaz swiftly runs in, headbutting one Kenku which collapses unconcious on the ground. He then darts over to the other injured Kenku and kicks it in it's already injured knee. The Kenku lets out a yelp of pain and collapses (He's at 0hp, but with all these leg injuries we'll say he's conscious but completely incapacitated.)
Aegis launches a fire bolt that just hits a third Kenku, singeing its feathers.
Quailing at Aegis' threat and seeing two of their number downed, the two remaining Kenku throw down their shortswords and lift their hands in surrender.
And we are out of combat!

A second globule of alchemist’s fire begins to form at the end of Aegis’ arm as they approach the Kenku carefully, kicking aside the arms.
”You are going to answer several questions which I will ask you right now. Who do you work for? Why did you kill these men? And where did the Neverember son go?
The Kenku, who seem pretty terrified of the mechanical man spouting fire, shuffle and squawk for a moment. Then one of them says, in a deep voice with an orcish accent, "Xanathar sends its regards." And immediately after that in the same voice, "Zentarim scum!" It then says, in a thin nasally voice, "Tie up the pretty boy in the back room and bring him! Follow the yellow marks in the sewers!"

Standobras stands over the two conscious Kenku to keep them in check while the rest of you do any investigating or searching you would like.
Aegis- You see the stairs leading to the upper balcony where Game is standing, a hallway extending behind him. Taking a moment, you see a door under the stairs that is busted and hanging off its hinges.
(Anyone else who wants to can also make an investigation check to see what they find)
All of you have had the chance now to take a good look at the room. You see the crates on the balcony and the lower floor that most of you are on... and also the corpses lined up along one wall.

Seeing the Kenku where being taken care of, Game would stand and whistle for Gaz and wave for him to come up. Gaz knew the drill, time to plunder! Game would back up to the office that he did not inspect earlier. The one that was across from the room that he and Gaz had climbed through the window for.
Inside here he would first begin to look around the room for traps, anything out of the ordinary, checking the roof and floor for anything that may mark a compartment of sorts or attic entrance.
Perception (2nd Office):13
Once the entire room was looked over and everything was ensured safe, he and Gaz. Well mostly Game with Gaz assisting, would systematically search the room for anything worthy of plundering.
Investigation (2nd Office):14
Once this room was finished, and if there were no more rooms upstairs. Game would take his attention to the main warehouse floor. Once again, trap and secret searching, followed by a investigative look at everything. Though he would also spend a moment to search the Kenku and 12 Dead Bodies for loot.

Seeing all the corpses Ira fights back a bit of bile, slowly making her way inside. Hearing the bird folk make varying noises that don't seem to belong to the same person she keeps her mouth shut, checking for any magical or religious markings in the building.
Arcana: 21 Religion: 10
She retrieves the bolt she shot into one of the Kenku, careful to not aggravate the damage dealt. She then tends to the wounded Kenku. [Four separate Medicine checks: 8 - 10 - 9 - 16]
Ira: It might be how sick you feel, but you don't see anything of any magical or religious significance. One of the Kenku is unhurt, but you tend to the other three. The one that took Game's crossbow bolt to the knee is being a very bad patient and won't hold still for you to get the bolt out. The difficult one finally passes out and you are able to wrap the wound. You are satisfied that you have tended them best you can.
Gaz: Ties the hands of the Kenku and then joins Game in searching the warehouse.
Gaz & Game: (You both are going to be doing this in the background for the next fifteen minutes or so.)
You don't find any traps or anything of interest in the second upstairs office. Though you do spot a bell above the second office door that seems to connect to something in the wall.
Searching the Kenku, they were each wearing some patchy leather armor and carrying a shortsword, a shortbow, and have a quiver of 20 arrows. Between the four of them you find 19 copper in their belt pouches.
Examining the dead bodies, it seems they have already been tossed for valuables. But five of the bodies have a tattoo on their neck or forearm of a black snake with wings. One of the other bodies has a tattoo on the palm of their hand- a black circle with ten spokes coming out of it.
Looking through the crates is disappointing at first. You find moth eaten bolts of cloth, bottles of rancid olive oil, and a whole crate full of wooden clogs that were in style for the nobles two summers ago. On the bottom floor some of the crates contain leather armor that's been dyed black and several crates of weaponry.
Knowing there has to be more, the two of you examine the walls and floor more closely and Game spots the outline of a concealed door in one of the walls. When you open it, the two of you hear the ringing of that bell in the office on the second floor, but nothing else happens. There are two crates in this room. One of them contains four oil paintings carefully wrapped in leather. They look like city-scapes. Neither of you know much about fine art, but they have to be worth something if the Zhents went through the trouble of hiding them. The other crate contains fifteen corroded metal bars. You look at the stamps on the bars and your jaws drop. Game leans forward to rub away some of the tarnish- these are Silver trade bars. They each weigh 10lbs, but are worth 50 gold apiece.
Aegis- Approaching the door, you find a small closet under the staircase. You see a few barrels of pickled fish that have been left open and... a humanoid trying to hide under a tarp but not doing it very well. Peeking out is a very tired and bruised looking human man. Eyeing you with a bit of uncertainty he says in a raspy voice, "You don't look like a Zhent."
