Well what we're going to do is roll initiative as we start a chase!

Guards Initiative: 16

6 init

WELP the Guards go first so this might be short. They run into melee with you and both attempt to grapple you.

Grapple Check #1: 24

Grapple Check #2: 11

Go ahead and make two opposing Acrobatics or Athletics checks.

Double acrobatics

The first guard gets a good grip on you. Your flailing almost dislodges the second guard but he catches your other arm. "All right that's enough of that!" Because of your size, you are practically carried back toward the front door of the warehouse. At this point you can try one last time to break the grapple or you can go along back to the warehouse.

Waging his options Gaz opts to give up to be carried back to the warehouse, it might be more difficult to escape from there if things went south but at least there would be witnesses to tell them that he was not doing anything bad.

Okay- so back in the warehouse, just as those inside are beginning to explain things to the Watch Captain, two guards carry Gaz inside.

"We caught this goblin outside trying to make a run for it Captain."

“Well, Captain, you see...” is started by Aegis just before the guards are heard shouting at and wrangling the goblin. With Gaz reappearing in the door, Aegis understands their approach. 

“Captain Staget, I am Aegis; member of the Watchful Order of Magists and Protectors. We are a small band of folk who are looking for a man named Floon. Our search for him led us here, after hearing that he and the young Lord had been followed and taken after a night at the Skewered Dragon. It seems that Xanathar’s Guild and the Zhentarim are at odds, as these Kenku seem to have been sent here by Xanathar. None of the death you see here was at our hands. We do not care to intrude into City Watch affairs. Please excuse our Goblin compatriot; we needed help in this ward. He only wishes to avoid unfair discipline.”

Persuasion 22

At this, Aegis will reach out their hand to shake. 

Captain Staget's expression doesn't soften but he does contemplate your words and then nod. "Very well, release the Goblin." He will give Aegis' hand a very brief shake.

"Captain!" One of the guards who has been examining the corpses lifts up the hand with the spoked circle tattoo. "It's Xanathar's again."

The Captain will sigh, "Alright. Get these," he gestures to the Kenku, "Down to the watch station on suspicion of murder and assault." The two Kenku who are conscious don't protest, but look pretty grim as they are lead away. One of the Watchmen writes furiously as the Captain continues to give orders. "I want these bodies taken to the station- we'll need a priest fetched in the morning for questioning. I also want to know whose name is on the deed for this property-"

One guard comes forward to take Standobras and Gaz's names- Gaz it's up to you if you tell the truth or not.

After asking you all some additional questions, Captain Staget will say, "Very well. It's quite late. Unless you have any additional statement to make, you four can be on your way. We will follow up with you if we need any additional information."

Not being cooperative didn't work so might as well not lie to the guards.

“Captain, could I possibly suggest something to aid you? Those Kenku are clearly a capable sort. Though they are poorly affiliated currently, perhaps you can sway them to work for you; their mimicry is an impressive and unmatched skill. Simply a suggestion. 

I would like you to know that our group located a secret room by the stairs to the balcony. In there you will find, what I believe to be, stolen artwork. I’m sure it will look well upon you to return them,” Aegis bows very gently. “Have a safe day, Captain.”

When Aegis is finished he will return to the group.

“Master Standobras, Mister Gaz, I do believe we should retrieve Lady Ira and Mister Of Chance and depart for elsewhere. Then, from there, we should head to the sewers.”

"Uh, mister, that's fancy, I like it. seems like we're done here, lets get the people we have to get and lets start making our way, we have lots to do."

Captain Staget will nod at Aegis and then continue directing his investigation.

Ranaer will follow the three of you outside and ask, "Do you intend to enter the sewers immediately or wait until daylight? Either way, I am with you."

Right now it is about two and a half bells before midnight. (From what I recall, Standobras wanted to proceed right away. So that will be his vote.)

“Mister Of Chance will likely have a safe place to leave our bars for the time being. Let’s go find him and get that settled. Then, Master Ranaer, we will head for the sewers immediately after.”

We regroup, allow Game to give directions, and then from there are on the way to the sewers. 

Game would come out of hiding once the guards had split and would slowly move up towards the group. After there was a bit of a discussion and everyone had gathered up. Game would motion for the party to follow him.

The feline would lead them through into deeper into the dock wards for a good half hour before he would finally tell the party to halt. “Vait herrre ee vill take barrrs somewherrre to deal vith zem ee vill rrreturrrn to get rrrest.”

With that Game would vanish with about five bars, after a good time he would return from a different direction to get the next five bars. He repeated this one more time, coming from another direction all together to get the last five bars.

Then Game would be missing for some time. ((Just waiting on the pm’s with Jackie and let players get reactions)).

During this time, Aegis ensures Ira is completely out of sight (Help action for Stealth).

Aegis will discuss strategy for taking on the sewers with Standobras and Gaz. Discussing taking the waters slowly and to look out for “yellow markers” as told by the Kenku.

They will remind everyone that they do not see well in the dark. They pull out 4 dime-sized rounds of the same metal they are made of. The eye globes’ light shrink to a similar size as the 4 pieces of metal begin to float and glow.

”This is as best as I can do for myself. I don’t need any kind of flame, but we’ll need a signal for me to dismiss them; so as to not draw too much unneeded attention.”

We'll say that all of you have now gathered at a nearby sewer grate. Aegis isn't bothered by it, but for the rest of you the unpleasant smell of excrement wafts upward. Ranaer will wrinkle his nose, but shrug. "I already stink of fish- so might as well. The light is appreciated Master Aegis; I am also unable to see in the dark."

Now's the time for any final preparations before you descend.

Standobras, will look at Ira and say; ‘’Well dear sister, it appears as if Floon and the Xanathar thugs who kidnapped him from his original kidnappers and murdered a number of Zentharim thugs in the process have slight head start on us. That said, the good news is that we are no longer a few days behind our quarry but, rather, a few hours at most. Hence, we really need to press our advantage and resume our pursuit right away. Oh, if you happen to have any perfume with you, I suggest putting a dab of it under each nostril or on a handkerchief that you can put over your nose, it should dampen the effect of the sewer’s distinct aroma.’’ And with that, he’ll enter the sewers.

You descend into the sewer, closing the grate above. The only illumination is the dim light coming from Aegis' lights that extends only ten feet around you. For most of you, your darkvision lets you see up to 60ft away, but Aegis and Ranaer are blind to everything outside the light. For those of you who can see farther, the tunnel stretches in two directions- going as far as you can see in this light.

A putrid stream flows along the bottom of the tunnel. Some of you might be unbothered by the stink, but for others this is a very unpleasant olfactory assault.

In the soft light of Aegis' spell, you see a symbol drawn on the wall in yellow chalk: a palm-sized circle with ten equidistant spokes radiating out from it, like a simple drawing of the sun. Under it is an arrow pointing further down the tunnel. Game creeps ahead as you make your way forward.

Anyone who is trying to be sneaky, go ahead and make a stealth check.

Sneakety sneak check: 5 and Perceptivity perception check: 21. Since Standobras is not currently in his normal armor he doesn't suffer disadvantage on the ninja check. Unfortunately the multiverse has cursed him with clumsiness that simply won't go away.
