Lockbox stays silent For he is one with the shadows. 

[OOC] is there a way around bag?  I thought it was a solid wall connected to other warehouses for some reason  

Perception to see if there is a way around behind .7

'Seeing Kestrell glancing down the sides of the building towards the back, Vassa takes this as his cue. Sneaking silently past the large blocky shadow to his right, the bard moves up to the opposite side of the warehouse that Kestrell was looking down and checks to see if there are any windows on this side or footholds that would allow him to climb the building?'

[OOG] Hey dude. Not sure if you want us to roll new stealth and perception checks every time we post we're doing something, or if you want to carry over and use previous rolls?

[OOC] A single stealth roll is good until you reveal yourself (step into light, get seen, attack someone, yell, etc.). Perception and investigation are per whatever you're trying to perceive or investigate.

You don't see any way up to the roof of the two story warehouse. The only entrances were the ones already mentioned.

'Satisfied that the options for entry are the front door, the window or the loading door, Vassa sneaks back past the giant lumpy shadow now on his left, but quietly checks the window to see if it's locked, before moving back to his party.'

Asariel follows Vassa cautiously she's not used to all this, she looks around anything of particular note.

You find that the window is indeed locked.

"Well, let's just go knock on the door.  Pretend we want to buy a wagon load of candles."

"Well, let's just go knock on the door.  Pretend we want to buy a wagon load of candles."

 
"Hey, that's the most... amazing plan i've ever heard!"

'Snapping a mock salute in a parody of what he's seen Watch officers do, Vassa says with a wink,'

"Watch Officer Ben Dover, reporting for duty, SIR!"

'To the likely puzzlement of his companions, Vassa pulls out his disguise kit and looks around for anything that he can scavenge to help create a convincing Watch Officer disguise.'

"Whoever's in there, if they're the ones who grabbed Floon, they might be happy to nab or kill some random candle salesman... but surely they wouldn't attack members of the Watch, right?"

[OOC] disguise kit check 8 (using int as the ability mod, or +1 if dex based)

In a matter of just a few minutes, Vassa puts together a bit of a disguise. It's not perfect, but hey, we're in a dark alley.

'Stands up and turns to his fellow party members as though he's just put together the best disguise in history,'

"Hey guys, don't freak out, it's still me... Vassa! Well.... what do you think? Watchman Ben will go up there, knock on the door, ask if they've seen anything suspicious, have a bit of a looksey and if I see nothing untoward, I'll merely come back and report. If I do see Floon or something else fishy, then I'll give you all a signal to move in... How does that sound?"

"That's great, ah, Mr. Dover.  Ben was it?"

"What's the signal?"

Lockbox during this time slowly, ever so slowly, draws his greataxe above his head. Ready to strike, an unseen shadow of rage. He started letting the pain and anger build up, finally it was his time to shine. The shiniest shadow. 

He watches Vassa get ready and realizes that Vassa might actually be a guard...he looks so convincing. 

((OOG Lockbox is readying an attack. If someone tries to attack Vassa he is swinging. Swing first, ask questions later.))

"What's the signal?"

 
"Err, the signal? Oh yeah... that. Umm, ohh, I know! How about I yawn and stretch like this!" *dramatic and tragically over-acted yawn and stretch*

Asariel thinks for a moment then says "my face is well known in waterdeep either I'm going to need one of those disguise kits or I'll just have to stay out here, I can't imagine these kind of people would enjoy a noble's company..."

'Taking  the incredulous stares of his companions as acquiesence, the often-reckless but ever-optimistic bard strides confidently towards the warehouse's front door, pausing only to toss a wink in Asa's direction as he walks away half-humming, half-singing,,'

"She likes magic, she's like magic,
Spells and wands and all that stuff,
She's like magic, she likes magic,
Not real strong, but plenty tough,
She likes magic, she's like magic,
Brief on words and all that fluff,
She's like magic, she likes magic,
Buffs and blasts, she has enough..."

[OOC] bardic inspiration for Asa

Kestrell stands back by the front gate, with a clear shot at the door, waiting for the signal.

'Vassa adopts his best bored watch officer having to do the rounds because some busy-body called in a disturbance report in the area persona and, knowing that his allies have eyes on the doorway, he will walk up next to the door (not directly infront of) and lean across to knock firmly *rat-tat-tat, rat-tat-tat*... making sure that he's standing out of the line-of-fire should anyone need to fire inside.

After knocking firmly twice, the half-elf will call out,'

"Hey, whoever is inside these premises - OPEN UP, it's Major Ben Dover here, of the Waterdeep City Watch. We've had a complaint about excessive noise coming from this area. Something in the report about opera singing during the wee hours of the morning. We're just going building-to-building, checking dwellings in the neighbourhood to make sure there aren't any unlicensed sopranos operating nearby."

[OOC] Deception or Performance check as needed 19(both +7) 

A second roll, i10ncase I get advantage for my awesome disguise - 

As soon as you knock, and the entire time you're talking, you hear what sounds like people running, furniture being knocked over, etc. By the time you finish talking it's completely quiet inside the building.
