So it was indeed Masus who sent these men. It would be helpful to not kill these men, to use either as leverage or to submit to the Guard with the hope that they'd be able to extract that same knowledge from these footmen. Emund raps his knuckles on the table, mulling over the best way to proceed for a moment. With extended fingers, he taps twice on the table and says, "Okay then. Well I'm afraid that your boss has misinformed you about where this threat lies. Would you mind laying your weapons on the table so that I can see whether or not you're up to the task?" (Deception: 11)
Knowing that the charm was approaching its end, Emund doesn't wait to see if they comply. In a low voice, he begins chanting the word 'waver' in Common, Elvish and Orcish, and executes some movement with his fingers casting Bane on the three men sitting at the table.
"Now would be an excellent time to take care of these new patrons, Yorvalor."
Yorvalor realizes that even with Emund's coaching, it seems that these folks are not in a very talkative mood. "Well Gentlemen, it seems that the free beer is not sweetening the deal. AND it looks like the night is getting late for you folks. I am afraid that this establishment will be getting very busy very soon. We do not want to cause a scene here do we? What about we all join your friends outside. It seems that they might be up to no good. I say we all go outside, nice and easy. Shall we?" (Persuasion: 14)

"Science is organized knowledge. Wisdom is organized life."
The group glances between each other, as Yorvalor heads outside with them. Once outside, it's easy to see the other three members of the gang. One with a dagger in his shoulder, another holding some kind of lighter while a third stands dumbstruck. A pile of flames behind him, yet his arm is still extended out as if he intended to throw it.
Despite things going south, the five of them seem to have a bit of a rallying moment.
"Go get that thing out of your shoulder," the one with a flame in his hand from a burning stick says. "We can take care of the others," he drops the stick and stamps it out with his foot. His hand going and pulling out a small dagger from his belt. Yorvalor, as you walk out, you see one of the men with you also grab a dagger from his belt.
(Round 1)
Setup: The gang members have found their resolve, at least for now in their strength in numbers. One is still inside, disarmed and not directly in the fight. Another is sitting on the ground with a rather serious injury to his shoulder. Two others are standing in front of Keegan and Cade. A few feet away from them, Yorvalor having escorted the other 3, one of which has gone for a weapon.
Emund, you can easily see this happening through the windows and the open door.
You definitely think they're here to do as much harm as possible. But, you doubt their resolve if too many go down.
(Falcon Nest Crew goes first, then the gang members will go.)
Yorvalor looks at the person outside that pulled a dagger and was barking orders. He grabs Slash and plays slow tempo song, not too loud so the person can hear him. He whispers to the person "Sorry mate, no one is hurting the Falcon tonight." Dissonant Whispers DMG: 11
He then grabs Cade's sword from his back and remove the wrappings. "Cade!! Here, Tharii found something for you my friend." He tossed the sword to Cade.

Cade looks up and sees his brother’s sword flying through the air. Cade instinctively catches the sword. He turns towards the enemies. He dashed forward and attempts to swing across the enemy’s chest.
Looking around to see who saw the green beam of energy shoot form his bow, Keegan drops the weapon in a small panic. Then seeing the enemy start to rally Keegan draws his two short swords, and hands one to Cade. Turning towards the men in front of them Keegan assumes a defensive posture, the air suddenly turns chilly around Keegan. A spectral frost begins to form around his body and gear, Keegan looks down at his arms, once again in shock and the frost covers his entire form. (casting Armor of Agathys)

Emund, you have a easy time. The gang member just seeming to nod as your hand forcefully pushes him out the door where you see the quick combat happening.
The just slashed by Cade gang member, and the one who was hit by the dagger both disengage, and begin running. Heading in two different directions as they just flee into the night.
The one who was barking orders... (WIS save: 13) ...hears the low tones. His brain becoming rattled and his body becoming seriously injured. He looks over in some kind of horror, before dropping the components for a Molotov cocktail and turning to run after one of his gang members.
The remaining three, one begins to head towards Keegan but stops as a magical spell surrounds him. "Wha....what the...." he says as his morale dissolves.
One of the goons grabs his knife, and takes a quick slash at Yorvalor: Attack: 14 Damage: 4
One seems rather bold and moves to engage with Cade: Attack: 4 Damage: 4
Quick Summary: Emund brings the lone gang member outside into the quick carnage. Yorvalor tosses Cade his blade, before pulling out Slash and terrifying one of the gang members. The gang member, although not being taken out instantly from the damage, still turns and runs away in terror (30 feet away). Cade grabs the blade out of the air, and quickly slashes at one of the others, straight across his chest and part of the arm. Keegan in a defensive reaction, brings up a shroud of cold around him. The two injured gang members (one from a dagger, another from Cade's strike) both disengage and turn tail (one 15 feet away, one 30 feet away). The remaining three outside step into the fight. One heads to Keegan but quickly pulls back a bit. Unsure of what is happening in front of him. One manages to slash at Yorvalor (4 damage), while he's playing on slash. The one that decides to fight Cade gets his knife blade parried away as he goes in for a thrust.
The gang member who exits with Emund just puts his hands up. Not even entering the fray. "Nope, nope, nope."
Setup: You're all outside the nest, with three orchid gang members. One was about to fight Keegan, but is rethinking that idea. One is fighting Yorvalor, and a third is fighting Cade. A fourth member is simply standing with his hands up, shaking his head 'nope' by Emund. Three others are running away (two at 30 feet away, heading in different directions. A third at 15 feet away, following one of the others)
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
“Yeah...seems a bit of a mess,” Emund says to the gang member near him who shakes his head. “So, I’m going to put these on you, and you’re going to take a break right here, and you’re going to be fine.” Emund puts his manacles on the man. “We’re really just trying to avoid unpleasantness here—it’s why I brought you out.”
Maintaining his grip, Emund looks to Yorvalor and calls out a healing word, “Be well!” (4). The word echoes with a voice other than Emund’s (Voice of Authority grants Yorvalor the ability to use his reaction to make an attack on one of the gang members).
Yorvalor feels the slashing on his flesh. "How dare you? This is my stage costume!!" Suddenly Yorvalor feels his wounds magically being healed. "Ohhhh…." He looks at Emund and winks at him. "Now, it's my turn." Yorvalor strums another ear piercing note towards the one that attacked him. "Are you always stupid, or are you making a special effort today?" Vicious Mockery DMG: 1.
Yorvalor then looks at the person attacking Cade and yells: "You look like a scab on a troll's wart!!" Vicious Mockery DMG: 1.

Seeing the frost covering his body, Keegan assumes some evil mage is casting a spell on him. He will drop in to a crouch and roll to the side, trying to avoid what ever attack he think is aimed his way.
The gang member on Yorvalor and Cade.... (10, 2) ... both shake their heads a little bit.
The one on Yorvalor doesn't seem quite as impacted, taking another swing at the bard. "Quiet you!" Attack: 5 Damage: 4
The one on Cade winces in pain, getting distracted as he attempts to take a wild swing at him Attack: 4 Damage: 2
The third who was on Keegan watches him roll away. He, too, begins to be on the lookout. Moving to take some cover in case there is something else going on and tries to hide down a ally 7 Stealth roll
The gang member who's now in manacles just sits down next to the door. Looking up at Emund with a bit of a shrug.
Quick Summary: Emund places cuffs on one of the ruffians, who sits down. Keegan rolls out of the way, trying to figure out if he's under attack by some kind of magic. Cade goes on the defensive (auto-action), while Yorvalor mocks the two other combatants fighting him (saved) and fighting Cade (1 dmg). One fighting Yorvalor takes a swing, clipping him with his dagger (1). The other tries to swing at Cade, but misses wildly.
Round 3 (Begin)
Setup: One of the combatants is handcuffed and sitting down, with another hiding down a alleyway. One still is fighting Cade, with another fighting Yorvalor. The others are continuing their retreat into the night.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
"Ouch..." Yorvalor is more embarrassed than anything else, that he got hit, again. "OK, you asked for this you..." He plays a soft chord and whispers "This is what you get for messing with my stage costume..." Dissonant Whispers DMG: 12.

Coming up out of his roll, feeling no pain or discomfort Keegan is more confused than ever. Seeing the ruffian in front of him turn away Keegan will give chase.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Seeing that the manacled man is compliant, Emund readies his grip on his spear and approaches the ruffian Cade is engaged with. With both hands on gripped firmly on the weapon, he swings the blunt end in a short arc, aiming to knock the man unconscious.
Keegan takes off after the last figure who attempted to hide. After they both spot eachother, the ruffian takes off down towards the docks in a yet third direction from the other two.
The who had stabbed Yorvalor's eyes just go wide as he collapses from the spell. (Will wake up in 1 hours). Cade takes a slash, nearly finishing off the last of the group before Emund knocks him out before he's able to take off running. (Will wake up in 4 hours).
The other three who were fleeing are long gone by this point, having head across the street and down out of your line of sight.
With the current situation over, except for Keegan who's busy chasing one of them, what do you all do?
So it was indeed Masus who sent these men. It would be helpful to not kill these men, to use either as leverage or to submit to the Guard with the hope that they'd be able to extract that same knowledge from these footmen.

Though there’s more action happening outside, Emund decides it’s dangerous to leave this last man inside with the other patrons.
“Let’s join them, shall we?” he says, moving quickly to try and grapple the man and lead him outside (Grapple: 11).

He then grabs Cade's sword from his back and remove the wrappings. "Cade!! Here, Tharii found something for you my friend." He tossed the sword to Cade.
