The fisherman's house is not large. It stands, squizzed between similar houses looking almost invisible. Hidden in plain sight. 

The roof is not easily accessible but is connected to the others. A large doordtznds open in the front a half orc looks outside, arms crossed and picking at his teeth with a small l if. 

Nets are hanging from the porch and several children are working through the knots.

The smell of dried fish is pungent. 

Before everyone gets too much closer to the hideout, Shan whispers, "We should scout for other access points before going in. I highly doubt we're getting out of this without making a scene and we don't want anyone escaping if possible. There's also any underground or water escape points to worry about as well."

I ll give you information depending on what you are trying to find out. 

Tell me what you are looking for and do the appropriate roll. 

(Looking to get more information about if there's any back doors and since it's a fisherman's house, I'm assuming it's on or near the water so any boats in a dock or anything. I'll roll perception and investigation since I'm not sure which one you'd be looking for here. )

18 Perception

17 Investigation

A quick survey of the house tells you that it has no backdoor. The windows on the upper parts are barred. 

Chazrael is going to stand a few feet back and keep an eye out for anyone approaching the house. If he sees someone he will start singing a sailor's song and act drunk so as to not arouse suspicion.

Kriz looks very dissapointed with the thug and say " Let's let him here tied up and send word to the Riders so they can take care of him right?" ( She will give one gold to one of the kids to go and take word to the Riders and tell them were the thug is ) 

Back to the house she tells the others.

"I think I can take the guard with a spell. Just say the word. "

Can you make a deception check please.

There are a few people going into and from the house. A lot more than the building should be able to hold. 

After a while, you surmise that about 7 people are inside. The guard in front of the door has gone and been replaced by a dark skin dwarf with a mean-looking face. 

Shan turns and looks at the assembled group members,"Think we can take them? I don't see much choice other than a full frontal assault."

What about a sleep or charm spell? Get the guard to just let us in?

"Hmm... I can try Hold Person on him, but spells like that aren't my forte. Or if someone has sleep or charm, speak up."

Deception - 1

As Chazrael scouts around, he kicks a pebble that makes a lot of noise. He will say outloud," Stupid Xanathar, thinks he is so high and mighty."

Two men turn to Chazrael in surprise and the dwarf comes down toward him. 

" What did you just say ? " he says gruffly 

Init for everyone. 

Initiative - 6

Initiative: 5

Initiative: 15

7

9 Initiative

The initiative is as follows

• Shandalar, Kriz: 13
• Crash: 12
• Chaz: 6
• Xana: 5

For now, Chaz has the lead but if someone wants to act before his turn all can except for Xana.

Once we see how Chaz handles it we will this if there is a fight or not. 

The dark-skinned dwarf as moved to Chaz standing just in front of him, he has a mean-looking mace in his hand. The road around you is suddenly very quiet and you can all see two other men moving to the confrontation. They have no weapon drawn.
