Herman, you are able to gather with two other guards, both who seem to be clueless on what there is to do next.
Quyst, you are able to slink back into the running students, but more and more have been cleared of magic now, the ones that haven't are beginning to stand out.
Saphooly, right before getting to the kitchen where the chute is located, four guards close off the entrance and prepare their staffs.

Saphooly, right before getting to the kitchen where the chute is located, four guards close off the entrance and prepare their staffs.
If Saphooly's class is within 30' of those guards, then Hunferho will cast minor illusion on the closed kitchen entrance, to make it sound like there are people marching on the other side of the doors. (Hopefully the some of those four will open the doors to check what is going on.)

Sahpooly frowns at the guards, silently cursing himself for not getting the students here quickly enough. He looks between the frightened students and imposing knights before putting himself between the guards and the students. Glancing down at the one of the guard's insignia, "Sergeant, what is going on here? You seem to have interrupted my history class for a live reenactment of his Holiness, Emporer Zoth placating the Melundarian rebels. I appreciate your enthusiasm but we don't cover that battle for another few weeks." Sahpooly is careful to try to use the Staff-approved terminology for the historic battle.

(OOC: Making an educated guess in how I worded this statement, but please let me know if I'm using any obviously incorrect terms already (Sergeant, his Holiness Emporer Zoth, calling the Melundarian rebels) and I will correct. I'm expecting this to go poorly IC.)
(oh, sorry I missed you two as well :( well, both make Stealth checks)
Quyst, it appears, to what you can see, they are simply draining magic, but seem to be, at least from here, minorly injuring people who rebel.
Savanar, one of the knights jumps toward you. Make an Acrobatics check.
Hunferho, two of the four will look to each other, mumbling, "Did you hear that? We should go check." and leaves the other two to guard the class. One of the knights yells in anger, noticing the magic being cast and raising his staff, pointing it toward Hunferho. "You like magic, do you? Perhaps you will be the example for this class, for those who rebel." Make an Acrobatics check.
Saphooly, (ooc: your statement was fine, I think), the other guard just shakes his head. "Okay, okay. No need to prolong the inevitable. Give up your magic willingly and no one else could get hurt. Then again, any rebellion, we have full authorization to dispose of any to all of you."
(ooc: I think I got everyone this time? lol but tell me if I didn't!)
No knights seem to see you, and you discover many discarded items that students didn't think they needed when they attempted an escape, and some that were simply forgotten by mistake or left behind for some other reason. There is a dagger, a glass orb, some flowers, but the strangest of all is a wand, or an arcane focus, you assume, but it is an elk's horn. Not cut or anything, but an elk's horn. And it radiated magic powerfully.

This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
The staff makes contact with you, and you feel electrical power surge through you, clinging onto any magic inside of you and attempting to force it out of you. The knight will attempt to pin you to the nearby wall to make sure you can't escape: 8 but is unsuccessful in his attempts. Immediately, you take 1 damage, and lose one spell slot for the day. What would you like to do?
Stealth check for the group with disadvantage: 7

Do I not get a response? :(
(Sorry there were a few and the new page confused me, sorry.)
The knights won't act immediately. "It is still of pride to give up here. There is no shame in that. Are any willing to have their magic stripped?"

Are the knights arresting or killing any students, or are they only draining magic energy away and then leaving them?, Quyst thinks to herself.
Perception check: 8
ffs, these rolls hate me
(It’s okay. Sorry for not changing the color of what Savanar’s saying. I’m on mobile.)
“Strip away the magic of a god’s cleric? Such mortal hubris can only lead to your downfall!” Savanar shouts while drawing his mace and shield.

A guard jumps out from behind a corner, stabbing his staff toward you. Make an Acrobatics check to dodge it.

(a natural 20 doesn't dodge?)
Link thinking quickly on his feet casts Command on the guard ordering him to "DROP"
(if successful I'll pick up the staff, disengage and continue to run)
