“Good sir, hold if you please,” Daffafle steps closer to the dark-clothed man, her words laced with a touch of the arcane, attempting to cast Suggestion. “You don’t want to kill this man...you want to sit down with me, and have a lovely conversation about your life, as your good friend.”
"Yes, you're right. I don't want to kill him, but I do want to hurt him..." The man in dark clothes pushes the man to the ground, he sits on the bed and pat for Daffafle to sit beside him with a friendly tone, "but I also want to sit with you and talk about things with you..."
The man scrambles to the door and is pushing past Bartand Wulcrathto freedom.
Daffafle sits next to him with a friendly smile, winking to Bart and Wulcrath. “That’s wonderful! Let’s start with some introductions; I’m Nadine. What’s your name? What brings you to the city?”

The man in dark clothed man sighs rudely as if suddenly interrupted with some important menial task, "Nadine, I desire nothing more to tell you but I simply cannot. It's dangerous, far too dangerous. But, I can tell you why I am here, aside from usual business, of course. That bastard Lord, do you know what he is doing? He is selling prisoners, people. He is trafficking his own people. Could you believe it? What about you, Nadine? What brings you here?"
“The mayor is trafficking people?” Daffafle doesn’t need to mock a gasp of horror. “That’s terrible! I was in town to increase my arcane knowledge, but this clearly is much more important. Are you going to do anything to stop this?” Her voice drops to a whisper. “Is that why you were here to harm that man? Is he in on this foul business?”
"Well, I have strong evidence to suggest so, yes!" The man leans in close and drops to whisper, showing agreement with Daffafle'sdisgust. "Well, I was only looking to get him to confess! Then I was hoping to threaten him to handing himself over to proper authorities in the city."
”Stop that man! He’s the guilty one!” Daffafle calls out to Bart and Wulcrath. She stands, ready to run after him as well, before freezing with realization she still has the charmed “assassin.”
“Perhaps my friends and I can help in your interrogation...hopefully without the need for violence.” She says to the cloaked man with a smile. “Shall we go after him before he escapes the building?”
The assassin stands up, "The longer I am here, the longer I feel I shouldn't be here. And if you're leaving, Nadine, then...?" The man suggests shrugging.

Khazan rushes out of the room and out of the corner of his eye sees a man rushing towards the stairs. "What tae **** is going on?!You there stop!" He rushes after him trying to catch him
Bart yells out. “Stop that man! He’s a criminal!” And keeps running. If he’s gotta get past the men to keep chasing, could Bart sorta parkour along the wall to get past? He’s got the Second Story Work feature from Thief, it seemed like it might help?

Bart - Acrobatics Check: 23
There's an agile blur, two steps on the walls, then Bartlaunches himself into the air. The lord has yet to look behind, unable to prepare as the half-elf lands on him with impressive force, tackling him to the ground and rendering him unable to move...
The security and two members of staff are both confused and impressed. The member of staff follows Bart, the security comes onto the landing to find Khazan, Wulcrathand Dafafflevery much out of bed.
Bart is attempting to pat his quarry down for weapons etc when he hears Khazan. “I’m not actually sure. He was screaming in his room and then his assailant made some accusations of a criminal sort, then he ran. Come help me, Wulcrath can help Daff.”
Recognizing her spell is certainly at it's end, Daffafle quickly scrawls a note in her journal, rips out the page, and hands it to the "assassin."
"Read that when you're ready," she says, glancing back at the security. "You'll probably want to get out of here, unless you'd like to explain the situation to the authorities with us."
Note:
Sorry for the magic trick; my compatriots and I are still trying to get to the bottom of this situation. As disheartening as your story is, I'd like to believe your words are true. Find me later, and perhaps all of us can put an end to the mayor's devious schemes.
Wulcrath's hand is hovering over his Longsword's scabbard as looks at the Assassin. Slowly withdrawing his hand, a stern worried frown slowly spreads across his face,
Kneeling down to Daff with one eye still on the Intruder, he taps her on the shoulder. "Hey, we've got company." "I don't mean to be rude but, this should probably wrap up soon before we're seen conversing with some strange individual.'

Assassin makes a Wisdom saving throw, DC: 13

“Wulcrath, grab him!” Bart says pointing at the guy running, unsure whether to stay or go.

Bart will chase after the man and try to jump on him like a spider monkey to drag or slow him down til someone beefier can help.
(is this a help action or a check?)
Dex check- 12

Wulcrath turns to follow the man, gently pushing past Daffafle and the Assassin, breaking into a run out into the Hallway after him.
"Hey you! Stop!"
Athletics - 17 (Inspiration)
Wulcrath fails to even get a shot at the Man, as he expertly leaves Wulcrath in the dust... "Geez he's fast... Age hasn't slowed him down."
The noble scrambles for the stairs, slipping through Bart's grasp and ducking as Wulcrath lunges.
"Assassins! All of you, assassins!" he screams as he heads to the stairs.
Khazan - Perception check: 15
Khazan snaps awake at the sound of a scuffle and a man shouting out assassins!
Khazan rushes out of the room and out of the corner of his eye sees a man rushing towards the stairs.
"What tae **** is going on?!You there stop!"
He rushes after him trying to catch him
Athletics check: 12
Khazan's mind, still groggy with sleep, and a small stumbles cuts any chance of the dwarf catching the panicked man.
Although, voices are clearly heard from the bottom. Stern voices with steps now ascending, "... we'll check now!"
Bart yells out. “Stop that man! He’s a criminal!” And keeps running. If he’s gotta get past the men to keep chasing, could Bart sorta parkour along the wall to get past? He’s got the Second Story Work feature from Thief, it seemed like it might help?

The security and two members of staff are both confused and impressed. The member of staff follows Bart, the security comes onto the landing to find Khazan, Wulcrath and Dafaffle very much out of bed.
"Bart is going on?! Why are ye pouncing on that man and why is he yelling 'bout asssins?!"
Khazan angrily asks as he goes near the half-elf and the man.
"And who the **** are you?!" he ask to the incapacitated man on the ground
Bart is attempting to pat his quarry down for weapons etc when he hears Khazan. “I’m not actually sure. He was screaming in his room and then his assailant made some accusations of a criminal sort, then he ran. Come help me, Wulcrath can help Daff.”
