In an attempt to further distract the guard, but also serious, Ireniana turns to the guard. "Officer, you look like a fan of boxing. You might have heard of me. I'm Ireniana Falfaren, or 'Elvish Thunder.' Maybe not because I haven't fought in Silverymoon in some time. I once traded leather with some of Silverymoon's best sluggers. I'm looking for a gym to practice at or some stairs to run so I can get in a proper workout?"

I have an intelligence of six, I know what I'm doing.
Nyx changes her tune as if trying to outdo the rest of what is going on and starts to use her flute of illusions.
A guard steps out from behind her and looks like he starts to yell back at the tower guard. He then gets distracted by the music and starts to jork at the buxom Nyx before sitting down infront of her to listen to her tune. Then another guards steps out from behind her only to do the same thing.
Umbriel says quietly to Lyngheid "Not yet, we don't want to give him a reason to start looking around. We just need to wait for the handoff." Then, in a normal conversational tone, he continues his story. "The woman I left behind, Nemesthial, was an archivist, like me, and for years we catalogued scrolls, and ...." Umbriel keeps talking while remaining alerted to his companion's actions and the location of the guards.
At the commotion the guard turns his back into the tower and shouts something, then looks at Ireniana:
"No, I haven't heard of you. But I'm sure you'll find something downtown, go on there."
And then he looks at Nyx: "You! Floutist. Why are you playing so loud? Take your men and leave."
Baeshra: Are you and your fairy searching the carriage, or just going for the hidden compartment under the passenger seat that you were told about? If searching, make an Investigation check.
How do the rest of you respond to the guard at the tower doorway?
A second guard appears behind the first, and you notice him look at the double doors of the carriage house to confirm they are still closed.
Both guards begin to walk towards the group in the street, they are about 30 feet away. The first says: "Alright, I asked you nicely. Then I told you. Now's your last chance." Then he looks at Nyx and says "Go!"
The second guard looks at Ireniana and says "Leave!"
Nyx and Ireniana make a Wisdom Saving throw.
Baeshra, you find the hidden compartment under the passenger seat right where you were told it would be. Inside the compartment is a good sized chest. You are able to lift the chest and hand it off to the Fey with no issue. The Fey starts it's stepping out process.
We'll wait here for Nyx and Ireniana's saves. Whistler, Droop, Owlbear can all do something if they want. Lyngheid and Umbriel, still holding tight, waiting for the Fey?
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Nyx's Wisdom Save: 15
Ah-ha!
Ireniana feels a strange compulsion to turn around and walk away, but manages to shrug it off.
Nyx feels the same urge to leave, and turns around and begins walking away.
About this time the Fey pops out from the carriage house. I just realized that the meetup point between Umbriel, Lyngheid and the Fey wasn't coordinated. I'll roll a d6. On a 1, it appears in front of the double doors, a 2-3 it appears behind the carriage house, and a 4-6, it appears on the side with Umbriel and Lyngheid: 1
Ah-ha, again! The Fey appears on the side of the carriage house, out of view of the guards, and about 10 feet from Umbriel and Lyngheid.
Baeshra walks over to the double doors, turns into a spider and begins walking underneath the doors.
Umbriel, Lyngheid, what do you do?
Ireniana, Droop, Whistler, Owlbear, what do you do as Nyx starts to leave?
Umbriel will wait briefly for Lyngheid to cast Silence - once she does, he'll turn with her on his elbow, walking directly away from the carriage house, keeping the box of goods hidden from view with his body. If they can get away without incident, they'll round a corner and return to the rendezvous point. If someone tries to stop them, Umbriel will use the Blessing of the Raven Queen to bamf 30 feet away and then he'll start running.
The guards visibly relax as the group walks away. Spider Baeshra skitters around the building, and then reverts to normal form before catching up with the group.
Everyone keeps walking away. After several minutes pass, you don't notice any signs of alarm or pursuit.
Umbriel will continue to stroll toward the rendezvous with Lyngheid, keeping an eye out, but otherwise relieved the plan appeared to have worked. Once the group meets up, Umbriel suggests they retire to an inn and inspect the items in privacy.

Going for the hidden compartment, as soon as its found, fairy is stepping out and Baeshra is spidering out.
Nyx makes them all puff out of existance.
"Why don't you come and watch then good sir?"

Ah-ha, again! The Fey appears on the side of the carriage house, out of view of the guards, and about 10 feet from Umbriel and Lyngheid.
Baeshra walks over to the double doors, turns into a spider and begins walking underneath the doors.
Umbriel, Lyngheid, what do you do?
Ireniana, Droop, Whistler, Owlbear, what do you do as Nyx starts to leave?
Ireniana will have Droop wait for a second and then leave but walk a different direction than Nyx.
I have an intelligence of six, I know what I'm doing.
Lyngheid looks at Umbriel, " Now?"
If he nods she casts Silence on the carriage house doors.
OK, the carriage house doors are Silenced.
Droop and Ireniana walk away as well.
Spider-Baeshra comes out from under the doors, do you revert to Lizard form?
The Fey gives the chest to Umbriel and Lyngheid. Now what do you do with it?
Umbriel will wait briefly for Lyngheid to cast Silence - once she does, he'll turn with her on his elbow, walking directly away from the carriage house, keeping the box of goods hidden from view with his body. If they can get away without incident, they'll round a corner and return to the rendezvous point. If someone tries to stop them, Umbriel will use the Blessing of the Raven Queen to bamf 30 feet away and then he'll start running.
Alright, the two of you get 25 feet away from the house.
Baeshra is a spider on the ground outside the double doors of the carriage house.
Whistler, Owlbear, are you leaving, or staying to taunt the guards further?
Baeshra will spider walk behind the next building and then revert and rejoin the rendezvous.
Whistler and Owlbear move away from the guards.

The guards visibly relax as the group walks away. Spider Baeshra skitters around the building, and then reverts to normal form before catching up with the group.
Everyone keeps walking away. After several minutes pass, you don't notice any signs of alarm or pursuit.
What now?
Umbriel will continue to stroll toward the rendezvous with Lyngheid, keeping an eye out, but otherwise relieved the plan appeared to have worked. Once the group meets up, Umbriel suggests they retire to an inn and inspect the items in privacy.
