"Well my friend, you could help me out later on tonight but for now... lets keep the drinks coming and how about you all wait here with me, just in case my friends need the help of the local guards."

The dwarf's room is plainly furnished, with only a bed, a chest and a desk. The dwarf is sitting at the desk with a lantern for light and regularly taking drinks straight out of a keg of ale. He hasn't moved from the desk in the time you've been watching him.
Baeshra thinks for a moment, and decides to try and wait for the dwarf to drink himself to sleep before brining the others in and continues to quietly watch. (Wildshape lasts for 3 hours at this point, so he'll wait for 2.5 and see what happens.)
OK! The entertainment and drinks downstairs show no signs of stopping.
After the first hour of your watch, he pulls out a deck of cards and begins playing some solitary game on the desk.
2.5 hours pass, and it's about 11:00pm. The dwarf has taken periodic drinks from the keg while playing solitaire, but shows no signs of being inebriated.
Baeshra shrugs as only a spider can, before sneaking up behind him, shifting quickly back to his form and casting hold person. (DC15 wis save.)
OK! Make a Stealth check for shifting back to normal form and starting to cast the spell. And roll initiative too.
By this time, Owlbear is sitting outside the rear door, Umbriel is probably back inside after helping to get Owlbear situated? Whistler, Ireniana and Lyngheid are still inside waiting for the Baeshra signal, and Nyx is keeping the party going! Does that sound about right?
Tiny spider Baeshra transforms back to his normal shape and scrapes against the wall as he does, alerting the dwarf to the new presence in the room just as Baeshra starts to cast his spell.
The dwarf's Initiative: 17
The dwarf turns at the sudden sound, sees Baeshra appear out of nowhere and jumps up out of his chair, drawing two handaxes in a flash. He growls "What are you doing in here?" and looks ready to swing with his hand axes (Readying an attack).
Baeshra is up! Do you continue with your spell?
Everyone else roll initiative so that we have it, but you haven't heard any signal from Baeshra yet.
The inn: Bottom floor is on top, stables to the right of it, second floor with Baeshra and the dwarf on the bottom of the picture:
Umbriel walks through the door into the common area just as Nyx reaches a crescendo in her storytelling. Umbriel opens his mouth to say something in shock, but the raucous laughter of the soldiers drowns him out. He looks up to the second floor, and waits.

Ireniana waits to storm the room if Baeshra calls for it.
I have an intelligence of six, I know what I'm doing.
He grins, nods and orders you another round.
Owlbear glumly walks to the stables and sits down outside the stable door. Seeming to wilfully disobey you.

Whistler hunts through the cart to find a hefty piece of meat and entices Owlbear to obey.

Umbriel starts getting restless after about an hour, and would likely have gone outside to see about Whistler and Owlbear.
Nyx is seeing how many patrons can't handle there drinks, while telling increasingly lewd stories.

Owlbear grudgingly comes back to the rear door and sits down in a huff, but happily gobbles up the meat.
The crowd things out a little as the night goes on, but you have the remaining soldiers attention.
OK! Make a Stealth check for shifting back to normal form and starting to cast the spell. And roll initiative too.
