None of party can see the carriage or where it's disappeared to but turning around they trek to the shipping and receiving business also run by the Mardoons and notice it's heavily guarded. It's a large two story building made of wood and stone. It has few windows on the first floor and none on the second. There's a patrol of two that seem always on the move and two guards are posted on the only visible door at the front street entrance.
OOC: Approaching stealthily or....?

The patrol seems lost in conversation and don't see you but one of the guards on the front notices both Griff and Yuri. Jophyra notices this sweeping herself further in the shadows unseen.
"Who goes there," the guard calls out alerting the patrol which is about thirty feet away from where the party lingers.
The guards are about forty feet away.

Cover blown, Yuri steps confidently in front of Griff. He looks back at Griff with a wink and says quite loudly, "Out of the way, hired sword! You are hindering my access to my wares. I must check to be sure that they are undamaged and meet Lady Gilda's exacting expectations." All the while Yuri continues walking confidently towards the guardsmen and entrance to the warehouse. Yuri calls out to the guardsmen, "I am Gustav Greenbriar, a merchant dealing in the finest powders and adornments for the fairer sex. I have a special shipment for Lady Gilda. I need to inspect the shipment in anticipation of presenting to her ladyship on the morrow. Let me pass."
Fumbling one of the guard starts to move to open the door for Yuri while the other steps aside.
"Yes, of course. Not a terrible amount of light in there serah," the guard opening the door calls out. "Your man there? Is he coming to?" The guard asks pointing to Griff they have not seen Jophyra yet.
Yuri doesn't enter alone regardless looking inside he sees a large area with a man seated at a desk curiously looking up from several ledgers spread out in front of him.

Yuri stops at the entrance of the warehouse. He turns to Griff, "Where is my model? My dearest where are you, love? I don't have all night!"Yuri looks the way they came. He stamps his foot impatiently.
<OOC: I don't see applying women's makeup to the towering male half-orc paladin a well received action on Griff's part. I was giving Jophyra an opportunity to accompany us or she can remain in the shadows and seek her own way in. Whatever she thinks best. Yuri trusts in her capabilities.>

With his model at his side and his dutiful hired sword at hand, Yuri approaches the man at the desk with the ledgers to continue the farce.
Yuri takes a moment to look about the place, distaste apparent upon his face.

Yuri flashes a pained smile at the man and says, "Greetings good sir. I am Gustav Greenbriar, a merchant dealing in the finest powders and adornments for the fairer sex. I had a special shipment for Lady Gilda shipped to this property. I need to inspect the shipment to be sure it has arrived undamaged and is in good order. I must present my wares to her ladyship on the morrow. Be a good man and take me to the most recent shipment that has arrived. I must be sure they are up to Lady Gilda's exacting expectations. I have brought along this fair maiden to sample the wares. It would not due to dissatisfy Lady Gilda, no it would not. Come now, good man! With a quickness! I haven't got all night!"
Yuri stands there in every way portraying the most sniveling, obnoxious, pampered lordling he can recall. They were always a favorite mark in his youth.
<OOC: Let me know when a further deception roll is needed.>
"Oh...I wasn't made aware of any visitors..," the wrinkled human at the desk replies readjusting a pair of spectacles on top of his broad nose before peering down at a set of ledgers. "No no there's no Greenbrair wares here serah not in my ledgers and I keep the best ledgers serah," he nods at Griff and Jophyra giving them a curious smile.
As Yuri looks around there's plenty of doors leading elsewhere but there all shut. The party is standing in basically an office at the desk of the administrator.
"No," the old man checks again..."are you sure you're not looking for the east dock nearer the swamp serah" he asks craning his neck slightly to look at Griff curiously before setting his gaze questioningly to Yuri.

Yuri flashes a look at Jophyra & Griff that says nothing to lose. Yuri looks sternly at the man, he says with sorcerous power reverbating in his voice, "We need to search the warehouse. You will allow us to search the warehouse unimpeded by the guards or yourself." Yuri's pupils in his distinctive yellow eyes, lengthen in reptilian appearance as his sorcerous power manifests.

<OOC: Given the recent turn of events, I believe we would be using stealth in our approach to the warehouse.>
Stealth: 12
Yuri flits amongst the shadows alongside his companions. As they approach the warehouse, Yuri notes the perimeter guards as they make their rounds.
"Not my strongest suit, but probably better than causing a commotion."

Griff says nothing as he follows Yuri into the warehouse. He nods politely to the guards as he walks past.
