Hunterpushes off the wall he has been standing by and starts to approach the warehouse.
As he gets closer he calls out to the guards,
"You! Are you Zhentarim?!"
Hunter keeps his distance form the guards until they respond, giving himself room to draw his weapon before they could get to him, if they decided to attack.
The guard turns to you. "Yeah? So what? It's not like you have any business being here, especially since this is totally legal."
The other guard slaps him and whispers something (make a perception check, if it's above 15 look at the spoiler.)
After glancing in Gedyr will try to line up shots at the front guards, attempting to move stealthy and stay hidden as much as possible.....watching as Hunter approaches....and ready to strike...
You turn to the warehouse and relise that 2 other guards have been watching the whole exchange on 2 towers above the gate. They both look petrified as you turn to them.
Hunterchops off the head of the downed guard, bending down and collecting the severed head.
Pulling out a sack from his gear, Hunterputs the head into the sack and then attaches the sack to his backpack.
Hunterlooks over at the second tower, assessing the distance, and where the second guarddisappeared to.
Can I get the distance between the two towers and are the towers connected back to the warehouse, or are they free-standing, or connected to a fence or the like? Can Huntersee how the guardsget in and out of the towers, or at least a best guess as to how they get in and out? Do they go up and down stairs/ladders, or are they connected to the warehouse, so they can get inside from the tower? Let me know if you need a roll for anything.
The guard turns to you. "Yeah? So what? It's not like you have any business being here, especially since this is totally legal."
The other guard slaps him and whispers something (make a perception check, if it's above 15 look at the spoiler.)
"You're not supposed to say that."
The other guard says "Yeah, so what?"
Gedyr,

Hunter stops just far enough to be able to draw his sword before the guards could get to him if they decided to attack.
"What?! I don't care if what you do is illegal or not, I want to know if you are Zhentarim!"
"I have business with the Zhentarim, I couldn't care less about your warehouse and what you do inside it."
Hunter causes his Echo to materialise behind him and then step out and come around to stand beside him.
The Echo appears to be glitching between various versions of Hunter, each silently yelling at the guards, sometime calmly, other times with more vigour.

Gedyr will attempt to give the positive single from above to Hunter drawing his arrow back...
The guards are horribly intimidated and start stepping back. "Wha-- what?"
Hunter draws his greatsword, his Echo doing the same with its own ghostly grey version.
Hunter starts to walk towards the guards again, his Echo following,
"Are you Zhentarim or not? If you are not, I suggest you leave now!"
If the guards answer that they are Zhentarim or try to stop Hunter from entering the warehouse, Hunter will attack them.
If the guards run away, Hunter will let them go, focusing on trying to entering the warehouse.

They run away screaming.
You turn to the warehouse and relise that 2 other guards have been watching the whole exchange on 2 towers above the gate. They both look petrified as you turn to them.
How high are the guard tower platforms from the ground? Does Gedyr have line of sight to the guards?

about 20 feet, they don't spot gedyr yet
Can Gedyr see them to start shooting? They are in guard towers right?
Hunter steps up to the base of one of the towers and directs his Echo to ascend to the tower platform, while giving Gedyr a nod.
Once the Echo stand next to the guard, Hunter switches places with it.
The Echo starts to become more solid and colourful, while Hunter becomes transparent and colourless.
With only a second having passed, Hunter now stands before the guard and his Echo stands below at the base of the tower.
With two sweeps of his greatsword, Hunter attacks the guard.

1st attack Attack: 21 Damage: 22
2nd attack Attack: 24 Damage: 29
Unfortunately, no. All you can see is Hunter staring intently at something.
The other guard stares in horror as the guard on the first tower falls, that guard runs into a door of the second tower and out of sight.
Hunter chops off the head of the downed guard, bending down and collecting the severed head.
Pulling out a sack from his gear, Hunter puts the head into the sack and then attaches the sack to his backpack.
Hunter looks over at the second tower, assessing the distance, and where the second guard disappeared to.
