It does indeed seem as if they are running purely to try and get away from Jezun at this point...he's not sure they're going to lead him anywhere unless they think they've lost him.
Attack if you wish, or roll stealth if you wish to try and tail them a bit more stealthily.

As we’re outside initiative, Fianna would suggest we quickly encourage any last stragglers to get out then quickly consult the others on best way to corrals the displaced beasts. “I could try charming them,” Fianna would advise, “but then I’d mainly be tapped til we rested...”
and for all conversation voices are kept low and speakers have their back at Ehzia...
“He likely can be tricky,” Fianna says, indicating the boy in the plastic bubble. “But can also be talked to... we didn’t come to blows last we met so bargaining may be on the table. Still, we need be wary when I drop the spell.., we have about 8 minutes until I need to, but can before then if we are ready...”
“Hey, can anyone check on Jezun? Make sure he’s good?”
"Let everyone run?"Mirica added just a the slightest question to the sentence for Chen-Jahren, hoping he will drop the Web. The less thugs to fight - the better. The look of multiple her around was disturbing (she would never understand how Toc could live with his clone around! Therapy, therapy and more therapy - he really needed it.) though eventually she dropped the idea to discuss Fianna's vision of her butt (actually, there is nothing wrong in being a badass with a god ass). However, the look of the beasts chewing on the lag of her image was less pleasant. "If you charm them, we can muzzle the beasts and tide them to something, so we could speak with our friend here in peace and quiet. May be even some place else."
"Handsome bunch..." remarks Jahren as people flee in all directions. He turns, looks at the beast and comments "in my experience they would be difficult to turn and thus may have to be...dealt with."
Looking at Ehzia the bard suggests "I could take Chen with me inside your wall, maybe give him the choice of giving up his magical foci rather than fight."
Regarding Jezun, Jahren says "right, I can go to him momentarily..."but looks to Chen and Fianna to see if they'd want him to teleport inside the wall of force to deal with Ehzia first.
((Can one teleport through it? I had assumed no, if entirely surrounded. We could always write notes directing him to strip if he wishes to parlay...I was thinking a message to Jezun just to check in, get a location.., not sure if that is available or not.))
Fianna slowly, gently approaches the Displacer Beasts so as to get within 30 feet of them. She will sooth and calm them as best she can to get them within 30 feet of each other and then cast Charm Monster upon them. (Wis save vs DC 20)
Assuming they are charmed, she will find a place out of sight to tie them up. Would prefer out of hearing range too but that’s likely asking for too much. She doesn’t want to kill these beasts out of hand... but isn’t looking to defend them either. For now she just wants them out of the fray that may or may not happen...
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
WIth the warehouse now empty, aside from you lot, Ezhia, and two poorly named displacer beasts..(the other two managed to escape them)...you glance around and note....Jezun is missing, obviously, but...Toc is also missing. He must have run off during the chaos. The lot of you start wondering if he could benefit from some improvement on his communication skills. Ignoring that for now Fianna slowly approaches the displacer beasts. Their tentacles off their shoulder lash about angrily as they pace in small circles, always keeping their faces craned towards the group. Deep growls issue from them. She summons her Fey powers and lets magic wash across them. 1714 The growling suddenly stops. The two large cats still lash about their tentacles in a waspish manner...and pace....there's no purring coming from them....but they seem less inclined to suddenly attack you. Their eyes dart to Fianna's allies with evil intent as they pace. As she moves towards them they pad away...it would seem tying them up will not be a simple manner...but...it does seem she can corral them. They back away from her and the group as she corrals them towards the eastern end of the warehouse. Once there...she finds if she stands still...they don't try and get move around her.
Jezun meanwhile takes a silent step back into the shadows and all but vanishes. The two thugs run a bit further, then stop at the mouth of an alley way were it emerges onto a side street. They turn to each other, and have a quick exchange. They seem to have a bit of a disagreement....there's a push, a shove....someone yells something that can't be repeated in gentle company, and then one storms off to the left. The other stands there for a moment, watching the other leave, yells another obscenity, then heads to the right. 25. Jezun hears Toc's voice in his mind, "I'll follow the one that went left...you follow the one that went right." He sees a dark shadow fly past him overhead.
Realizing that Toc isn't there, Jahren guesses that he too has gone after Lacy, or at least the men sent to dispatch her, but wants to be sure. Reaching for his instrument as a focus and mutter a word of Sylvan and then Toc's name, the bard uses Sending to check in with his friend.
"Toc, you after Lacy? Need assistance? If not, will help to deal with Ehzia and join you soon."
He gets a response, "Yes, Jezun and I have them, you can remain with Ezhia. Sorry for not saying something. Jezun is new, and Lacy's life is in danger."

If there is a room or office in which Fianna could lead them before closing the door on them she’ll do that, telling them “I’m just going to get you some fresh victims to play with...”
If no room she can shut them in she will lead them outside and ask them to patrol the building and to not let anyone in... She’ll mention the details to the rest when she returns to the group. Don’t want any Displaced surprises...
The displacer beasts seem to refuse to leave the warehouse area where they can keep an eye on Ezhia. He seems to be making motions at them, but they keep glancing at Fianna and prowling around in small circles. Though they seem to not consider her an enemy anymore, they're certainly not obedient animals. The growl and snap at each other even, clearly agitated. Though they seem to be friendly towards Fianna, that clearly doesn't extend to following her every order.

Jezun replies back mentally, even if it can’t be heard, “Thank you, that makes sense. Is this group always so.... improvisational? Also, I’m sorry about your house.”and he takes off silently after the one who went right.
"Toc and Jezun are after Lacy." "I'll stay here for now to help with him"says Jahren, pointing at Ezhia.
The bard steps forward, points a finger at the enemy and whispers to the snake-eyed man using Message. "If you drop your magical items, your spell focus, any other components, any weapons and your shirt (and any armor), I'll ask my friend to release her spell so we can talk rather than kill one another."
"C'mon guys, won't you please step into the other room and let me close the door? I know you want to protect daddy over there and I promise you... I promise that I will not hurt him! I just need you two out of sight so he doesn't think it a good idea to start a fight either. You two out of sight is the best chance of Ezhia not getting hurt," Fianna says in her best convincing, soothing voice. She tries to push them. Not in a violent or mean way at well, but rather the way a loving pet owner may try to push their overly large dog comically up a hill, obviously not forcing anything at all...
Jahren, you know message won’t work through a wall of force.
Jezun, you slowly pursue the single man through the streets. He stays off main streets and to back alleys, slinking through the night. He doesn't go far though. It's three blocks later when he's walking along a strip of small row homes and he glances about once more before taking a few steps up some stairs. He knocks on the door of a house. There's a single dim light on in the house.
Mirica joined Jahren, meanwhile. "May be before spending magic, we can just write it all down and show him? You have a quill?" Surely, somewhere in warehouse should be writing supplies on the open (for inventory purpose). In the worst case the message can be written right on the floor.
The two creatures allow themselves to be corralled into an office space just up the stairs....leaving the group alone with Ezhia. You can find a quill and paper easily if you wish. Jahren takes a moment to write down his words. Ezhia seems to have been taking the time to calm himself down, and is now shaking his head wryly as he sees them writing. Jahren holds the paper up so that Ezhia can see it. His snake slit eyes scan the page...then he smirks and pulls out a pocket watch and looks at it. He taps the glass on it's face and then looks up bored. He fake yawns and puts his hand casually over his mouth, then finishes his fake yawn. His eyes glitter as he continues to wait.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Jezun doesn't feel like a stakeout would be sensible, so as soon as the door Thuggy McThuggerson knocks on opens even a crack, he's racing forward with 60 feet of movement, dashing if need be, using step of the wind if really needed, and firmly and deliberately walk-pushes Thuggy into the house to discombobulate him and whoever opens the door. He attacks Thuggy with his staff, aiming to knock him out.
Attack: 32 Damage: 12 Extra Attack: 14 Damage: 16
If needed he'll use a ki point or action surge depending on who else he sees, what the attacks do, etc.

Like a force of nature Jezun comes slamming into the room, sending the guy flying forward and the other guy tumbling. Jezun looks around the house. In addition to the guy he followed here who is flat on his face with a cracked skull, there is another six people in here, two women and three men. One was sleeping on a couch, and two more on the floor, with two sitting at a table with a dim lamp around some cards, the other pushed back from Jezun at the door. The ones that were sleeping sit up, groggy and confused, but adrenalin giving them a hand. The man on the floor is moaning, but still alive. The house is a fairly small affair, with wooden creaky floorboards, a closed door that leads down to a basement and a staircase that wraps around it towards an upper floor.
It does indeed seem as if they are running purely to try and get away from Jezun at this point...he's not sure they're going to lead him anywhere unless they think they've lost him.
