Walking into the room and seeing the warm welcome awaiting them, Fianna is immediately on the defensive. She uses her Eldritch Sight to Detect Magic within 30 feet of her as she walked into the room and looked about.
By the by, I get anything from me Eldritch Sight before I had to drop that for Wall of Force? Would definitely have tried to get a look at Ezhia.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Fianna's magical sight picks up that Ezhia is wearing magical bracers, and a magical necklace. Also, the whole area is filled with a magical aura of abjuration. As the two men head towards the exit, Jezun spits and starts heading towards them...then Fianna points her staff that looks like a long club directly at Ezhia, and an invisible wall of force springs into existence. Everyone stops and looks at this, and Ezhia turns towards her, and takes a few quick steps towards her, with his hand on his blade. His mouth is opening and closing but no one can hear him. *bang*.. his head smashes into an invisible wall, he glances around in alarm, and shouts something that no one can hear, but looks a lot like 'Get her'.
People in the room look around in confusion, and one of the thugs behind Fianna takes a few threatening steps towards her, his blade hissing out of his sheath, "Alright Brooks....what are you on about...what'd you do?"
People around the warehouse have stopped what they're doing and are looking around in confusion.
Jezun, you can act next if you want. Ralph (Toc) looks about, but seems to be holding his action.
[Round 1 (surprise round for everyone except Fianna...done)]
Jezun is, generally speaking, following the two who are leaving the room, and readying an attack on anyone hostile, depending on how things are configured.
Jezun moving towards the two heading towards the door, plus their employer suddenly being magically silenced and seemingly stuck in behind an invisible wall is enough to make the two headed to the door panic. They turn and run, charging past the thug nearest to the door and out onto the eastern loading bay outside. Jezun pursues.
Jahren meanwhile tries to maintain the ruse...though...with Ezhia shouting furiously in silence inside his bubble, the thugs everywhere are on alert. One of them turns to Jahren, "Klassen....but...what's goin on with Ezhia and Brooks...and...besides, he's the one what knows the way...we ain't know nothin without him..."
Several Thugs in the rafters pull crossbows off their backs but as yet are unsure where to point them.
Chen, Mirica?

Chen doesn't know what precipitated this sudden hostility, but turning and seeing the thug leader in silence and banging against an invisible wall, he assumes one of his companions reacted to some threat, and he decides to do what he can to help. Climbing higher onto the wagon, Chen reaches his hands out seemingly into thin air, but in reality he grabs the edges of his cloak and uses its magic to create thick webs in the north of the warehouse.
Web targeting the area around the wagon. The spell from the cloak affects twice the area of the usual spell, so however you calculate that, just grabbing as many of the thugs as possible. (Sorry if that affects you too Mirica)

(Also, Jezun would have used a bonus action while walking over, and if not, he does so now, to use Second Wind for 11 hp back. He also ensures that his cloak of displacement is secure under the illusion.)

They all fought together enough times to recognize the words of one of Fianna's staple spells, Mirica did not have to guess what is going on. The question was, what to do about it now. There was still a chance more thugs will get smart and run away - you never know. Just in case Mirica added out loud "Ezhia's magic items malfunctioned! We are going to die here! Run for your life!"
Deception/Performance: 16 (with Guidance + 2)
Her far more subtle Spike Growth (for 5 damage ) just around the wagon hidden under the web were only to prove the point.
(Mirica: You can cast guidance on yourself, or Spike Growth, but not both with this action....unless I missed something, so let me know which you'd prefer...)

There's a general bustle of concern through the warehouse as it seems like most of the people within buy the story....as a wave of sticky magical webs sweeps across this entire section of the warehouse. Several Thugs can be seen edging towards doors and stepping outside, a couple outright fleeing....though one shouts, "That makes no sense....we're under attack...stand yer ground ya morons!"
Fianna, your action....there a mass of web that you're just outside of (Though Jahren, Toc, Mirica, and Chen are within the area. Dex DC 13 save to avoid).
Toc : 21
Over a dozen of the thugs seems stuck in the sudden webs, though a few are trying to pick themselves clear. Jezun, you can catch the two fleeing from you if you want, though you're outside in the alley at this point.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Fianna looks around at the chaos going on and thinks it is much a good result. Many have left the building, Jezun can surely stop the two going after Lacy, and if this place can get cleared out just a little bit more, surely the rest of us can take care of Ezhia once he gets out?
Fianna looks around her, trying to see everyone she can... And once more casts Seeming upon all she can see. ((Charisma save VS DC 20)) Suddenly everyone looks like Jahren or Mirica, depending on their original gender. The only difference is that herself, and her companions, all have a subtle green shamrock on their chest, on their back, and on each shoulder, so we could know who is one of us and who is not even in the heat of battle.
"It's a trap! They're everywhere! FLEE!" Fianna shouts out, trying to add to the chaos and bedlam and help encourage everyone that they want no part of what is going on! ((Deception and/or Persuasion 23 if applicable.)). Fianna will otherwise act as if she's trying to head outside while actually making very little progress other than to try to stay out of melee range of anyone...
((But my roll probably was totally not applicable and irrelevant...))
((Egads! I always tell myself to NOT roll unless asked to. It NEVER goes well. But do I listen?? Do I listen??? I'd answer the question but I obviously didn't hear myself ask it!))
Over a dozen of the people within the warehouse transforming into duplicates of Mirica and Jahren is the last straw. People glance around in panic, and then a moment later it's chaos as the Jahren and Mirica's that fill the warehouse bolt into the night along with as many of the other men who can pull themselves free of the webs. The doors are thrown open, and the pitter patter of fleeing feet fills the night air.
Mirica and Jahren however may be the ones filled with the most horror though as they see a half dozen of...themselves....running in every which direction. Jahren's own eyes meet his as he flees past...though his eyes are filled with fear. Mirica sees herself run by.....then glares around for Fianna...her butt is NOT that big!
The displacer beasts are caught up in the chaos and a Mirica and a Jahren attacked by the beasts as the creatures try to drag them to the ground.
D1 : grab : 15 vs T: 15. D1 : grab : 21 vs T: 13.
A Jahren is grabbed by the first beast, and then it drags him down onto the ground and he yells in a distinctly non-Jahren like voice.
D2 : grab : 13 vs T: 17 D2 : grab : 20 vs T: 15.
A Mirica is grabbed by the second beast, though manages to fight it off enough that it can't drag 'her' down as she curses in a rough male voice.
D2 : grab : 22 vs T: 10.
D2 : grab : 18 vs T: 10.
Though the displacer beasts seem surprised by the odd voices coming from the creature, and let up a bit, both of them looking like they may squirm free.
Meanwhile, those in the web are slowly freeing themselves as they try to flee, but several are still caught up in the web.
Ezhia watches in impotent anger as this unfolds....
(We're mostly out of initiative now. Without orders from Ezhia, the cats will not attack anyone else. Only Jezun remains in intiative as he pursues two thugs...)
Jezun, you are easily able to catch up to two thugs who are running down an alley.... your action.
Jezun absolutely runs behind the two headed to Lacy. He doesn't try to catch up to them to stop them -- he's trying to follow them to where Lacy is, and speeding to them and attacking right now will not help in that. Where are they headed and can he see any sign of her, or where she might be? When he sees what might be her, he'll race ahead of the two thugs, get between her and them, and plan to end them while keeping her safe.
(If they seem to just be running in a panic, or running to draw him away, he'll happily descend upon one of them, knocking him out, and grabbing the other to interrogate.)

Mirica was helping loading the crates too, but still kept the possibility of the fight in mind.
(If the force cage stays) the crates were left immediately, of course, and she would prepare to the battle.
