As they both follow the hin woman towards the docks Jassana says, “I’m a lot quicker on my feet than she is. I can easily catch up to her before she reaches the docks if that’s where she’s actually going. She could just as easily stop at a location that’s anywhere between here and there, though. I assume you can keep up with her if we just want to follow from this distance, but can you catch her? I‘d rather grab her off the street now if we can. Even if we follow her to some location at a distance, one she goes inside, she can easily slip away before we get there and find her. What do you think, Ankin?”
Already starting to trail behind the taller human, Ankin replies "if you get the chance, snatch her by whatever means you can - I won't be far behind with a sack".
(Ankin is not - yet - any quicker on his feet than the Hin they are following. He could dash, but that would lack subtlety).
Broki bows her head in resignation and doesn't resist as she's bound. She thinks to herself "Maybe leaving the wilderness for the big city was not such a safe move after all." She complies with all further instructions from the Guardsmen.
Barnabus relaxes his posture once threats are no longer perceived. Not seeing any way to help or diffuse the situation he steps aside and allows the watchmen to proceed with their task. As soon as he can Barnabus grabs Pomenia saying, "Aye, come on lass. I'm thinkin' we need to follow them. We'll just have to catch up with Ankin later. "
Barnabus will head out after the guards hopefully with Pomenia in tow.

“Okay, sounds good. See you soon...”, and Jassana begins to casually lengthen her stride and speed up. She takes a careful look at the hin woman, trying to notice anything about her bearing, awareness level, or apparent state of mind to determine the best way to approach her. Investigation (?) - 9
you guys get to the docks, turn a corner and see her Talking fast to a large, very large man. it's dark and hard to make out . but as he turns in the lantern light you see he has a tige of green skin and a nasty scare across his face.
The authorities leave with the Broki, Athelynn and the Eladrin in tow. the Dwarf and priestess can leave of make a statement as a witness. nobody is really paying attention to you two.

Ankin skulks (24), whispering to Jassana, "That's the guy - any ideas? You're a wizard, right, turn them into toads or freeze them solid or something".
He is a lot less cocky now it is just him and a one unarmed, unarmoured ally against the battlescarred bouncer. It'd be best not to underestimate the barmaid either; even if she didn't join a fight she might call others to their aid.
Barnabus takes Pomenia's hand and pulls the dazed cleric along after their incarcerated companions being careful not to get to close. Unsure where Ankin and Athelynn have made off too, the best idea the dimwitted dwarf can muster is to wait and stay close until a solution presents its self.
“Welllll... it’s not gonna be frozen toads, but maybe, just maybe, this will work instead. Stay nearby; I might need you soon. Just don’t let yourself be recognized by Scarface unless you have to.”
With that, Jassana sets off alone walking on a path that will lead her right past the two targets. Once she is about 20 feet away from Scarface, she casts Tensor’s Floating Disc right behind him. As Jassana passes the two who are facing each other and talking, she positions Lita between herself and Scarface. That way, when Jassana uses Prestidigitation to make a small burst of very bright sparks 10 feet away, it is right in front of Scarface’s face. Expecting him to at least flinch slightly away from the sudden brightness, Jassana then casts Sleep on Scarface and let’s him slump over safely onto the floating disc behind him. If there is enough power left in the Sleep spell, Jassana let’s it encompass Lita as well. Sleep Spell: 15
As the half-orc fell to the ground, Pomenia heard a dull ringing in her ears and her eyes flashed to the blood seeping from the wound. Pressure, clean cloth, herb poultice to prevent infection, magic if it came to it. She took half a step towards the fallen half-orc, but halted. She wasn't getting up and there was too much blood. The ringing in her ears drowned out the sounds around her and she saw others begin to move. She was only distantly aware of Barnabus pulling her away, blinking as they exited the tavern.
She let the dwarf lead her and the combination of movement and fresh air seemed to help the ringing fade. She tugged on Barnabus' arm, eyes wide, "What do we do now?"
Jassana glances towards the two as she walks by and sees Scarface pickup Lita. Jassana knows she will have to be careful with her wording to pull this off, because she isn’t that good a liar. She gasps and says, “Oh my sir! Did that woman just suddenly fall unconscious while standing there with you? She might be what is known as ‘Leshere’.” Jassana knows this is true, because Leshere is simply the Elvish word for thief, but hopefully Scarface doesn’t know that. Jassana continues, “She doesn’t have any sudden spots appearing, does she?” Jassana uses Prestidigitation to make a mark appear on a part of Lita’s face that Scarface cannot see while he’s holding her. “Oh goodness, she does! Right there on her face! Fortunately “Leshere” isn’t the sort of thing you can just catch from someone, so you and I are just fine. I really do want to resolve all this as soon as possible, though. We certainly don’t want her permanently disfigured! If you just have a place nearby where we can work in private, this can all be over soon. You see, I am a sort of mage, and I know a spell that will clear that right up, no problem! What do you say, sir?”
The big Half Orc was calling her name "Lita!, Lita!" and shaking her as you were approaching. she's coming out of it. Roll Performance or Persuasion. Roll HIGH!

Athelynn handed the sword to him. "Of course, I understand." She does as he asked.
You Keep Using That Word, I Do Not Think It Means What You Think It Means

BAM! it just came to you! not only is Scarface a bloodied warrior but Lita is a guild member of the thieves guild with all the training included.

the aarakocra is placed in a secure city watch coach. the others are in a regular coach and all drive away.
There is quite a crowd outside. the Lucky Pike. watchmen and civilian gooseneckers.

the spell goes off and Lita drops like a sack of potato's. seeing her fall Scarface reaches over to her and picks her up .
(So sorry, things got crazy for a bit.)
