Lyss shrugs again, and makes 'sneaky walky' fingers across the palm of one hand, suiting her actions to her motions as she sneaks into position to have a good position to attack the bird if it acts a fool.

Aimee steps into the warehouse, noticing there are about a dozen bodies littered around. She’s unable to tell the exact cause of death on this body, but there is a bloody dagger in its outstretched hand. There is a black tattoo on the palm of his hand that looks like a circle with ten spokes radiating out from its circumference.
As Aimee inspects the body, all of you notice black hooded figures coming out of their hiding places, long black beaks and black feathers sticking out from their hoods.
Two of these creatures run towards Kerri and Spark, shortswords drawn, meanwhile another charges at Aimee with his short sword.
((None up on the balcony? Given what I assume these to be and their general proclivities, would Lyss recognize what they are given her roguish tendencies?))
You can see there are no assailants on the balcony
Dnee, Lyss and Kerri know what the creatures are, below
Each of you have had experiences have often put you at odds with these creatures before. Often used as hired thugs or assassins, these are Kenku, bird like people who speak through mimicry. You all feel lucky that you spotted them, as you’ve seen they can be very dangerous if they catch you by surprise.
Lyss, getting a bit of a late jump, tries to see if there is a way for her to get down to the lower level to help her friends. With just a pair of daggers, she's of limited use up here.
((Can make Acrobatics if you need it to get her down there.))

There is the rope hanging from the dolly on the balcony, which would require an acrobatics check and come down behind the two heading towards Kerri and Spark. Running round to the stairwell will require a dash, taking you behind the one going for Aimee. With your stealth you are currently hidden.
Lyss takes hold of the rope and descends, drawing daggers as her feet touch the ground.
((Depending on if she has movement, and who goes first, she'll dart forwards to get within 5 ft of one to be able to opportunity attack if they run for the others.))
Spark cackles to himself as he sees the assailants, then begins vigorously rubbing his hands together.
"Ah yes. Brigands! Testing time, heheheh . . ."
He pulls an odd sort of metal ball out of his pack, and presses something on it. He winds up and throws the ball directly towards the cloaked figures, and it lands in the ground with an anticlimactic splat. Two nozzles suddenly stick out of it, and spray a liberal helping of some disgusting looking oily substance on the floor.
(Casting grease, trying to hit as many of the enemies as possible.)

Dnee, after simply watching all that is going on, instinctively jumps at the sight of the Kenku, but chooses not to attack directly. "Hold on," he simply says, "don't harm them. Not until they harm us first." Holding his dagger in one hand, he'll move a bit closer to the Kenku to sort of stand off against them, but will ready himself for when they attack.
As her feet hit the floor, Lyss will run up and try to knife one of the bird-folk if they don't seem to be willing to play nice and listen to the big dragonborn.
As Dnee pushes past Kerri and Spark, to the left they see a hooded figure stab at Aimee with its shortsword Attack: 24 Damage: 6 Piercing damage. As he stabs at her an arrow flies into her back Attack: 18 Damage: 4
As two Dnee stands guarding his two allies, from the sneaky figures darting towards them, he feels something roll past his feet. The two attackers slip and slide as a viscous slippery goo oozes beneath them. The one on the right keeps it’s balance but the other slips, falling on its face writhing as it tries to get up.
The steady footed attacker, slips past the grease, getting up close to Dnee and Spark - it lunges at Dnee as it slips over. But Dnee is ready with his knife. Attack: 9 Damage: 5
Lysslin swings in on a rope, landing on the other side of the grease and stabbing at the fallen Birdman (you have advantage if you want to roll it)
Meanwhile, as Aimee is being set upon, her joke seems to land as her attacker falls to the floor in a fit of strange disjointed laughter. “He, HA hooha, hehehe” each syllable seemingly in a different voice
Dnee easily dodges the kenku's attack as it slips up. "You dare to harm my friends?" he bellows. As wrath emanates from Dnee's piercing eyes, he swings at the prone kenku with his dagger.
Aimee whispers back to Kerri,
"Lots of dead bodies and Lyssli sees a not so pretty bird over there!"
She points to where Lyssli pointed.
To Lyssli,
<Is it a dangerous bird?>
To Kerri,
"Do any of these dead people look like Floon to you?"
Lyss shrugs again, and makes 'sneaky walky' fingers across the palm of one hand, suiting her actions to her motions as she sneaks into position to have a good position to attack the bird if it acts a fool.

Spark moves up behind them, making a noise like a marching band consisting only of cymbals as various things in his pack clatter together.
"Idiots. Looking for someone and don’t even know who they’re looking for," he mutters under his breath.

Aimee calls out,
"Hello? Floon? Are you here Floon? Anyone? Raener? Volo sent us after we killed a troll!"
She looks around to see if she sees any maybe dangerous birds.
Perception: 9
Then heads over to look at the nearest body to see if she can make out what happened to them.

"Hey, bird person? Why do birds fly south in the winter? Cus it's too far to walk!"
