Sky gives a smile trying to appear innocent as he says, “We ran into these Kobolds who attacked us, we were so scared. And there’s more, they had a leader who got away, used magic to create fog and disappear.”
Sure. you quickly tie it up to an arrow and shoot it into the air. Go ahead and make a straight dex check to see how your aim is with the arrow being off balance.
The guards watch Zin pull an arrow back and instinctively raise their weapons shouting "Lower your weapons!" Sky give me a persuasion check at disadvantage because they are on high alert and are giving commands to stand down.
(I messed up.....that should have been disadvantage. Do you want me reroll or just use the lowest among those two numbers?)
(Yeah we will just use the lower which makes it a 9)
The guards bring their weapons into combat positions. "You lot stay where you are, don't move!" he turns his head to a few others. "You two head down the street, see if you can find out where she went." The two Crownsguard take off running down the street past you all, leaving several with weapons at the ready. "The watchmaster is on his way, he'll decide what we do with you!"
"We have a living proof over here." Says Nikolas, pointing at the Kobold. "I can wait here, but it sounds like people are dying and we're standing here, not even trying to help."
A second group of guards come running from the end of the street that the goliath ran to lead by a male gnome in decorated armor. "We've got the situation under control at the prison." he says hearing Nikolas. "I'm Watchmaster Bram Gulchswattle." Looking you all over, seeing the dead kobolds and your weapons and armor, he continues "What happened here, did you all see where Sken ran to?"
These creatures we're armed with explosives and no intentions of peaceful resolve. We took action to defend ourselves before any chance of knowing what was happening. They appeared and attacked after saying " They've seen too much!"
“If Sken is their leader than no, they made a clouds of fog and buggered off.” Sky tells the guards as he tries to remain as peaceful looking as possible
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
"I see....Stand down. I believe they had nothing to do with the breakout, and in fact may have provided us with some answers." he says pointing to the struggling kobold.
He walks over and begins to question the kobold "Who hired you to break Sken out of the Gearhole? Where were you going with her?" (Intimidation check: 16)
The kobold snarls and replies in a very harsh language (do any of you speak draconic?)
(Ah yes, surprisingly, it seems like Nikolas does know Draconic. Did not expect to find out he does when I went to check the character sheet. It looks like Loran knows Draconic as well. That's it.)
"We'll see how tight lipped you'll be after time in the hole. Sgt, take our new prisoner back to the Gearhole and lock him up, we'll let the scourgers have a go at him."
After Bram gives his order he turns to you all. "You all seem capable, I have a job offer if you're willing to help the empire. The escaped goliath is Sken Zabriss, a prisoner of war. She was spying for the dynasty when we captured her here. We never found out what her mission here was. The kobolds struck shortly after our shift change so they must have had some inside knowledge. I can offer a bounty of 500gp, with half up front, if you can hunt down and bring Sken back, as well as investigate who was responsible for breaking her out."
As he finishes speaking the guards hauling the kobold away suddenly cry out" What the hell!!" You all turn to look and the Kobold has gone limp in their arms with a crossbow bolt thru its neck.
Bran quickly spins in the direction of the shot in time to see a figure jump off a not to distant roofline.
"Verdammt!!! Drop that and go after them!!"
Looking back to the group shaking his head "That was our best lead.Will you take the job?"
Welp, guess work always finds you. It is my duty to protect the Empire, I have no issue with accepting this job. I cannot speak for the others though. *Looks at the group awaiting an answer*
(Before answering the question, could we get a check to attempt to notice the attack?)
"We would be happy to help," Loran agrees with Zinhorn, he frowns somewhat sorrowfully, obviously concerned about the bombing in the street, and looks in the direction of the explosion, "did anyone get caught in the explosion and need help?" Before he gets a chance to finish the sentence, the shouts from the guards cut him off, and he just get a glimpse of the attacker fleeing away. "No, for sure," he says worriedly, and turns to the party, "we should follow."
Agreed, do you have any information about this Sken you are willing to provide? More the better, looks, known associates, even establishments they might have visited at some point.

You pull back and release your arrow up into the air, arching it up and over the rooftops just as it explodes.

"We were attacked by the Kobolds. I tried to warn them that we will fight back, but they didn't stop. As for Sken, I do not know who Sken is."

Loran understands Draconic. He stands at the side quietly but will listen for what the kobold is saying.
For Loran and Nikolas:
I don't answer to you gnome. My master will bring this city to its knees.

You all do notice the attack on the kobold, and managed to just catch the shooter fleeing the distant rooftop
