The group of dwarves is a bit surprised by Karogur's boldness and they take a while to grudgingly move to the side. It's clear they don't think any non dwarf would enter here and now they are quite interested by the dealings that will be done in there.
Inside the candle, there is little available space. A path to the end of the room where another door awaits is cluttered by strange contraptions and large sealed boxes. All around you hum of mechanical tics and tacs drowns any other sound.
A gaunt dwarf, in red flashy but stained robes, is busily trying to open a rather complex-looking lock. He sits atop one of the larger boxes and calls down to you so he can be heard.
"I ll be right there. Just don't touch anything."
How he knows you have entered the shop with all the sound surrounding him is a mystery.
As the rest of the group moves toward the C building Cool decides to head off toward the group.
Insight check for the others to see if you pick up on anything that Cool is doing. DC 14
The couple takes a step back when it is clear that Cool is coming toward them and they listen intently to what he has to say. But they keep silent for a second too long as if waiting for the other to make the choice.
As Cool escalates things they seem to be at a loss and look around for any outside help.
Insight roll for Cool DC 15
The tree is tall with many ramifications that shadow a large part of the area.
"As I look out among the throngs of people , milling about in quite desperation, in their sad lonely lives. If you would, please, I beg you, tell me how you first knew you were in love? How did you know this person was the one?" with a sweeping gesture, Cool pointing a full 360° at the crowd, but really using it as an opportunity to scan the crowd, trying to make out who is watching and if any look hostile or angry (or coming this way, with Cool ready to go straight up the tree if things start getting dicey).
As Cool takes a careful look at the crowd to see who might not be so friendly Kathrine glimpses at an incoming boat. Seems the captain is trying to remain under the line of sight but that Kathrine caught a glimpse of the flapping flag at the top of its mast. House Cannith is coming.
Cool can see a few other "students" moving forward toward the couple and himself. They are having a hard time moving through the massing onlookers but their intent is clear.
One is an elf the others are humans. They are all clad in nondescript cloths but the hilt of large daggers can be seen at their waist.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Cool is waiting for the couple or the approaching "students" to draw weapons, before climbing the tree. In the meantime he ramps up the performance. "I don't believe either of you are what you appear to be at all! You must be actors, here for nefarious purposes! EVERYONE SHOULD FINISH THEIR BUSINESS HERE AND LEAVE THE AREA AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE!!! THERE ARE MISCREANTS IN OUR MIDST!!! VILLAINS!!! MUUURRRDEERRRSSS!!!!" Cool will continue like this even while being chased up the tree and once there will use Cunning Action to Hide.
Baraka notices Cool's shenanigans and lets out an audible sigh. He looks at the others for a bit of direction, but as Cool's charade escalates, his glaive stops spinning in his hands and what originally looked more like a prop that Baraka was using to show off, now begins to look like the deadly weapon that it is.
I m back. I ll update the game tomorrow for sure. Once again sorry for the delay.

“The mark of a successful DM is when you have caused more player deaths with doors than dragons, demons, or devils.”
"Sure, sure," Therne shouts back to the dwarf. He then moves about, maybe a little clumsily and tries not to hit or bump into anything.
