    Erdan lightly walks over and peers into the nearby open skylight. Inside he sees the large open room of the warehouse, with a balcony on the second story overlooking the room on the north and east sides; stairs on the far side of the warehouse lead between the floors. Four cloaked figures stand with their backs to Erdan, seemingly crowding around a storage closet under the stairwell.

    One of the figures shoves against the door but rebounds off before setting his feet to try again. As it gets ready to shove the door again, Erdan notices a long black beak poking out of the hood of the cloak, and that it has strange bird-like feet.

    Spoiler: Kenku

    By the description, everyone recognizes the creatures as Kenku. Kenku are raven people without wings. Some Kenku work as dockhands and sailors. You know that Kenku mimic the voices of others.

    The group stays in the alley, with Erdan maintaining his position on the roof, waiting for the occupants of the warehouse to leave. About fifteen minutes pass before Erdan hears what sounds like a barrel falling over and an orcish voice yell “Someone’s in the back! Break the door down!” Followed by the sound of ravens screeching.
    Hans turns to the others and whispers, "Hold here, they don't need to know there's four of us." Without waiting for a reply, he quickly but briskly turns the corner and strides along the east wall, Dunning-Kruger effect in full force, trying to appear as if he knew exactly what he was doing.

    Squig silently watches Hans disappear around the corner. She lets out a short sigh, growing more curious and anxious with each passing second. Hopefully Hans and Erdan return soon. She fiddles with the silver key inside her cloak as she listens for their voices.

    Erdan backs away slowly from the open window and lightly walks back over to the edge. "We got bird people" he says in a tone that conveys his obvious distrust in the avian type. He goes on to explain what he saw inside. "You wanna go in through the door while i keep an eye from above?" he suggests

    What the f...? As Hans just turns the corner and walks away.
    "Hans" Dengar Whispers "Where the hell are you going?"
    Dengar moves to the corner Hans previously occupied and peeks around., trying to keep an eye on him in case this goes awry.

    Dengar hears Erdan about the bird people and doesn't know to expect. New experiences everyday around here

    Bird people?! Maybe they’re Kenku... Squig wonders. She whispers back to Erdan, Dengar and Carric. ”We could follow them and see where they go... ambushing them might be dangerous.”

    Hans turns back to Dengar and whispers, "They're already onto us. Get ready." He inches his way up the wall, working his way toward the northeast corner, where he can get a glimpse of the front doors.

    Hans approaches the northeast corner of the warehouse and checks around the corner toward the office door. The street is well-lit, with the occasional stumbling drunk and guard patrol the only signs of activity at this hour. Hans realizes that, should it be locked, forcing the door open may cause enough noise to draw attention.

    On the roof, Erdan hears more ruckus coming from the first floor of the warehouse. He hears a heavy pounding as the inhabitants of the warehouse continue to try to break down a door in the back.

    Hearing the continuous banging on the back door, Hans quickly abandons his advance to the north side. He unsheathes his longsword as he makes his way back to the southern wall, where he positions himself with his back against the east side of the southeast corner.

    "Hans, what's up with that door? Think we can get in and surprise them?"
    Dengar mimes like he's lock-picking but being completely un-knowledgeable on how to do so he ends up making just a key turning motion.

    "Hans, what's up with that door? Think we can get in and surprise them?"
    Hans groans. "Let me check. Holler if you need me." Hans whips around and scurries back to the north wall from where he came. He approaches the office door and gives it a jiggle, examining whether or not it's locked.

    With his free hand Hans grasps the door handle and lightly jiggles it. The handle refuses to budge and is clearly locked. The paint on the door is peeling in some places, indicating that it has seen better days.

    Squig rolls her eyes. So much for following them. She moves to the southeast corner and peeks around to keep an eye on Dengar.

    We need a plan, quick.

    Hans scurries back south. He plants himself next to Squig and whispers, "We're sitting ducks here. We can hide over there," nodding his head toward the north side of the building. "Door's locked, we'd hear them coming."

    "Then we should probably move now" Dengar readies himself to make a move motioning for the others to go as well

    Erdan sees one of the kenku slam against the door, but again fails to break it open, bouncing to the side from the recoil. "Surrender now and maybe we'll spare ye!" one of the kenku yells at the door in a thick dwarven accent. One of the other kenku rummages through a nearby crate and pulls out a crowbar.

    Dengar whispers to Squig and Hans nearby "I'm hearing a lot of noise in there. We might want to get moving. Hans, let's bust this door down. Squig, get whatever you wanna throw in there ready." Looking up towards the roof "Erdan, rain hell when we bust in."

    Hans nods. "I pity us if we can't handle a few birds." He takes a few steps back, waiting to shoulder the door with Dengar.

    "I'm right behind ya! Let's do this!" Squig says to Dengar and Hans. Squig moves to stand 5 feet behind the two with the door in sight. Reaching for the key with her left hand, she stretches out her right hand and feels the familiar chill build up through her arm.

    Hans takes a deep breath and sprints forward with Dengar, shoulders aimed at the door, aiming to blow right through it.

    Together, Hans and Dengar charge at the warehouse door, impacting it with such tremendous force that the hinges break free from the frame. They stand atop the broken door in a small dark reception room, the only light coming from the street behind them. Rats skitter about from the sudden disturbance.

    The walls are covered with a peeling green and yellow wallpaper with flower designs; a few shelves adorn the walls, holding nothing but a thick layer of dust. An empty desk and various chairs are strewn about. To their right is a door that leads to the offices, a silver bell sits above the door, a string leading from it into the wall. In front of them is a closed door, a sign hanging above that says "Warehouse - 2nd Floor."

    ---

    On the rooftop, through the skylight Erdan sees the kenku with a crowbar step towards the door. It raises the bar, places one end in the doorjamb near the knob and pushes, causing the door and jamb to splinter apart, allowing the door to swing open and pushing back the man that was attempting to hold it shut. At nearly the same time, Erdan hears a loud impact coming from the northern side of the warehouse. The kenku do not seem to notice the noise of his companions breaking into the second floor; the sound of the kenku breaking in the door appearing to have covered their trespass.

    Once the door is open, Erdan hears the voice of a human man challenging "have at you!" at the kenku, and he sees the tip of a rapier pierce past the opening. The kenku that forced the door open narrowly avoids the thrust to its chest and in an orcish voice replies "He's the one, take him alive!" and they all draw short swords.

    The human man yells "you'll never take me alive!" and assumes a defensive posture, almost daring the kenku in front of him to challenge him. Erdan sees that he is using the doorway defensively, to prevent himself from being harried from multiple angles.

    Hans rushes towards the eastern balcony so to look over the first floor.

    "Good evening fellows and feathered fellows! Sorry to break in. We're here to collect the man-harlot called Floon and we'll be right on our way. Which of you is Floon?" He asks as he wags his finger in a circle around the cohort of people below.

    Hans bursts through the (luckily unlocked) door in front of him and approaches the balcony to announce himself. On the first floor he sees the four kenku below him, one standing in front of a broken door right below Hans and the others fanned out around the door, weapons drawn.

    At the base of the southern and eastern walls of the first floor of the warehouse, under the second floor balcony, Hans sees the bodies of various humans, kenku, and elves.

    At Hans' announcement, three of the kenku look up, one of them shrieking "Damn Zhents! Kill 'em!" in a female elven voice. The kenku closest to the stairs runs to the base of the stairs and assumes a defensive posture. Two of the others drop their swords and pull shortbows off of their backs and each let an arrow fly at Hans. The smallest of the kenku appears to be unprepared, and in it's haste to fire at Hans it terribly misses the mark. The other kenku is more prepared and takes a second to line up his shot. The shot appears true, but lodges into one of the wooden posts of the balcony in front of Hans.

    The last kenku attempts to slash at the human man with it's short sword. The human man appears cocky and steps back as he lifts his sword to intercept the kenku's blade. He hears Floon's name and it breaks his focus; not watching where he is stepping, his foot lands on a tapestry hanging over a crate and gets caught as he tries to maneuver, leaving enough of an opening for the kenku to slash across with its blade, cutting easily through the mans red tunic and leaving a gash across the mans chest. He lets out an "Arrgh!" but remains standing.

    Squig rushes to the balcony door and slides through the threshold on her belly, arriving close enough to the edge to peek over. That man might be Floon! She clutches the silver key with her left hand and opens her right palm to focus a freezing chill on the Kenku closest to the human man.

    A bitterly cold frost covers a creature you can see, forcing them to make a Constitution save. On failure, it takes 1d6 cold damage and has disadvantage on the next weapon attack roll it makes before the end of its next turn.

    Peeking over the edge, Squig is able to see the four kenku one the first floor. After slashing at the man, the kenku begins to feel a cold chill surround it's body, but it is hardy enough that it is able to shake off the cold without much effect.

    Dengar steadies himself on the wood post just as it's hit with an arrow. He spots the Kenku who took up defense at the base of the stairs.
    He uses the post at the end of the railing to make the corner quickly. Raising his greatsword above his head he brings it down from above towards the kenku at the base of the stairs, using his rush off the top stair for more forward momentum.

    The kenku’s eyes go wide at the sight of a large human with a greatsword leaping toward it from the top of the stairs with a downward strike. It raises its sword feebly to deflect the blow, but the force of Dengar’s greatsword easily pushes it away and connects with the kenku’s neck, driving down diagonally into the middle of its torso, leaving a gaping tear in its body as blood gushes out. It screeches horribly before the life fades from its eyes as Dengar lands atop it, the kenku’s lifeless body softening his landing.
