Hajar follows behind far enough to not be too conspicuous
Inside this massive, farther than you can sense room, is towering stacks of crates and wooden containers. The building’s floor is of hard-packed sand over stone. Some areas are completely open, while others are veritable mazes of crates stacked all the way up to the ceiling twenty feet above.
Lightning from the clouds flashes white light over the city of Katapesh, and booming thunder quickly follows. But the lighting stays in the heavy dark clouds above.
So Nasir doesn't see the paladin following her, nor the street beggars, nor inside the warehouse (for this area).
Confound it, get above 50%, at least!
The gathering storm above rumbles, the thunder getting closer, as the adventurers look across the street at the One Source Warehouse, Nasir and Hajar the only ones close enough to see a single light turn on back around the front.
Hajar moves to investigate the light.
Bartan will follow Hajar, hoping the paladin isn't leading them to their deaths.
Khayal will stay near his brother. Hands near his kukris.
He looks around for any sight of danger.
The light came from the One Source Warehouse's front door. Someone opened the door, looked at the dark sky above, and closed it again.

It's kinda hard for someone putting that much sway in their hips to not catch Yazi's eye, even with them having slightly more important things on the table at the moment. Mmmm, on the table...
"Well hellllllllllooooooo, what's a fine look-wait, Rose?!" Yazi's face goes from on interest, to confusion, and back to interest as the dancer returns.

*cough*
Khayal looks at the two ladies crossly.
Bartan rolls his eyes at Yazi's forgetfulness, and readies to enter the building with the others.
Khayal stacks up on the door and then nods to his brother ready to go in.
Hajar shoves at the door, attempting to gain entry.

Leading the bound man over a ways where he'd be out of the rain with some cover she ties him off. "Okay, if you'll be a good boy and behave I'll make sure you get a treat when we come back out." With that she'll give the thug a kiss on the forehead before rejoining her friends in storming the warehouse.
As Hajar bangs on the front door, footsteps are heard, and the door swings open. A beefy human peers out of the doorway, nearly shouting, "We're closed. Come back in the morning, dumba-. Wait." The large man stares at the figure in front of the door.
The guard recognizes Hajar, evidently from a description. He's hostile towards him.
SURPRISE ROUND
Init:
"Get lost, loser." the guard sneers.
Hajar barges in!
Hajar shoves the man backwards!
You will give me back the Scroll! he shouts
Everyone else in the adventuring party sees the paladin push the man back into the warehouse office.
The storm crackles above the city, the heat lightning showing flashes of daylight brightness among the streets.
ROUND ONE
Init:
You push the One Source thug into a dimly light room with a large desk in the center. A pair of leather chairs sits to the east, while to the west is a long table. There is a large door to the North, and a normal-sized one to the West.
The thug, pushed to one side of the table, snarls and pulls out a short sword.
Khayal move past his brother. and swings at the thug before him.
Khayal barely missing the man's neck instead contacting his shoulder.
The thug staggers briefly from the blow that opens up his shoulder and chest. But despite the opening gash across his front, he continues to stand.
Hajar draws Tempest and smacks the Thug with the flat of the blade
Blade of Mercy (APLF 9): When striking to inflict nonlethal damage with any slashing weapon, you do not take the normal –4 penalty on your attack roll, and gain a +1 trait bonus to any nonlethal damage you inflict with a slashing weapon.
Bartan tries to follow Nasir's lead, somersaulting through the doorframe.
Unfortunately he's nowhere near as agile as her, and likely gets smacked by the thug on his way through.
Assuming he does eventually end up inside the room, Bartan charges his deck with cold, arcane energy, then draws a card and lets it fly at the man.

Khayal ran in and struck the door-opener, Nasir tumbles into the room, Bartan following her. The thug in the room, having already swung at Khayal and missing, was unprepared for both Nasir and Bartan. He took the hit, the playing card slashing across his chest, leaving a frozen trail in its' wake. Rayhan went to the door outside, Yazi beating him to the doorway. Hajar's blade collapsed the thug.
ROUND TWO
Init:
Rayhan came in and closed the door behind him and Yazi. "Quietly, my friends." he cautioned. "We do not want the city guards to find us before we can prove the One Source Guild holds the Scroll."
A large desk stands in the center of the room. A pair of leather chairs sits to the east, while to the west is a long table. The room is lit with lamps, but remains dim. Doors are to the North and West.
Someone is opening and closing a door to the North, beyond the door to this room.
Khayal moves north and opens the door.
Hajar follows his brother, Tempest at the ready.
These thieves will rue their actions. he growls.
Bartan pulls out his wand of frigid touch and follows the two brothers.
