Imbukar, at the window of the cabin casts Open/Close on the window. (This would open a latch but not a lock). If the window opens he will fly in using stealth and have a look around.

The place is a mess, sheets almost torn and hanging off the edge of the bed. It is clear that the gnome had her way with the sailor, at least at first. There is a clear incision under the rib cage on the left side, and it appears a few flecks of black stuff surrounds the wound. It is not blood, but you are not yet sure what it is. The fighting goes on outside, you can hear music being played, briefly, before it stops in mid-harmony. No one notices the bird flapping around inside a room.
Calendir takes a step back, placing himself next to Alli - he softly whispers to Lagash to attack the thug - Kill... - and lets fly an uncanny barrage of arrows at the thug.

The torrent of damage unleashed on the poor fellow is incredible. The first shot takes the thug in the shoulder. As he comes up (dagger still in thigh), your second mark hits him right in the chest, piercing a heart valve. At the same time, Lagash bites deeply into his leg. The man is dead before he hits the ground, never knowing, in his confusion, what hit him.
"Yes, of course", Ruul replies with a glance at the birthmark.
The minotaur casts a nod of gratitude at Numair when his spell renders the attacker temporarily blind. The bull steps into the hallway and grabs the staggering blinded Diggory.
[dice=Grapple vs Blinded Diggory]1d20+12
Digory, in his state, is no match for your strength and you easily get him into a holding position . He cries out in pain and his inability to see anything. He attempts to lash out at you, but he has no real idea where you are or if it is you that is causing him this pain.
Adding and adding: 1d8+10

Numair dances backward, forced to adjust to keep his balance. He uses the delay to recall anything about the "Harbinger."
I do not know what foul god you worship, Digory, but you'll meet him soon. Surrender to Sarenrae's mercy or I shall cut you down
He tries again to overtake Digory, and raises his blade threateningly.
Swift Action: declare smite vs Digory
Move action: Tumble to M7, trying to go around.
Pass thanks to Lavinias Blind lowering his CMD
Standard action: Ready to attack Digory if he rejects my terms.

Ally trills a song of triumph as she sees the thug fall, then turns her attention to his comrade, casting a spell to cloud his mind.
She then flutters into the cabin where Imbrukar and the dead body are. She lands by poor Niles and sighs. "Poor boy. I had no idea. I knew she was a little bit evil but I thiught it was just maybe pickpocketing or petty burglary or something ..."
Elen will move past Ruul and Digory to the open central area, dropping her coil of silk rope next to Shamil. "Tie her up too, sweetie, " she suggests, and touches Ruul with her wand casting Mage Armor.

Digory only cries out in pain, being held by the minotaur only adding to his problems. He is not a man used to being in this kind of position.

"Whoah, what jus' hit me?"
You move into the room with Imbukar and see the sailor, flat on his back, you're not sure if he ever saw his death coming. The imp, in raven form, indicates to you the knife wound in his side.

The wizard 5' steps to D 6 and, calling upon his bonded item, casts Chain of Perdition, causing a spiked chain of force to appear in F 8. It attacks the gnomish bard attempting to drag him into the hall.
If this beats the bard's CMD he is dragged into the hall. If it beats the CMD by 5 he is dragged all the way to E 7.
Then the wizard uses his shift ability to pop in behind the gnome bard (F 7) and threaten him with his sword, hopefully in a flank with the captain. There he demands Surrender or be cut down!
Move to F 7
Speaking to Ally in common Imbukar communicates what he has noted about the fate of the sailor. He will then fly to Azaraunt's shoulder and report in to Macavity on the status below.

Numair's s deadly serious and he makes this clear with a shallow slice across the fop's leg.
Perhaps I wasn't clear before. Drop your weapon and get on the ground. A man is dead and I want to know why. You will have my protection while I determine the truth. If you are guilty, I will still guarantee a fair judgement. Surrender!
Ally nods as the wizard's companion indicates the wound. Animosity is forgotten, at least for the moment, in light of their common purpose. She examines it more carefully, stepping gingerly around the pools of blood on the floor.
Kalli watches the general melee but remains where she is, her rapier set against the gnome's throat, in case she wakes.

You are able to easily wrap the chain around Roondar and you begin to drag him across the floor. You caught him in the middle of attempting to tend to his wounds. He has a bloody arrow in one hand and a flask in the other, presumably some type of healing aid. He is thoroughly cowed at this point and drops the arrow to indicate he is no threat.

Imbukar will gladly assist Ally if she asks. He has not performed a standard action.
Ally will ask Imbrukar for assistance, inquiring as to how fast he felt the death occur and whether he has any idea about what those black marks are.
Elen will move to the door of Shamil's cabin, glancing in and checking on Ally. She rhen directs her eldritch effect to the mind of the thug standing to Azaraunt's left trying to send him to join Shamil in dreamland.
Ally will ask Imbrukar for assistance, inquiring as to how fast he felt the death occur and whether he has any idea about what those black marks are.
Imbukar, still invisible will assist Ally, pointing out characteristics of the wound and the black residue that is clearly not blood. Also taking 10 his heal check is an 11, for +2 to Ally's role.
The lovestruck sailor never saw it coming. Poor sap. The strike was sudden and resulted in death immediately. I suspect an assassin. I wonder who gave him the crazy idea that it was safe to go near that tigress.
Macavity continues survey the sky, shore, river, and topside especially including the stairs from the passenger deck.
Drinking the potion will provoke an attack of opportunity, and Azaraunt will take it, and encourage the captain to do so as well. He does not yet surrender captain. Strike him.
Roondar turns pale as the point strikes home. His wounds appear deep, but he is able to weakly hold the potion in his hand, barely able to move.
This time, I'll step up and do my doody, *giggle* this most thick of creatures thinks to himself.
Well, Captain Blackbeard, it looks like I'll have to do my doody." The poor, drooling mass starts to giggle again.
"Ooh sleepy time," the wizened buffoon says before slumping down in front of the captain.
Looking over the slumped floor, Teach blows out a puff of air, faintly moving his whiskers. "Well, it looks like I don't need to worry about that.He looks the hall at the rest of you. "Any of you hurt?"
