Pointing at the lock, Harland casts an Acid Splash, weakening it before kicking in the door, praying that the alarm was of the silent variety.

She had simply been roaming the streets, gazing at the stars and wondering where they were taking her.
Just as she had started thinking about other things she heard a scream from somewhere close by, this finally bringing her eyes from the sky and down into the street, just in time to catch someone kicking down a door.
Curious, and certain this was the general direction of the noise earlier, she wandered over and stood behind the group, peaking as best she could to see what they were seeing.
"Lose your keys, gentlemen? Odd way for opening a door. Effective, dramatic." she said, the airiness quite obvious in her tone.
She draws her attention from the storefront to the group in front of her.
"I heard a shout. Was it one of you?"
Thanks to his acid, Harland dissolves the lock and easily kicks the door down. It would appear the acid destroyed any magical alarm that may have been there. Once the door is down, Bour rushes into the building.
You are looking through the doorway into the chaotic clutter of Winter's Magic Supply depot. No lights are on down here, though there is a light streaming down the stairs from the second floor. You can hear the distinct sounds of a struggle.
You easily manage to navigate your gecko up to the second story and follow inside. Once there, the first thing you notice is a scorch mark on the wall. The next thing you notice is Scotty, pony tail looking slightly singed but otherwise alright, grappling with a larger muscular and naked man. Winter stands on top of the bed, completely naked as well save for a wand held in her hand.
Silver calls down the gravitational protection of the stars as a magical armor.
Looking at the curious woman, he would speak to her.
Depends on our friend. I don't think I've ever heard him scream before. The owner of this establishment is a con artist and a thug, and we intend too take her down a few notches. If you make yourself useful, I'd be willing to pay you a small sum.
Surprise Round
Scotty climbs into the room and quickly realizes he is not alone... nor the only one awake. Winter, the shop owner, and the guard you saw before are in bed and busy doing the dirty. Upon seeing him, Winter rises up in anger, grapping a wand from the bedstand, and sending a cone of fire right at him. Scotty manages to duck just in time to avoid the flames. Ass soon as the flames subside, the guard rushe forward and grapples Scotty.
Jammy manages to rear his gecko up the wall and into the room, following Scotty. He gasps and readies for battle when he sees what is unfolding.
Harland - throws a glob of acid at the door lock, melting the lock and allowing the door to be opened, but also apparently setting off an alarm... Harland then kicks in the door.
Bour - realizing now is the time for action, he charges into the room, shield and saber at the ready. He quickly hears the sounds of battle from upstairs.
Dr. Silver - invokes the powers of THE BEYOND and shrouds himself in magical armor, like a G.
Aurora - Sees this all happening as she is taking a midnight stroll, and decides she should probably see what is going on.

Jamako, remaining near the window for a quick getaway, lashes out with arcane energy to crack a flamewhip at the nude woman. Upon missing, he pretends it was a miss on purpose. "Consider yourself warned, breeder. Drop the wand and surrender." He narrows his gaze, nostrils spouting a gout of smoke.
*Still speaking to Aurora.* Of course, the offer extends to after this little encounter of ours, if you are so inclined. For now, though... Nods too her and calmly walks into the building and to the stairs... From Jamako's statement, he would assume the woman was alone and was currently surrounded by half the party. He would slide a vial of oil from his spell component pouch, though... if anyone tried to run down the stairs, maybe he could make them slip and fall and break their neck.

Aurora peers in after them, content on standing in the doorway and watching.
Not really being one for battle, she hadn't prepared any spells for this kind of situation.
But she was there, and while she could easily walk away something compelled her to stay and watch. It probably had a good deal to do with the man who just coated himself in stars.
Since she had nothing to do with why they were doing what they were doing, she looked around the inside of the store with mild-interest, easily distracted from the chaos in front of and above her.
She finally decided to calmly step in and close the door behind her, for whatever good it did, since it wouldn't stay shut after being kicked in and subjected to acid. She considered casting Make Whole on it, but settled for using her foot to keep it closed instead.
"Surrender now, Winter! There can yet be mercy! The void knows mercy well!"
"GET OFF ME YOU NAKED SONAB+!$~!"
Scotty grapples with the muscled, and naked, man. Trying to get a chance to use his knives on the guy.
He slips out of the man's grasp and tumbles out of his reach.
Round 1
Jammy - from atop his noble steed, the mighty Kobold mage motions and chants arcane gibberish as his eyes begin to glow in a mighty red aura. He then proceeds to not hit anyone with his whip, but rather, decides to send an intimidating message. He's a nice guy like that.
Dr. Silver- Moves up to the stairway and yells at the vile witch.
Scotty - Yells his frustrations at being held by a naked man, and then quickly gets out of that situation and tumbles to the corner of the room, readying his knives as he does. *thicka-thwap*.
Harland - speaks with the new stranger, and as he does, pulls out a vial as he prepares to react if needed.
Aurora - possibly with a look of reluctance, the elf slips into the building and closes the door behind her.
Bour -
