Pulling her hood tightly around her face, Annett waits as the others reconnoiter Candle Lane. Wrinkling her nose at the smell wafting from the alley, she whispers quietly more to herself than anyone else. "Ugh. You'd think the mighty Zhents and all their hidden wealth could pick a less revolting place for a hideout."
Despite her quip, she does her best to scan the darkness for any sign of guards or hidden traps, but her eyes can't really penetrate the gloom of the alley. Instead she heeds Dacknar's warning and draws her rapier as the group moves toward the warehouse entrance.
At Dacknar warning Tooks pulls a dagger and moves forward, 'Time to bring things to a head'
As Gramm walks toward the warehouse he finds it difficult to makr out anything of substance. He slows his pace and tries to listen for any sign of activity inside.
With a puzzled look, Annett looks at the unlocked gate and then further toward the warehouse. "Hmmm...does anyone else find it odd that this is unlocked?" She whispers. "The Zhents are usually a bit more security and secrecy conscious than this. Unless they're just trying to lure us in..." She adds, trailing off to look around for a window or some other way of seeing into the warehouse.
Took pats Gramm on the shoulder, taping his foot softly just before, a jumpy Gramm is dangerous thing.
"I think we need to move in, we are at a tipping point, waiting will change everything"
"I thinkin' that th' Zhents might 'ave stuck thar noses into somewhere it does nah belong 'n it got bit off."
Dacknar moves forward and walks through the gates to the door but keeping his eyes open.
Dacknar points to his ears and points to the 2nd story of the warehouse. To alert the others of the noise.

Rakdon will stand back with his bow ready in case something comes his way, if they look like they are evil he will shoot. He will stereotype. Orcs (but not half-orcs) and Goblins, Lizardfolk, Drow, Dragonborn, Duegar will be shot on sight even if they don't have weapons drawn. As well any creature that is monstrous, like Trolls, Ogres, monstrosities and the like.
here is the arrow if he does shoot.
Moving back quietly, Kaine will surge forward, sparing a couple of glances to see it he is seen as he leaps across the gap.
Rapier at the ready, Annett follows the others inside keeping her back to the wall and just to the side of the entrance while she waits for her eyes to adjust to the darkness of the seemingly abandoned warehouse.
Looking down on the other's Kaine waits for them to get into position and enter the building, and then he will find his own way in.
"Remember everyone, we wants at least one alive fer questionin'. everyone ready? Good lets go."
Dacknar checks the door for any traps and then heads in making little noise as possible, looking for the stairs since he heard some one up there.
Gramm follows the others insid, rapier drawn.
Took moves into the room behind Gramm, and the air around his right hand begins to freeze.

Initiative
As Dacknar kicks the door open, he spots movement among the crates! Took and Annett do as well, but the others do not see anything in the darkness until it is too late!
Surprise round, Kaine, Dack, Annett, and Took may act!
Kaine, you are upstairs but can see over the railing and have advantage on your first attack!
EDIT: Map updated.
Initiative Order:
Rakdon -> Unmei -> Dacknar / Kaine -> Took -> Bad Guys -> Gramm / Annett
Kaine draws his bow and takes aim at one of the enemies before the group enters, preparing to strike during the confusion. When the door explodes inwards, he looses his arrow at Red.
Annett steps further into the warehouse, her eyes quickly adjusting to dimly lit storage room. Quickly spotting one of the lurking birdmen, she rushes along the wall and quickly sends a dagger flying toward the vitals of one of the gang members.
Dacknar moves forward to the bird man(green) and does a two handed over head swing.
"Looks like we be havin' bird fer grub tonight."

Annett slips to the side and hurls her dagger at Green and he squawks in surprise as it buries itself to the hilt in his thigh!!!
EDIT: The kenku barely has a chance to register the dagger in his thigh, when Dacknar cleave through him from nose to crotch!
Map updated.
Initiative Order:
Rakdon -> Unmei -> Dacknar / Kaine -> Took -> Bad Guys -> Gramm / Annett
EDIT^2: Waiting for Took!
Took steps out of the door and hurls an Eldritch Bolt.
.
He feels a little bad for the little vagabond birds.

Took calls upon the forces offered by his patron, summoning a burst of eldritch energy and hurls it into the chest of Purple!
The Kenku stumbles back a bit then aims its bow at the half-elf!
Took dives to the side, narrowly avoiding the arrow! He lands hard on his side, though, and has a sharp pain in his ribs!
Red spins to return fire on Kaine, despite the rogue having cover!
Before Kaine can fully duck behind cover, the kenku lets an arrow fly! The rogue feels is just graze his head as he pulls himself behind the railing!
Yellow and Blue pop out from behind the cover of the crates in front of them and let loose arrows!
Blue's arrow ricochets off Dacknar's sword as he swats it out of harm's way, but the half-orc realizes that he may have exhausted himself more than he intended to...
As Yellow shoots his bow at Took, the half-elf's quick movement throws off its aim and he misses!
Took rolls over and winces, before moving behind cover.
"Hibernation time my fine feathered friends"
He reaches into his cloak where the un-melting ice-cycle sits and casts sleep centered on the blue
Dacknar roars with an arrow sticking out of him sees another bird man (purple) standing there with a bow. He runs up to him ripping the arrow out of his side as he runs and cleaves into the bird man.
Yelling out "You will now know why they fear the name Dacnar, feather brain!"
