Geb is a nation well-known for being ruled by the undead, but many are surprised to find that it is also the primary source of exported fruits and vegetables for the nations bordering the Obari Ocean. While its zombie laborers have long and successfully tended to its fields, creating produce that is essential to Geb's political standing with its neighbors, some of these shipments haven't been making it to their intended destinations, and the Pathfinders have been asked to serve as neutral arbiters during an investigation that will take place near the docks of Geb's greatest port.

Southern Warehouse (Part One)
We exit Encounter Mode here...
...Swiftly, the party exits the Northern Warehouse while Zallarra busies the guards outside...
Fangor is the first to reach the Southern Warehouse, and getting up to the western double doors, sees them unlocked, and if the party moves swiftly, they can remain out of earshot of the guards!
This is a single "Assisted Check" - if you are Aiding, please tag your die roll as "Aid" and roll first - if you are Leading, please tag your die roll as "Lead" and roll last - untagged die rolls will be assumed to be the latter - don't forget to describe how you are Aiding or Leading!
Fangor:
One option is to Sneak in - rolling against a DC 18 with Stealth!
Another option is to address the creaky door - rolling against a DC 18 Crafting or DC 16 Engineering Lore check!
Frogger:
One option is to Sneak in - rolling against a DC 18 with Stealth!

Teja looks around, pointing out to Fangor various lines-of-sight that the guards might use.
Then she helps hold the weight of the door to prevent the hinges squeaking as the priest slips into the warehouse.
Assuming that Fangor is going to lead on this, as his stealth seems to be better than mine.

She pauses for about 5 seconds there.
"See, I need to work on my humor. To me that was hilarious..."

Southern Warehouse (Part Two)
A pale-skinned halfling wielding a mop pokes her head in while Frogger and Teja try to sneak inside but instead make an incredible noise.
"You there! This is a protected warehouse!" and she advances upon him threateningly while yelling "Toro - we have intruders!"
She swings the mop at them, but not to hurt per se, just "Shoo!"
And unless Frogger and Teja physically resist, she slams the double doors, and locks them!

Toro - hearing Khala yell for him - turns around mid sentence with a "Sorry" and runs to the western entrance of the Southern Warehouse - running into Valeros on his way!

Zallarra rolls her eyes for real as Toro runs off. She follows him around the corner, trying to keep in character.
Oh, there goes a bad day gone worse. What now? What is going on here? Let's everyone just calm down so we can sort this out."

Frogger does not physically resist. He's hurt and exhausted. He might not be able to survive another encounter. If Teja wants to resist, he will back her up. But otherwise, he'll just be on his way.

Teja rolls her eyes, wields her wand and stares daggers at the guard.
"[b]Enough of this insolence. If you do not have a respectful tongue in your head then I will cut it off and animate it. Perhaps then it could at least not make a fool of itself. Open up the warehouse for inspection this minute.[/.b]"

"Glorana" gets out and seeing the two guards says with a smooth feminine voice behind her mask.
I'm Glorana, cleric of the Living God Razmir. I'm here as a Student at the Geb Academy of Necromancy to study the dead for my God.
We have been sent by Master Sophos about an inquiry about rooting fruits as an exercice, to think "out of the box".
The door here was not locked, so we've entered but our foot's friend here, has unfortunately hit one of the box and loosed against hit.
So let us continue our investigation so we can quickly go back to what's important, our studies.

Interlude
Despite the party's best efforts, the jig is up.
The guards are unable to be fooled again here, and the party has to decide whether to allow themselves to be forcefully removed, or to respond to Khala and Toro with superior force.
Decide on which outcome - there is no Infamy involved in either decision.
If the Party Retreats:
The party retreat and regroup at the docks.
There remains a single entrance (open "Success" Spoilers!) that is out of earshot of the guards' post.
If the Party Uses Force:
The party succeeds here - by whatever means are described.
Granting them unrestricted access to the Warehouse.

Do they still think Dolar is a friendly Necromancer? If so I could stay and try to distract them. If not, yeah, they don't seem like bad or evil people so...

"Are you even a Necromancer?" Toro accuses Zallarra "Or was that part of your scheme here too?" He yells over to Khala "You alright over there?"
She responds "So far - Got two in the building here, one outside - You?"
Then he "Two outside here" then to Valeros "Do you have a sixth accomplice?" and starts to make moves to arrest the man "Nice and easy now!" realizing suddenly that he looks to be quite a skilled warrior, he reaches for his club.
As does Khala, giving orders now too "Let's step out of the warehouse now..." with equal caution as her partner Toro above, she moves in to make the arrest.

"YOU FORGET ME ORC FRIENDS, WAITING BEHIND YOU TO SMOOSH YOU!"
Valeros points dramatically at nothing behind Khala and Toro, and then shoves everyone, shouting, "Regroup where we received our paperwork!"
Valeros has a 20' movement speed, so he should lag anyway, but in case it doesn't happen naturally, he will intentionally lag behind the group so if anyone gets caught, it'll be him.
Retreat spoiler open - we regroup at the docks without combat, and have the option to sneak back to the unattended entrance of the Southern warehouse.
I suggest we sneak back after we've healed and cleared the Wounded conditions.

Southern Warehouse (Part Three)
...Eventually, the guards cease chasing the party - with Valeros sorely lagging behind running so heavily armored - huffing and heaving as our heroes' superior stamina - if not speed - sees them back safely to the docks, where they take a few hours to lay low...
...Selu returns from her mission, and after a brief chat says "I'm glad you didn't kill them - but I still need proof" and to that Valeros suggests a plan that involves returning after some time - just before dusk - and sneaking up from the southern side of the block, and heading to the Southeast Door - to which the party thinks is a fine idea - if their last hope for discrete re-entry!
"Be careful now - Let's stay discrete!" and Selu is off on another task, agreeing to meet back up in a couple hours time...
Fangor:
The door is securely locked and barred.
Athletics or Thievery may be rolled to Aid or Lead a single Assisted Check!
Frogger:
The cat has returned!
And is giving itself a bath in the pile of boards above you...

You think you could apply pressure to the door while someone else fiddles with the lock.
