Am using Bargain Hunter, so this is not really earned income. I will buy tools at a discount per below.
Bargain Hunter:
Source Core Rulebook pg. 258
Prerequisites trained in Diplomacy
You can Earn Income (page 236) using Diplomacy, spending your days hunting for bargains and reselling at a profit. You can also spend time specifically sniffing out a great bargain on an item; this works as if you were using Earn Income with Diplomacy, except instead of gaining money, you purchase the item at a discount equal to the money you would have gained, gaining the item for free if your earned income equals or exceeds its cost. Finally, if you select Bargain Hunter during character creation at 1st level, you start play with an additional 2 gp.

Would like to use diplomacy to placate the child and mother.

"You've got your hands full, ma'am. May I?" Dar gestures with his waterskin to the thirsty child.
"You spilled some of your drink, would you like to have mine?" As he asks, he interposes himself between the child and Garrla. He kneels down to be at eye height with them. "Look at this; I can make you a toy, too!" And the sorcerer uses prestidigitation to make a ball.

Dar will try to calm Vurna down. He whispers to her: "Please try to breathe, Miss Vurna. We've spent a lot of time together recently to get you well enough to travel; you know I wouldn't knowingly steer you wrong."

How many NPCs remain to get out? Five, is that correct?
(1) Isn't Garrla a guard? Can she just go out as a guard? If not, can't we make use of her uniform? Presumably, she has more than one; I can't think of any guards, IRL, who have merely a single uniform. If either Garrla or someone else can get through as a guard, that leaves four (or less if we can use multiple uniforms).
(2) Gita and Jeeves are right. Using Ellvard's history as a lever might be useful.
(3) Hiding 2 people in 2 empty barrels leaves only two more people to get through.

Baralbus moves up behind his bully boys. He starts to chant, long and low. As he does so he forms a ball of flame between his hands which leaps over the thugs and strikes directly at Harsk!

1. Working to treat disease on Vurna. She ic currently as stage 2 of filth fever. She can up and move around but it would be dangerous to try and get her out through the port given the chance she could fall ill again. Requires someone trained in medicine with healers tools.
He was talking to the receptionist, he didnt like being interrupted.
I don't understand the scene here. Maybe it's moot. But, scenario success obviously hinges on social interactions with NPCs; so, I'd like to have a better handle on what's going on.

No. He wasn't talking to her. I spoke with the receptionist because he interrupted us. According to your post, he was literally shaking Jeeves' hand and asking him a question. My post immediately followed; he didn't have time or opportunity to chat with the receptionist again.

At the mention of Themolin the well dressed man smiles and turns and shakes Jeeves hand. Why hello there, my name is Barralbus, what sort of business could the likes of you have with my esteened colleague?

I'm confused. Why is he mad? He was talking to Jeeves. I was talking to the lady. Is there not enough space in here for more than once conversation at a time? I was very polite.

With a congenial smile, Dar addresses the receptionist with a tone meant to convey his respect for both her effort and the accountant's packed calendar. "Thank you for your help, ma'am. It's a terrible shame that Master Themolin's schedule is so full. I'm sure he'd like to hear from us. Is there, perhaps, a small window of opportunity to see him?"

He seems to be on the verge of tears.
The human sorcerer tries to offer some words of solace: "There there, my friend. We all sometimes experience difficulties communicating effectively with each other. It's alright. Let's see what we can do to help each other."

Hearing the drinking and smelling the ale, Dar thinks for a moment, "I could use a good drink." Then he shakes his head. "But, for now, it is more important to remain clear and sharp for the sake of Vurna's health."

I am willing to spend as much time on this as is required. Healing is what my character cares most about.
If this needs to be a secret check, my bonus is +6 for medicine or +7 with tools. I am willing to spend a hero point if the secret check is low. Not sure what your SOP is for hero points and secret checks.

"Sir, my friends noticed that there may be need of help here." The human gestures to the symbol of Sarenrae that he wears. "I am trained in the healing arts. Perhaps we can be of assistance?"

Beckett pokes inside the wagon and finds it empty. The mules snuffle at him and neigh quietly. It appears that their hay basket and water bucket are both empty.
Speaking with a clear voice (to avoid startling anyone who might be nearby and unseen), Dar will say: "You poor mules! Here, have some water."
If there's no water conveniently nearby, the sorcerer will use his water skin to start watering the mules. I presume that, with a medicine check, we'd know that the mules can't have been 'unwatered' for too long; else, they'd be dead. If there is ample time and opportunity, Dar will try to find feed for the mules, too. But the mission has priority.

Does it also take 2 hours to get from Flitch's place to the sewers? If so, then 4 hours and 10 minutes have already elapsed. Is that correct?
Once the party enters the sewers, the sorcerer calls upon the powers of his bloodline. "May the blessings of the Dawnflower grant us light."(Casting the light cantrip.)

GM, you mentioned that it takes 2 hours to move between places. During the two hours that it took to get here, could we have spent time Gathering Information? If so, my Diplomacy bonus is +8. Thanks.
You have until tomorrow evening UK time to ask any further questions after which I will move us on to arriving in Xin-Edasseril. You each have 1 Hero Point, if any of you have achieved a Glyph you may hand out an extra one. Now is also the time to slot ay boons you have.
I have one glyph, in theory. But, it's from a convention, and I don't think all the tables have been reported. Your call whether or not you want to count it. :) I'm not terribly invested either way.
If you allow the glyph, then I'll have two hero points to hand out. The coin allows me to hand one out ad hoc. I prefer to save that one to prevent PC deaths.
