Form a line, here, and stop them from getting any closer. The chest is near.

She then taps her companion on the shoulder and points to an alley at the top of the intersection, and both maidens move that direction.

Henderson shoves the reigns of the bull into a dwarf’s hands and then slaps the bull. He jumps out of the way as the Bull lurches into the warehouse. And then he grabs Portia’s arm and hisses quietly

Well, looks like your friend may have put us on a tighter schedule. Kill her now. I’ll take care of the wagon

get this wagon in the warehouse, and then unhitch the animals and take them out back and put them in the yard. And make sure the gate is latched this time!

Just as he finishes shouting, a door opens across the street (which is twenty five feet wide here) and Brenda and Unbolath step out of a building.

A few buildings away, and around a corner…

Mister Henderson looks hard at Portia, and for a moment he seems to be deep in thought, but just when it seems he is about to open his mouth and start talking again, he frowns, and mumbles, I’ll get the goods to the warehouse, you better get back to you friends. That woman will want to examine the goods, and if I can hurry I might be able to keep her from seeing too much. I’ll try to make it look like the group of you is behind all this and send her looking for you. That’s give you all the time you need to get her out of the way permanently

Mister Henderson will want Portia to leave him with the wagon, so if Portia insists on going all the way to the warehouse with him she’ll need to come up with an excuse. You don’t need to think of something too terribly original, and you can make a Bluff Check to see how well it works. If you roll <10 he might become even more suspicious than he already is, but if you roll 12+ he’ll accept your reason and let you go

Are you people out of you minds!You were supposed to kill those idiots from Fort Horizon and take the wagon to the prison. Did you really think I could be bribed to double cross Drespor! Drespor!

The dwarf is pacing back and forth waving his hands at Portia

Minerva and Thikka have a chance to over hear this rant. Even though they are a few buildings away. The DC to hear him, a Perception Check, is 14

Mr. Henderson is certainly no threat to Portia, but suddenly he comes at her pointing his finger and speaking a bit lower, Look, you. I’m not getting my head served to those dragon men in the prison. The woman, Carvol doesn’t know anything she arrived unannounced to conduct an audit of my books a week ago, and I’ve jumped through flaming hoops to keep these transactions out of her hands.

His voice then goes up as he throw both hands up in the air

And you, you idiot, bring the wagon here thinking you can demand more for your work.

He puts both hands on the top of his head and takes a deep breath. Alright, alright. Your friend is going to screw things up permanently, so that leaves me no choice but to kill the woman. I’ll give you and your friends another ten percent, and a thousand more for getting rid of the auditor, TONIGHT! She likes the saloon, and goes there every night to play bridge with the other idiots in this town. Get her alone, and get rid of her. I’ll check the goods and get them ready to move to the prison tomorrow. And then,

He points at Portia again I never want to see your face again. Criminals like your kind are the worst employees imaginable.

Before she can finish Mr. Henderson rushes forward and shoves her to the side saying, in a rush, Expecting you so soon, so soon. I had thought it would be the end of the week. Yes, yes, the end of the week at least. Ahem, won’t you come inside and let me take a look at the paperwork and see if everything is in order.

Brenda, tilts her head to the side and stares blankly at Mr. Henderson
