Edmond Deathwish
"Bah, we should just go there with on-site scouting provided by Dj'ahn and Kester's boys and drop in in broad daylight. With surprise it shouldn't be too hard for us to defeat four guards. Even trained Korvosan guards are not well equipped to deal with magical assault combined with the might of arms."
Edmond indicates Lynn as he references magical assault and Thorson and himself in the end.
"Dj'ahn will provide scouting and support as needed with his staffs of power. And healing for the wounded."
OOC: Oni it's Edm - O -nd not Edm -U -nd
OOC2: thought to justify 'Deathwish' part of the name, so reckless overconfidence is the thing

Lynn looked at Edmond as though he had become deranged. She opened her mouth to say something, then glancing at Kroft thought better and shut it again. It wouldn't do to argue in front of their new employer. So instead she addressed no one in particular.
Well we have many options to consider. When we better understand the situation we will be able to choose the one that best serves the needs of the city. Time will not make this task any easier however, we should begin as soon as possible.

Sorry Neurotic, it's all I can do not to call your character Edward half the time. ><

A bit of surveillance of "All the World's Meat" reveals the premises to be a fairly large low building with an attacked stockaded yard, and a small upper floor on the side fronting onto Stirge Street.
At the front is a small shop, where the local people gather every morning for handouts of cuts of meat, most of which are gone by midday. The turnover in meat is rapid, and most looks fairly fresh and far superior to the recycled fish guts that Gaedran Lamm used to sell as "dock dumplings".
Two men perform this duty. One is a tall man whose bushy eyebrows merge into one hairy monobrow. This man seems mainly to act as a bouncer, turning away anyone who looks too well-off or well-fed. The other, a heavy set wheezy man, performs the act of handing out the meat.
The locals seem very grateful to the men of the butchery who they say can usually get fresh meat every other day despite the ongoing trade embargo.
[sblock=OOC]
This information is gleaned from a single daytime visit to ATWM. Let me know if you want to conduct more legwork.
External map attached. The upper floor is shown on the right.

[sblock=Dr Simon]OOC: During his scouting of the area, could Dj'hân have gotten a view of the interior stockade through gaps in its fence? Are there sounds and odor of livestock? Are there any lit windows in the evening or comings and goings? Is the building freestanding on all sides?[/sblock]

I'm assuming what watching we've done, we've from some place where we'd not be easily observable.

As they seem to be winding down Lynn leans close to raven that often in her vicinity speaking in soft tones.
Ed, I want you to fly around that building over and see if you can get a look inside without attracting a lot of attention.
The raven's head bobbed up and down and it started to croak out a response, before Lynn cut him off.
Quietly...
The raven rapped her hand hard with its beak and then took off.
Ouch! you little....
Lynn sighed, rubbed the back of her hand, and then turned to the others.
I'm going to head over there alone, I want to ask them a couple questions.....Don't worry I'll be careful.
Lynn headed off in a direction where she could approach the butchery from a different way so as not to give away the location of the others. She walked straight up to the tall man guarding the door, smiling sweetly as she went.
Pardon me sir. I've seen what you're doing here. I think it is really wonderful that you're helping out the beleaguered people of the community. I was wondering if you could tell me who is responsible for all this? They are really to be commended and well...well I should like to know if there is something I could do as well.

After some (forced) thinking, Edmond drops his plan on storming the premises and let's Dj'ahn do what he's best at. However, he still takes Kester and five other older boys along.
You boys, pair up and surround the building so you can see whenever someone goes out. Follow them surrepticiously, don't get caught. If you have a choice between being noticed or caught and abandoning the chase, abandon it. If you succeed, let one of you return to report.
OOC: If you think I'm overusing the boys in-game let me know, for now I'm just trying to keep them occupied so they don't have time for mischif.

Upon further examination of ATWM, Dj'hân finds that there are two yards behind the stockade, glimpsed through gaps in the fence. The one to the rear is flagged, with an old wagon inside. The other is larger, churned to mud by the feet of livestock. At the moment it holds three worried-looking cows. It smells well used.
Kester gives Edmond a ragged salute, and the urchins deploy themselves around the butchery.
Meanwhile, as Edward takes to the air for his reconnaissance, Lynn approaches the mon-brow guard. She can see that he has chainmail on under his tunic, wears a longsword at his hip and a shield on his back. He is holding a loaded crossbow. The other man attending the counter does not seem to be so heavily armed.
The man frowns as she approaches (quite an effect with his heavy eyebrows) but his scowl softens slightly as she speaks.
"That's mighty kind of you, miss," he says in a bass grumble. "But the boss, he don't see no-one at the moment. Things are pretty much under control, lessen perhaps you can get some meat for us."
[sblock=OOC]
I'll give Edward's report when he gets back, same for Kester and the boys.
Dj'hân Perception +5 check.
Edmond Charisma -2 check.
Lynn Diplomacy +5 check.
All results ... secret
Looking at Edward (raven)'s stats, I notice he's got Listen and Spot. PF combines these to Perception - I would suggest Perception +5, with +2 racial bonus to visual checks. Skill points are a bit wierd - I reckon one more skill point, giving a +1 (cross-class) or +3 (class) skill. You could put ranks into Fly, for aerobatics.
As for lights at night, comings and goings etc., I'm assuming that so far you've done preliminary surveillance on the same day as meeting Cressida. If you want to continue watching for another day or more, let me know and I'll give you the details.

Lynn did her best to look slightly crestfallen.
Oh...well I suppose he must be a busy man, I would not want to interrupt his work.
Her face brightened up again.
Please let him know his efforts are not unappreciated. What name should I attach to this kindness?
After waiting to hear his reply she turned to walk back down the street. Lynn went a few paces and then stopped turning back.
Perhaps I shall return sometime with a donation, whom should I ask for?
After once more waiting for the reply she'll continue on her way until she can, out of sight of the butchery, circle around and meet up with the others.

Sounds fine to me Dr Simon.
