I'm taking a little liberty assuming you are near each other.In spite of any plans you had for the day, you are haunted by the voices from the previous night:
"The greatest treasure of all lies with Karavakos!"
"Mechanical sir!"
Without warning an unfamiliar female voice calls from behind you. A small undine soon appears as the origin of the voice. She stands next to an old-looking dwarf merchant. Both were panting and looked frantic.
"We need hel--"
the dwarf interrupted
"A bag containing a large shipment of dorjes was just stolen from us, by someone by the name of Vren. You two look strong enoug--"
the undine cuts back in
"I overheard something about selling it on the Gatehouse Night Market!"
The dwarf hurriedly finishes
"I can pay!"
Both give anxious looks to you...
Vassekh-Arokh Yessai:
In spite of any plans you had for the day, you are haunted by the voices from the previous night:
"The answer to your queries lies with Karavakos. Come find Us if you wish to escape from the Lich Queen!"
Mundarion:
Last night, the visions of Karavokos were interrupted by another voice. It sounds like someone from back home, although you cannot pinpoint who it is.
"There is a way to heal Cyre. It is buried underground here, beneath the gatehouse night market."
Later that evening...
Thomas, Midiotoziggeroto , Vassekh-Arokh:
It's been a long day of good work. While much of the town is still bustling, this location seems to have gone to sleep already, for the most part.
[spoiler=perception, DC 10]Roughly 100 feet to your right, a pair of dragonborns are mugging a group of travelers! The dragonborns start to run off. Chase time?
Male Elf Rogue 3 / Wizard 3 | HP 25/25 | AC 17, T 13, FF 14
Well, given a hint like that Mundarion will do his best to follow up on it. Given that he is still new to Sigil he's going to have to ask around to find out where it is.
Perception Check:1d20 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7 Wow. First roll of the campaign and i failed that ^_^
Huh? Where are you going Thomas? Why are you hiding? Did you spot a cat? You are going that way eh? Wait for me, im comimg!!
Midiotoziggeroto will then teleport every few dozen feet, following after Thomas, no doubt drawing a few curious looks and probably ruining his (rather poor) attempt at following discreetly.

Perception:1d20 + 9 ⇒ (15) + 9 = 24
Seeing the disturbance, and Thomas acting to follow, Yessai gives chase without thought for stealth.
You find it, but it is in a far part of the city, and it takes you most of the day to get their. What you find isn't particularly impressive: a seemingly abandoned building in a small alley.
Thomas, Midio, Vassekh:
The victims are not significantly injured, but the fleeing muggers hop around debris in the street, making pursuit difficult DC 15 athletics check to anyone unable to teleport.
Midio's speed easily allows him to reach the fleeing Dragonborn. They both appear to be carrying small stone tablets...

GM:
Do you mean Acrobatics?
For some reason my skills list my Dex bonus as +2 rather than +0. Will fix!
Male Elf Rogue 3 / Wizard 3 | HP 25/25 | AC 17, T 13, FF 14
I assume that Mundarion was able to rent a room somewhere or come up with some other place that he felt would be safe enough to leave his bacpack.
With Nightwing riding on Mundarion's shoulder and occasionally watching for trouble coming from behind, Mundarion starts making a thorough search of the area. Nightwing fulfill his duty by every so often rotating his head around 180 degrees so he can see things behind him.

GM:
Actually, in checking again it seems my Dex is 14, but part of my profile had 10 for some reason... So I got a 15, and so I managed to avoid the debris...
And you can just call me Yessai... Vassekha Arokh is the clan name. Sorry for the confusion...
Acrobatics:1d20 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4 Midiotoziggeroto can only move 25ft per teleport, which is actually slower than combat movement. If he runs while bursting, he can move 50 (200)ft
If i wanted to use my psionic focus and run flat out.... 320ft...
Also, Midiotoziggeroto hasnt seen the muggers, and no one comunicated it to him, hes just running :)
A race? Well i can race! I bet i could go even faster then any of them!
And with that Midiotoziggeroto takes off, hurling down the street at a truely breakneck speed in the general direction of the muggers and passing them by.
Haha! Im faster guys! No way you can keep up with THIS! Come on slowpo...
Before he can finish his taunt he runs full pelt into the side of a fruit cart, spewing apples and oranges all over the street and taking a rather magnificent dive nose first into the ground.

As Thomas and Midiotoziggeroto sprint past, De'arv'ki Climbs the wall of a nearby building to try and spot where they're headed.

no idea if i've spotted them
[spoiler=If i've seen them]I climb back down and sneak up to the area, trying to avoid their attention until i'm sure of their intentions
Stealth:1d20 + 13 ⇒ (11) + 13 = 24
One of the dragonborn stumbles into a ditch and falls!
Yessai runs straight into a pair of squirrels and loses his balance (and dealsstomping on each squirrel[/dice:1d3 ⇒ 3 to the now dead squirrels)!
Thomas easily reaches the fallen dragonborn, who he can see is a green male holding a short sword and a nice sized leather pouch, but the other is getting away...
De'arv'ki:
You can make out what appears to be a chase, five figures running through the next street over. Three of them trip...none of them appear to be making any effort to remain quiet or hidden.

Thomas will look down at the mugger and glance at his escaping partner.
Guess there really is no honor among thieves. I'll find him later, but until then we can have a nice little talk. glancing at the two expert acrobatsPull yourselves together guys.
With a whisper of what sounds like a phrase from a scripture and an effort of will, a brilliant blade of blue materializes from my outstretched right hand to land on the rascal's Adam's Apple.

With that thought, De'arv'ki Proceeds to climb to rooftops and shadow the escaping Thief.

Finally catching on to what it is that everyone is trying to do, that they are not trying to race but rather are chasing someone Midiotoziggeroto lets out a dejected sigh. Oh. That sucks.
He then teleports forward and preferably on top of something to give him a view of the escaping dragonborn and hurls an augmented glob of ectoplasm at him. Entangling Ectoplasm, augmented to 3rd lvl, targets touch Ranged touch attack:1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10

GM - Yessai is a she, and I actually made my roll - see spoilers above. The squirrels are safe
Yessai moves up with Thomas and decides a little extra demotivation is required. She too produces a wicked looking blade, if slightly more tangible, and licks the edge of it disconcertingly, the meaning clear to the draconic rake.
The dragonborn is completely terrified. He opens his mouth as if to speak, then closes it again quickly.
De'arv'ki, Midio:
De'arv'ki's power connects with the fleeing bandit, entangling him.
escape artist:1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21
He manages to escape from the ectoplasm, but it slows him down enough for both De'arv'ki and Midio to get back into striking distance! You both make it within 20 feet of him.
Mundarion:
perception:1d20 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13Mundarion manages to avoid detection. You can overhear a whispered conversation about a sale of some sort.
"So 5000 for--"
"Put that one--"
"Well, it would..."
Male Elf Rogue 3 / Wizard 3 | HP 25/25 | AC 17, T 13, FF 14
Spoiler:
Interesting, Mundarion thinks. So it is a market of some sort after all. Probably illicit I would guess. Better plan on getting closer if I want to find out more.
Mundarion draws his dagger and holds it in such a way that it is not immediately obvious he has a weapon in his hand (flat of the blade held against his forearm). He then tries to see if he can sneak in closer.
that hit him? Oh..
Seeing as how the dragonborn was slowed down just enough to be in teleport range a smirk crossed Midiotoziggerotos face.
He then teleports directly in front of the dragonborn (in the direction he was running, opposite of where the others were) and calls out a loud BOO!
He then steps back a foot and a crackling energy surrounds Midiotoziggeroto before being thrust at the dragonborn. (move action teleport, 5ft step back then cast electric energy push, 3pp) damage:2d6 ⇒ (4, 3) = 7
DC 19 ref save for half damage

Have you had enough yet? Otherwise this could get painful.

You succeed in sneaking in without being noticed.
Gemheart:
The dwarf leads you through four districts and through countless portals throughout Sigil. You arrive late at night. What you find isn't particularly impressive: a seemingly abandoned building in a small alley.

De'arv'ki, Midio:

The red dragonborn winces as he is pushed back, straight towards De'arv'ki!
Growling, he spits at Midio
"You planning on doing something foolish?"
It is now De'arv'ki's turn to act if he chooses to.

Sweet! A cat! I knew that Thomas saw a cat!You saw me run? It was a good run eh? I can run real fast! And teleport! my name is Midiotoziggeroto by the way. Whats yours? and you dragon guy, whats your name? Why am I casing you anyways? I just know that Thomas wants you...
Haha! I knew I was psycic! I saw your entrance a whole day early :)

Nice prescience Midio!
Yessai sighs, then sheathes her blade. Slowly, and with a grim countenance. SHe affects a pose of studied nonchalance...
"What's the matter? Cat got your tongue? You better flap you speaker or you'll find we do have a Cat. Likes tongues for dinner. Likes tongues anytime, especially reptile."
Her "bad enforcer" act done, Yessai let's Thomas continue the interrogation, and eyes their surroundings, looking either for accomplices or the actual authorities.

Thank you for the assist Yessai. May Iomedea bless your future endeavors. I think I got this, would you mind watching Scaley here while I look for the talkative one?
I'll dissipate my mindblade and head off down the road in the direction Midito went.
De'arv'ki and Midio are a few hundred feet away from Thomas and Yessai--De'arv'ki can still gesture in that general direction.
Mundarion:
Cobwebs line the walls, it is clear that this place is not used very often. A pair of white dragonborn are arguing with a Gizerai over four small bags. Behind them, you can make out a latch to a trap door, next to which sits a small , shimmering wooden pyramid, roughly one foot tall. The dragonborn seem to be standing so as to obstruct view of the trap door.
Yessai, Thomas:
As Thomas starts to walk away, the dragonborn stands up slowly, still shaken.
De'arv'ki lands straight on top of the dragonborn, preventing him from standing and dealing 3d6 ⇒ (3, 6, 6) = 15.
"Arrrrawwr!"
Almost whimpering, it begs
"You...can take what I am carrying, just let me...go...my employer would be displeased if I were found dead..."

Seeing the Draconic move to stand, Yessai whips her fell blade out again, pulsing with dread force.
"Do not move, Dragonborn. Sit!"

You sneaky, overgrown newt
With another whisper of will Thomas forms a long, thin shaft of brilliant blue energy ending in a pointed tip. With a battle cry he hurls it overhead at the dragonborn.

I would be willing to wager gold against copper that these guys are up to no good. But I don't know that for an absolute fact. Then there's the little matter that I don't have the authority to dispense justice in Sigil. Being outnumbered three to one is also something to take into consideration. Last but not least these guys are not my mission. Getting through that trap door is. It may be that I simply have to wait until these guys leave. So I need a real good hiding place.
[/spoiler]
[Dice=Perception check for hiding place] 1d20+11
I assume this was meant to be here and not on the discussion thread? :)
Mundarion:
You do see an alcove, but it is directly behind the Gizerai, making reaching it unnoticed difficult.
You also hear a pair of whispering voices outside the door you came in.
Thomas, Yessai:
I need to see Yessai's attack before resolving this round.
Mundarion is silent and nigh-invisible, beyond the senses of anyone nearby.
Mundarion can make out a dwarf and...a creature resembling a warforged, conversing about something.
