Sprint after Ghararn ((since I didn't use up all my actions on the previous post, I should be right on his tail, this still being my first turn))
Thieving scoundrels! Stop now, and I may not be forced to kill you when I catch up! ((intimidate check to get them to hesitate/maybe even outright stop))
As I'm chasing these thieves, notice David about to attack. Use Combat Leader to give him a +2 initiative bonus ((if I'm within range (10 squares)))
You take care of those ones, brave Goliath! Me and my companion will pursue the others!

EDIT: ((Darn! I seem to be late! Well, I guess I just follow Ghararn and attempt to break open the trap door))

Estimate how wide the pit of acid is. Also look for hidden passages or ways to cross the acid pit.

As I run towards them, I cast Sleep (100 ft of range, burst 2) on both, if I can catch them on the burst.

Must... Make... Them... Slow down.... NOW!

With the help of Rhogar, break open the trapdoor.

I saw the IC thread, glanced in it, and saw that I was listed as a playing character despite not having completed my sheet .

That...didn't clear up Keyleth's confusion at all. What do crown jewels look like? Did you wear them on your head? And what were thieves?

She reasoned that perhaps those groups of running people knew something. Maybe if she asked politely, they would explain!

Take off running after the nearest group of thieves. Use that 7 speed to full effect! Also watch for low buildings Keyleth could potentially leap onto.

David gives a mighty laugh and preforms a running jump-charge-thing at the thieves, rolling for initiative while in the air.

Move: Move up to the edge of the wall and jump onto the thieves. He is not running, only moving at normal speed,.
Standard: Use the jump to preform a charge at them.

Walk up to the lamppost ((what variety of lamppost, by the way? Is it oil burning, or a candle? Or possibly magical?)) and read the paper.
((My remaining action will depend on what the paper says))

((Note that in my posts, actions are bold, OOC is in ((double brackets)), and IC speaking is in blue. It really helps keep things straight, and make sure that my offhand jokes don't result in my character performing random actions.

Also, was the beige intentionally hard to read? Or was that unintended?

Stop for a moment, and review the situation.

Is there high ground I can get to (or teleport to) quick enough that I can see the direction the "thieves" ran away in? If not, maybe I can follow the one closest to me, see if I can catch up to him and his mate and make them sleep.

((Also, thoughts are in italics, I presume.))

Minor: Attempt to recognize the woman and thieves. (I do live here...)
Move;(Speed 6): Run after the thieves.
Free: Say to the woman, as I pass her,"Fear not, although you don't appear to be afraid! I will apprehend yon thieving rogues!"
Move;(Speed 6): Continue running.
Free;(Bluff +6): Yell,"Wait! You forgot something!" in an attempt to confuse or distract the thieves, while...
Free; (Quick Swap): ...drawing a handful of gold, arranging the coins between my fingers as improvised brass knuckles.

((I won't do all the action definitions unless, as now, they would be confusing without the notes. Other than that, standard font/coloring as described above.))

Edited for relevant numbers.

Keyleth, keeping her face hidden under a hood, reads the message on the lamp post. She's not entirely sure what "thieves" are.

David perks up. Some excitement! He attempts to scale a building to pursue the thieves, picking a random street.
Move: Run (Speed + 2 = 8 ) and climb the building (Likely DC 20. +10 bonus to Athletics and rolls jump or climb checks twice from race.)
Standard: If failed, try again. If not, pursue the thieves with a Run action.
Minor: Draw Sword.
Continue Move and Standard until I reach them.

Curious, Gharahrn walks up to inspect the note on the lamppost as well.
((Ok, I am drawing a blank here as I am not sure how Gharahrn would react.))

((Oh, crud, I need to talk... Nobody took cyan!))

"And I thought today would be boring!"
Cromwell Jackson slips into the shadows towards the nearest street that he saw some of the thieves run down, and gives chase, remaining unseen.

Once upon a time, there were these Fate Sages. These Fate Sages made a table, which came out spherical. Then they put lil' figurines of stuff on the table, and Aelgave the Life Sage brought 'em to life and created the sentient people of our lil' world.
