Since everyone else is rolling, we may turn this into a half-half engagement. That is someone might choose to proceed directly into combat, after others decide to attempt to resolve this without conflict. I'd assume an initiative roll is required to see the order of a potential combat scenario, plus our lovely little Rogue is in a similar half-half already. 

Kethan's Initiative, or rather a lack of Initiative since he's old and can't be bothered to keep up with the younger crowd: 1d20 + 0 = [url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/rolls/3351]16[/url]

Technically the rogue is out of his half-half, as the guards under the door apparently are the guards from upstairs. Also, since they just had a door kicked in on them hard enough to deal 10 damage each, I kind of doubt diplomacy is on the table... but then again, they are apparently profoundly stupid. A random dragonborn stranger  not dressed like a noble and fresh from climbing the side of the house in the rain, just slipped out of a room that clearly belongs to someone, and 100% conned them with a 10 on a performance check. These guys are clearly dumb as the day is long.
