Cratol will search the items he found for any thing that may identify who else is with them. He asks that Geoffrey takes the man outside and elsewhere as he does not want any one to get injured when he removes the stone from the circle.
Once the injured man and Geoffrey are out of the building he will take one of the long poles and set it on the floor with the end pointing to the back door. He will then go to the end by the back door and attempt to shove the pole through the active circle and strike the gem to knock it out of the circle to disrupt the circle. One he thrusts the pole towards the circle and gem he will jump outside in case of an explosion. Roll for hitting the gem with the pole is included.
He will Make sure that Sar'ai's Bird was able to take her crossbow when he found it with their stuff outside.
On second thought, Cratol suspects that simply tapping the crystal out of the circle would be… difficult. The crystal is large enough to be carved into a life sized statue of the halfling woman you encountered on the road, Tallis, if one were inclined to such artistry. And it looks to be much heavier than she is.
Well then he will attempt to break the circle so it is not powered anymore. He is not familiar with magic he just thinks that this may be a way to stop what ever is fueling what others say is making magic not work. If he disrupts the circle so be it. But he will only attempt so if the building is vacant.
Sar'ai mentally calls Elanna back to her as the familiar's search turned up nothing. The half-drow then looks to Lia, "Cratol and I were merely trying to track down the source of the magical interference, which assuming that very large crystal emanating Faerzress back inside that building is said source, I'd say this little excursion has paid off rather wel, all things considered." Sar'ai looks down to the mage again, "Admittedly, the explosive being launched, which undoubtedly is some sort of far reaching signal to the outer groups surrounding Greenest, was a bit unfortunate. However, at least we can extract some reasoning for all of this from this one… "
The wizard kneels down to the mage's level, her eyes become narrow and meet his as her voice also lowers and becomes a bit more ominous, "You may have cost us time, but we are going to get the answers we seek. You may think you will simply not speak, or choose death as perhaps you believe you will be rewarded in the afterlife for carrying out the will of some deity," she pushes up a sleeve on her left arm and turns it reveal an ornate tattoo of a spider whose eight legs seem to stretch the entire length of her forearm. "But those who are cast down meet the queen of the demonweb-pits find her domain to be, let's say, less 'rewarding'... "
The half-drow rolls down her sleeve and stands once more, and asks Lia and Onwen to help her bind the mage and take him back to the building with the crystal.
Out of Character: so, I just unloaded a bunch of stuff there, some true some not, so her is basically what all that was trying to accomplish.
Using her drow heritage, she is attempting to intimidate the man into submission by invoking the name of Lolth, which Sar'ai knows can be a powerful message (And potentially dangerous) but also is kind of lying about her capabilities as far as being able to even come close to be someone who would have the power to damn another to the pits. That resides with the drow high priestesses, which, this man does not know she isn't apart of. So, I'll roll an intimidation check and a deception check just to see how well this comes across.
Lia's healing spell takes, and the mage revives. He struggles in his bonds, and glares at you.
The fracas has drawn quite a bit of attention. Including from a human and a dwarf wearing badges associated with the Greenest militia. They're armed and demanding an explanation.
Anyone who enters the shop in the next few minutes would find Cratol waiting for Geoffroy to leave so he can try something with a pair of rune circles on the floor. (It takes a while before the Cleric is finished with the enemy fighter) Does Geoffroy or any others who go in wish to object?
Out of Character: Kntoran, if none interfere, and you blindly disrupt the rune circle, roll a d100 for me.

With Cratol this is something he feels he needs to do so yes if no one stops him he will proceed with his plans. He is thinking that his Monk reflexes and him standing ready to jump out the door that everything goes according to his plans.
Onwen approaches the scene of his comrades gathered around the fallen mage who has now apparently been healed, he looks down at their foe giving him a slight smirk of superiority as he grips his staff and surveys the scene but he says nothing even as the guards approach he leaves any interaction with them to others.
If he sees Cratol going to cross over the barrier he would reach his hand out in an attempt to give some warning to him "Cratol I wouldn't… " would probably be all that he could manage before Cratol stepped over the barrier though.
Out of Character: : Quick question, does Sarai show the others what she's taken off the mage? I ask because Onwen would likely have a reaction to the mini portrait of the young woman.
