Background:
The PCs were traversing through the Astral Plane when they met two young djinn girls who queried them about their home plane. The PCs kindly obliged and told them what they could. What the PCs did not know, until much later on, was that one of the girls had a suitor, a young noble djinn, who was more than determined to win her heart. The girl, however, was not that keen on him. even though she had been semi-interested in him at one point.
After the PCs had told her and her best friend about the Prime Material, she decided to award the PCs with a gift from her suitor, although she did not disclose its origin.
The gift, a gem

Later on, the girl told the suitor that a band of prime thieves had stolen the gem. The story lacked credibility, but the suitor became occupied with the retrieval of the gem. She was delighted that the suitor would go away for a while. Also, she believed that he could never actually find the PCs. Before departing to the Prime Material, the suitor made a solemn vow to her that he would retrieve the gem.
The situation now:
The young noble genie managed to successfully play detective in the Prime Material and, against all odds, he found the PCs. He kicked down the door of the inn catching the PCs in the middle of a dinner and promptly demanded them to relinquish the gem at once. However, neither the PCs nor the players remembered what had happened to the gem, and no one had it. The opponents of the PCs, a night hag and an evil cleric, took advantage of the situation and attacked the PCs at that very moment thinking that the genie would aid them, but he didn't, and the duo lost the fight. In the aftermath, the genie demanded that the druid PC would to revive the critically wounded and unconscious evil cleric who was lying on the inn floor, but the PC did not comply. The PCs didn't bat an eye. The genie used a Heal check to stabilize the NPC cleric and then flew off with her. Before exiting the inn, he vowed to return for the gem, but this time with more force.
What should the NPC noble genie do now? He is an unfamiliar place, carrying a stabilized evil NPC cleric at -9 hp in his arms; he has promised to return with the gem back to the love of his life, but the thieves seem to be too powerful and they are also willing to let people bleed to death even though they possess healing magic. The genie has a hat of disguise, some gold and a ring of protection with him.
How to proceed?
