"Alright, if you're going in without me then I shall look about for the sewer entrances and stick close in case you run into trouble."
Shai kneels next to Dyspeer and takes the wolf's head in his hands.
"I'm gonna be right inside, back out soon, but Rogash needs someone to keep him out of trouble. That's you, huh?"
The large wolf licks Shai's face by way of reply, then moves to stand beside the dwarf.
"Pay attention to Dys," Shai says as he stands. "He's got good ears and instincts. He makes to run or hide or gets his hackles up, you'd do well to follow."

Well, I'm hoping Talashia's empathic link with her familiar might be a decent method of keeping the two groups connected, though heck if I know.
Then again, I've been in this campaign long enough to know that there'd be just as much devilment if we stuck together: "Oh, good! You're making a nice single target of yourselves!"
Quietly, Buurt sticks with the main group going into the infamous building, however he is doing his best to not stand out amongst his peers. Hopefully, if something does go wrong, Buurt springing to action may be more surprising.
"Have no fear, Talashia, I am confident that we can handle, or avoid, whatever difficulty we encounter on the way to rendezvous with the party," says Uulark, and, then, turning to Rogash he says, with a slightly nervous look in his eye, "Can't we??"
"It's a pretty big assumption that there's a way to get from the sewers into that building," Talashia reminds Uulark. "Other than up through a midden."
"Yes, my dear Sorceress, but you are forgetting our Rogash's Dwarvish heritage and skill! If we cannot quickly locate the passage that we require, he will simply dig us a new one in two shakes of a kobold's tail!"
I want to make sure I'm understanding this correctly:
Group 1 is going into the Crimson Dagger to see what white plume is up to, while group 2 will search for a nearby sewer entrance in hopes of finding an underground access into the Crimson Dagger.
Does that about sum it up? Who, exactly, is in which group?

Yes, that's an accurate summary as far as I know.
To my knowledge, Group 2 is Uulark, Rogash, and Dyspeer. Hmmm, looks like a pretty thin roster, so I hope I forgot somebody! OOC: We might need to give this some more thought, eh, Scotley??
(OOC - Oops! Got distracted...for some reason I thought I was waiting on something in this thread. Doh!)
Talashia looks ill at ease, and calls Shazi over.
"Shazi, go with them and help them. Do as they say. If you run into any trouble, use our link to communicate that with me. And, of course, vice versa."
The mephit emits a long-suffering, melodramatic sigh. "You people live very active lives, you know that? Second day of this and I'm already exhausted. 'Shazi fly here. Shazi watch this guy. Shazi, stay out of sight. Shazi go help these imb...er...fine and upstanding people.' " He eyes the weapons of the party warily and grins a placating grin.
"You can be sure that one way or another, sometimes indirectly, these instructions are for your benefit too," Talashia replies. "You'll see."
She nods at Uulark and Rogash, "Good fortune."
When the others start moving towards their respective destinations, Talashia joins those going to the white-plumed man's fight club, meaning to get another look at him.
((OOC: Hm. Somehow I thought group two was just looking for the closest entryway into the sewer, not actually entering it? Either way is fine with me, though getting Dyspeer down any kind of ladder is probably going to be a bit difficult with just two humanoids.))
Shai bites his lip as he warily eyes Talashia's familiar joining his animal companion in the smaller group, but says nothing, clumping with those going inside.
"No use standing about out here, let's find that sewer. Smell us a sewer dog?" Shaking his head he says to Uulark, "I'm already talking to the dog. I fear this day has me more shook up than I thought. Let's figure out a way in eh?" He sets off spiraling out from the Crimson Dagger his eyes and nose seeking a sewer entrance.
"Yes, let's do that, shall we?" Uulark says as he makes to follow right behind Rogash and Dyspeer.
OOC Warning
Be advised, when Scotely begins talking to dogs, it generally bodes very ill! My experience of this does not necessarily apply when Scotley is sober, however...
OOC: We might need to give this some more thought, eh, Scotley??
