That was rather cinematic indeed. Eagerly awaiting how this will unfold.
As for Ersun it would be foolish to try to find Ren or Rasul in the sewers. He can not even know if they are still there. Previously he did send a message to Thiara about not being able to leave Jabbar's place, hoping she can convey it to Rasul. Even if she could not, if Ren finds him, he can convey what happened well enough without needing Ersun. So he is staying until morning for sure.
Taking Jabbar's body and the blind rhat back (all tied up) is probably for the best. As for what he Plans to do afterwards? He is in a curious situation, being a double-diplomat by now (came from Aridu to Rhasul, and now from Rasul to our little group). He would continue his part in it, talking through the plans and things to be done with Burrai, in hope that the alliance will flurish and he can be a bridge in it to fill the missing links and information (If going against Burrai's command comes up, he calmly and diplomatically explains his reasoning).
He does offer to keep watch until morning (as I remember he did have time to rest before leaving with Thiara, so he is relatively fresh compared to the others), and would write his journal in the meantime (In which he thinks positively of an alliance so far, and muses how useful a small taskforce of warmages or rangers would be at the strike on Noro, although that would probably need official approval, unlike his shady adventure here).
What he has juggle with currently:
- Try to get back to Rasul in the morning, to broker the alliance and fill him in about their plans and such. (Although he somewhat hopes Ren does get around in the morning to pick him up, if he does not, he finds another way to make do.)
- He did offer to go to the Goblin Cup, hoping he can get a hold of Chuth to either take him out or kidnap him. They do seem to have more important tasks at hand at the moment, but if Aletia comes along her illusion and invisibility spells could greatly help a kidnapping.
- There is an arena event next evening, where they plan to assassinate two Black Network people. That also requires exquisite planning. He tells them what he can bring to the table as swordsman, magician, or entertainer, should he be part of the action. [character sheet:

- The evening after that Noro and his wererat friends are planning something bad, and they are planning a strike on them. The amulet they have could be used as bait to set the grounds.
Things will not go as they are planned for sure, but it is always better to start with a plan.
So from the current perspective, his tasks the next day would be:
Find a way back to Ren or Rasul to exchange information and plans. Try to find and hit on Chuth in shady places. Do preparations for the next day. Join them on their assassination in the arena. (unless someone makes other more important plans for him meanwhile)
As there is a break now, I will do the level up from the restart bonus xp, if that is alright.
