**Assuming that you all do agree to take the boat**
After a brief discussion the group turns and one by one makes their way down the natural cavern with Minharath lagging behind for a moment. You reach the area where Thorn had spotted the boat earlier, and before you in the water sits a large row boat, tied up to a make-shift dock.
The boat looks to be in good shape, and you each carefully climb aboard and grab a seat. There are two oars, one attached to each side of the boat. Grabbing hold of the oars you make your way out of the cavern opening and emerge beneath on of the many large piers stretching out into the harbor. Only a few moments later you can hear the distinct shrill sound of a whistle being blown from somewhere up above.
"Looks like the night watchmen have made their way around" comments Jehad in a tone slightly above a whisper, not wanting his voice to carry far.

Thorn takes the oars and glides the boat silently through the water. He manoeuvres the small craft away from the shore.
The ragged crew looks back at parting docks - slowly disappearing in the veil of night. The shrill whistle of the night-watch still echos among the warehouse. The only sound that can be heard coming from the boat is the salt water lapping against the side of the hull, as it glides towards the Emporium.

[sblock=DMDanW]I do note that Shar-Doo was released from his bonds once Minharath was left alone in the room. [/sblock]
Minharath scoops up the excess holy symbols (all of them) and quicksteps to the dock. Dropping the ornaments in the bottom of the boat and kneeling in the center, he begins looking over the rest of the party, working out pains and injuries during the trip.

Gellan stays largely silent as the boat approaches the Emporium. When it reaches the docks, he clambers up to assist with securing the lines, saying, "Now to see if Lord Ogglebottom is as appreciative as he promised to be."

The group slowly and quietly rows the dingy away from the warehouse district and up towards the inner harbor and the Extraordinary Emporium of Exotic Exports. You row up to an open berth at one of the docks and Gellan hops off and begins to tie off your craft. As you all disembark you can hear heavy footsteps coming towards you down the dock, and out of the shadows appears a large warforged, its armor pitched black and two distinct pinpoints of his glowing red eyes.
"Follow me" it states, and makes his way up the dock and to an almost concealed man door to the left of the larger warehouse doors. He opens the door and continues in, not even looking back to see if you are following. As soon as the last of your group enters the doors closes by itself behind you. You make your way up a flight of dimly lit stairs and come to another door. he opens the door and motions for you to go through.
the room on the other side is the same one you sat in hours before waiting for Lord Ogglebottom, but this time you will not need to wait as he as well as Jyles are there waiting for you.
"So you have retreived the package I assume?" Jyles asks.
"Of course they have" Lord Ogglebottom interjects. "If they had not they wouldn't have come back". He looks at you and smiles, "So do tell, how did it go?"
