Ilvara's Pursuit
I had much the same thought, but used Sarith Kzekarit. The spores he was leaving in trail allowed him to be aware of things that were happening in the places they've been. If a rat crossed their path, or Ilvara Mizzrym's scouts did, he would see it.
In retrospect, I might have reconsidered using Stool had I read Chapter 16, "Wedding Invitation," and been aware of the exceptional range of myconid spore communication. But, the advantage of giving Sarith Kzekarit this trail sense is he is temporary. The party could exploit the power only until he finally "blows."
2) The closeness of the pursuit (as already noted) needs to be communicated. I like the cutscene idea a lot. Another alternative might be Stool having some 6th sense of their proximity and communicating that to the PCs. Perhaps when they rest?
