"Thank you, Vrashek." Nafije stood to one side and let the others pass her as she produced the symbol of al-Kalim: a golden circle with slender, curving cuts to represent a palm tree in the desert, with the crescent moon behind. She recited a Ylari prayer, and caused the symbol to glow with a light like a lantern in a fog.
Nafije took her place as last in line. If the Veiled Society thugs caught up to them down here, she had ways of slowing them down.
"We're traveling underground now," Nafije began to narrate. "We'll definitely exceed Goldie's range if we keep going. Questor says we should head toward the Temple District. Can you meet us there?"
In the Hog's Breath, Goldie relayed Nafije's message to Adam and the others, through a squawking parody of human speech.

"I don't like being split up," Astra said with a frown, glancing back. "We should have stayed together."
She didn't add that she wasn't thrilled about dank, drippy dark tunnels underground either. That kind of environment, even with the wizard's light, was terrible for an archer.
Even so, she reasoned that the others had it worse than she...her elf eyes adjusted quickly to the dark, and greedily gobbled what little light there was up. So she followed along, bow in hands and arrow nocked, listening to Nafije for updates from the others.

Questor, Halfling Chaos Sorcerer 6
"I doubt whether this passage reaches as far as the temple district, so we'll most likely have to move a fair portion of the distance on the street," Questor says to Vrashek and the others with him in the tunnel. "Hopefully, this tunnel will put us somewhere out of the sight of those Veiled Society thugs when we reach the end. And, hopefully it won't be too awfully much farther from there to our destination."

Adam of Brightcastle
Adam is just able to overhear the new message from Goldie. He looks where the other members of the group that stayed in the tavern are, to make sure they also herd the message.
Then he speaks to Allard again.
"Sorry, change of plan. My friends and me will leave through the backdoor. Please bolt it behind us." Then he waits for the others to join him at the back door.

Inside the Secret Passage: Cassi, Nafije, Astra, Questor, and Vrashek
The group continues down the dark, dank passage.
Just as Questor says that, Vrashek sees a t-intersection, with a passage leading to the right. Our heroes can either take that turn or continue forward.
[sblock=Vrashek, Astra, and Cassi]The three of you hear faint sounds of singing. This sound appears to be coming from the passage that splits off to the right.[/sblock]

"If I had wanted to chase around unpleasant parts of a city without knowing where I was going, I could have stayed home with the children." Cassi mentions. "I have to wonder where the passage off to the right leads, though; it doesn't seem likely anyone would be singing down here."
