Caridoc continues to watch the mouth of the alley while the others decide whether or not to go in now. As he can see advantages and disadvantages with either action, he keeps quite.

"It is early yet," says Celythia, looking up into the darkening sky. "We should wait a bit."

Barek nods. "We'll keep our eyes and ears open, and wait until full dark before we make a move. I still have hope that our message got through to some who might help us."
 

Rezak sighs but says nothing. All those who know him know he is a bit impatient but will always concede to the will of the group.

[sblock=OOC] Waiting and watching, but hoping for a fast forward. :p [/sblock]
 

Time drags on as you wait, while the sky grows even darker. More people enter the tavern, mostly men; but if they are secretly members of the criminal gang, there is no obvious sign of it.

Finally, after what must be at least an hour, Rezak does see some men he recognizes coming down the street: Four of the "beggars" who helped defend Torenescu, including the leader you know as Mario.

The "beggars" stop, and begin talking among themselves. They cast glances in Rezak's direction, but don't seem to recognize him.

Barek smiles from where he waits in the alley with three quarters of his party. then he turns his arcane attention to Mario.

"Don't be alarmed, but I shouldn't like to call attention to us by approaching you where you stand, Mario. I hope you'll recall my voice from our jaunt with the good Senator last night? My name is Barek. You can whisper your reply and I can hear it through the channel."
 

Mario holds up a hand, signaling his companions to be quiet, and replies "Barek, yes, I remember. I got your message and came with the boys I could round up on short notice. What's the story?"

"We found a reasonable lead that there's a Veiled Society meeting here tonight. Though we hadn't the resources to pin down an exact time and no one's been polite enough to wear veils to identify themselves. We've been trying to give it what time we could, hoping gentlemen such as yourselves might show up.

"I think we've probably done as much waiting as we can, though. We're preparing to enter, preferably staggering our entry to try to minimize calling attention to ourselves. If you can join us, all the better. If not, keeping your eyes open for commotion or alternate entrances where you might be able to come to our assistance would be met with our endless gratitude."
