Room 36 - Rechts Squad
The second of Shirazz's squads has only one long timer. But the four members work extremely well togther in the field, even if they don't have near the comaraderie in private as the Links squad.
The hobgoblin warrior Seethe is the long time member and squad leader. The hobgoblin sorcer-warrior Vex was the next to join. The more recent members are the human warrior Beltha, and the human wizard Kiraena.
Following Shirazz's rules they have nothing of particular of value they would leave behind in the 20'x20' room if not in. Still there is an Arcane Lock on the door keyed to them and Shirazz so that they don't need to worry about traps being laid for them while out. The chests underneath the comfortably made beds have extra sets of clothes and a few replacement supplies. There is a lidded chamber pot under each bed. Each has their own weapons and cloak rack, and a small desk with a stool and a hooded continual flame lantern. The desks can be pushed together to make a larger table if needed. If they're elsewhere on the floor (perhaps eating) then much of their gear will be here.
Seethe and Vex are actually Changeling sorcerer-warrior who switch places between each other and Marcuilis in room 37. They and the halfling Wilos Softvale (in #16) who abandoned them are all from the same vat in ____. Originally alternating between each other as Vex, they then replaced Seethe when the opportunity presented itself. Something about Beltha, Kiraena, and Shirazz makes them seem bad targets - and there hasn't been a tactical advantage in replacing any of Links Squad or the other floor residents. Shirazz is the obvious next target, unless Wilos hasn't really deserted and is working towards one of the leaders of the Entryway.

Beltha is a Nehwon Ghoul with a Ring of Disguise that allows her to change her form four times per day as Disguise Self as an attack action. The others know generally what the ring is, but have never heard of a Nehwon Ghoul and so merely find the look she pulls out sometimes to terrify enemies to be exceedingly well chosen. She isn't happy to be wearing clothing, but is getting to not despise it. It means she doesn't get the "Difficult to Target". She can still utilize the "Frightful Reputation" - it's based on appearance and not reputation. With chain shirt and sheild her AC is 16 and her HP are 32 (5d8+10). She is charismatic for her kind ( 9 (-1)). Newhon Ghools are in "Monsters & Magic of Lankhmar" from Goodman Games. She also has a Ring of Dark Vision from Shirazz (even though she doesn't need it), a Potion of Healing, and 65 gp in gems.
Kiraena is a Yuan-Ti pureblood who is passing as human with some burns from past encounters (burns which by "chance" cover the patches of scale on her back). Her time will come. As Yuan Ti pure blood - with extra spells -

2nd level: Two of Arcane Lock, Suggestion, Invisibility
She has a Ring of Dark Vision from Shirazz (even though she doesn't need it), a Potion of Healing, and a +1 dagger instead of a Scimitar (+3 to hit, damage 3 (d4+1)).
