I hope I have not given the group "option paralysis" between:
1) Go get to Ukee
2) Worry about/check out those Thayans
3) Check out that campsite
I suspect that 2) might feel like a priority, but if you backtrack to the stairs (the easiest way down for anyone other than Harb) you can quickly disappear into the buildings to the east of them, assuming you want to avoid the the Thayans. The campsite, on the other side of the road, will have the road between you and them (a 30-foot wall, 60-feet thick ought to do it). For now, anyway.
All 3 are viable options, IMO.
