Sen looks unhappily at the portal. Assuming he heard Crush, he will very reluctantly descend into the pit of doom and his inevitable death and the hands of monsters too twisted and hideous to imagine. Coming!
"Shadrach... that backpack looks familiar. I may have seen a large hunting party with one similar in my travels."She points to it... "They were not too far outside of town. You think they may have something to do with this??"

(He was mad at Usul, I was going for the equivalent of throwing money at someone IRL.)
Shadrach says, "I'm not sure. I don't have a way for us to stay in communication. I do have a way that I can find you, though." He reaches into his pack and produces a small pouch. He opens the pouch and empties it into his palm - there are two thin silver rings. He holds out his palm. "If one of you take one of these rings with you, I can find you. Hopefully I'm not too delayed."
Usul reaches out and takes a ring asking "Does it work two ways? Or can we send a signal with it?" and then turning to the rest of the group asks "Are you all planning to just go to this Tooth now?"emphasizing the last word thinking that it might be better to start the search in the morning...

Shadrach says, "What makes you think this one is the one you saw earlier? Aren't these things fairly common?"
Aria and Usul would both know it's the same one because the lock is still in place. I think Veryes would know that too. The kobolds ripped it apart to bypass it. Why that happened is beyond you.
"I think I saw a Tiefling with that exact bag... maybe I'm mistaken. Just seems too odd to just be a coincidence." She looks at Usul and then back to Shadrach

Usul will be doing his best to avoid any connection to the bag topic, focusing on the ring that he was given instead, thinking to himself "I wish she would have let us try to open that bag when we had it..."
His eyes narrow. "And this tiefling was in some kind of hunting party? Odd. OK. I'll mention it. Maybe my employers have heard something."
To Usul regarding the ring, he says "There's no way to communicate through it. Once you become attuned to it, you'll be able to hone in on its mate. You'll be able to intuit its location."
Aria turns to Sen who has come down and joined them... "We need to figure out if we're going to the Tooth now... or regroup. If we wait too long, then time is the enemy. But I can't ask you all to jump headfirst unprepared. Crush and I could go ahead and scout the area... " she pauses.. "I don't know."

An echo resonates from the caverns, "the past it threatens the fastest weapon you wouldn't make it past a second"
I would say to rest and take more time to prepare, if that's possible,says Sen. But I don't know the Undermountain like you do. Can one actually prepare for this journey? Is there any benefit to going right after these kobolds have attacked like this? If you want to head out straight away, I'll be with you.
"If we don't act quickly, if Anna is in danger.... they may do something to her or move her. And if the Tooth is a nightclub... well, chances are we'd have to wait an entire day before coming back."She looks at her comrades.. "I've been alone down here before and I almost didn't make it out. I will continue forward."

"We agree with Sen. Time to prepare could help us. But since we came this far, we can't let you foolishly go off alone." Usul sighs, putting the ring that Shadrach gave him on "We will follow as well."
A voice comes from the top of the portal as the proprietor of the Yawning Portal begins lowering down a bag. He says "Thanks for helping out with those cursed lizards! I pulled this from the lost & found box for you as payment -- hopefully it's of some use to you! Good luck down there!"

"Yea.. think his name was Skins.. or Sinks or.. something like that." Aria nods emphatically "Definitely an S..."

Usul goes over to the bag being lowered, sets it on the ground, and opens it to see what's inside.
PbP 🎲: Tyekanik; Moneo Noree; Korba Muris; & occasional DM:
There are several potions, a few rings, a few daggers, two wands, and a circlet.

Looking at all this, Usul turns to Sen and says "can you tell what all these do?"
PbP 🎲: Tyekanik; Moneo Noree; Korba Muris; & occasional DM:
Crush will join the others, looking at the sack of items dropped for them. "Take items and go" The orc would say with a grunt. "Anna not wait".
