This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
"Yes Crush! Coming! What did you find in there big man?" After they head out Usul will first go up to Muad, give him a good rub behind the ears animal handling18, hand him a small snack, and then say to the group, showing them the maps and drawings he found "It seems that Anna may desire to be an adventurer... perhaps she's simply searching for treasure. Veryes, can you make any sense of her drawings in relation to these maps?" ((@dm, comparing drawings and maps, is there anything that can be deduced? When we take at least another short rest, or a long rest later, Usul will sit down and give the maps a really good look over to see what all he can learn - investigation for the maps later 22))
Veryes has mixed feeling about taking the book. Knowing how she would feel if he book was ever lost or stolen she removes a sheet of paper and writes a note on it "Your book is safe. We will return it when we find you. If you come back here before we mat ask for us at The Saving Point." I'll fold the note and put it where the book was.
Hearing Usul and seeing the maps and drawings "I don't feel right about removing any of her belongings but those, and her book, may help us find her."
To Usul "Do you mind if I put those with her book. I can work on copying them and writing down anything useful in my book should anything happen to the originals"
"Crush find woman want to marry Crush" He says pointing to the woman behind the counter with his thick gloved thumb. "Crush buy things, hunt Anna now." The orc grunts with a buff of white and black smoke.
To Crush Usul will say "Good man!" laughing "Let me know when the wedding is!" and to Veryes will add "Perhaps we can sit down later and compare them, you sketch what you see, and I'll look for details" ((help for investigation? ^^))
"Crush not interested.... Crush standards high..." He would say as he pushes off the wall and leans down closer to Usel, trying to grunt a little quieter so the woman doesn't notice. tobacco smoke rolling out of his nostrils.
((I don't know what our destination is... but as we walk Usul would like to find a shop that sells a small pouch that can be tied to a dog. The idea is to train Muad to feel things riding him, so that eventually he'll be able to put a saddle on and it'll feel normalish))
Did you find anything that speaks of her family? Sen asks as they walk. Myrtle believes she may be well connected, with important relatives. That might explain why someone is searching for her, though it might be her own family or an enemy just as easily.
Sen is decent at Investigation and would like to help Usul study the maps, if he can.
May I see those please?? Aria will point to the maps and take a look a them. Aria has a strong connection with the Undermountain and would try and see if the map shows any clues to where Anna may have gone or where exactly in the Undermountain the map leads to.
((Which check would you like for this and would she have advantage??))

Anyone who wants to make an additional investigation check may do so.
Can I have clarification on what you decided to take/leave from her room? Are you saying anything to Myrtle on the way out, or just taking your purchases and leaving?
((For Usul: he took the maps + history/treasure book; showed to the team. Gave the sketches to Veryes. Showed the cards and dice, though didn't take them. Pocketed the coins + gems [what was there?] without anyone seeing. [How old is Anna?] I think that's it for him.))
There were 4 gold coins, 19 silver coins, and 10 bronze coins in the pouch. There were also a few small rubies and sapphires, not the best quality or valuable, but in this part of Waterdeep they might be worth something more than what you'd get from a more reputable jeweler.
(She's 15 - old enough to be working and have some responsibilities in a place like Waterdeep, also old enough to think she's invincible and get herself into trouble in a place like Waterdeep. If that's indeed what has happened!)
Aria doesn't notice anything special about the maps - some she has seen before, the ones that she's unfamiliar with she might be a little skeptical about. It appears like it's drawn in a young girl's handwriting so maybe this is something Anna drew herself, but is it from her own trips into the Undermountain, or something she heard about or copied from somewhere else, you don't know.

((Usul already rolled one investigation, I'd say just add your roll to it, which, together, count as advantage))

((You made me feel bad. Lol. Though Anna is likely not much more wee than Usul is)) ((@dm. How old is she?))
Small retcon: having seen what's in the pouches Usul will have left them on top of the truck.
