We could follow him, suggests Sen, though he makes no move to do so by himself. Perhaps now or, later, we could check him out at the inn where he is staying. The Yawning Portal, he muses to himself; I always thought that was just in stories. At this point, one of the more likely solutions to this is that Anna is hiding from our friend Shadrach, and for good reason. Therefore she will be hiding from us too. And yes, he says to Usul, I will join. I suppose the first step is to find this shop and this Myrtle? That is, at least, the path that our... employer... has laid in front of us. Sen has nothing to pack; everything he owns is in his pockets, and he stands ready to go, should the group so decide.
Aria goes back to her corner to grab her cloak, longbow and quiver. She quickly fastens her cloak and slips on her bow and quiver. She makes her way over to Usul, looks down at him.. "I'll join you. Something tells me that this isn't some young girl just running away. And I would have welcomed any help if something were to have happened to me."
She extends and offers Usul a handshake...

Alexandra claps Father's shoulder and says, "Aye, somethin' dinnae sit right wi' me aboot that Shadrach fellow. Ah'll help y' tae, Usul." She takes a moment to gather her scarce few belongings into her pack, "Myrtle's shop is as good a start as 'ny."
"Sounds like we gotz a hunting party!" Crush will say excitedly, his loud voice booming through the room. the dim lantern light casing dancing shadows across the large orcs smiling face. The orc would then feel around his body to make sure that he has all of his weapons and backpack before moving towards the door. "Crush ready to go, I squeeze them and you ask questions till we find girl" He says turning to the group while standing in the doorway.
Veryes having been here a couple days playing accompaniment for Mothers tales vaguely knows some of the folks here already but she puts her book away and introduces herself officially.
She bows low to all "I'm Veryes. I hope my meager skills will be of some use in trying to find Anna. I do have quick hands and people have been known to tell me more than they intend to. I agree that Myrtles is a good place to start. Plus with a name like Wondrous Wears there must be Lovely outfits there!"
Sen flinches at the sounds of Crush's booming voice, and then looks embarrassed and tries to hide it. He greets Veryes, relieved that the orc is no longer speaking. Hello, Veryes, it's nice to meet you. Do you have any idea where in the city we might find this shop? I think I'll have to rely on the locals amongst us for such things, as I only just got here.
"Greeting Sen. Pleased to meet you. I'm afraid I don't know where Myrtles is either. I've been trying to write down all of Mothers tales so have not had a chance to explore the city much. I'd guess Mother and Father could point us in the right direction if no one else can"
You'll be able to get directions to both the Yawning Portal and to Myrtle's Shop from Father. You also have the option of utilizing your own knowledge of Waterdeep to find other places that might have sources of information based on people you might have come into contact with during your time in the city (this applies to those of you who have been in the city for any appreciable amount of time).
(Crush wouldn't know anything about this shop in particular but he would know some people on the shady side of town. Crush isn't a bad guy.. he just isn't very smart... so he has taken many jobs in the past that others would have avoided... either because it was obvious that it was a job for a bad person.. or a job that was likely to get them killed. Crush doesn't normally ask may questions and as long as it doesn't go against he pretty loose... "code" he will pretty much take the job)
((Usul is a WD native, and with his background (Urchin) actually has a map of the city. So we're good to go! ^^ ))
Usul will speak up "I know the way! Try to keep up!" And head out towards the Wondrous Wares. And as he heads out he actually is tough to keep a track of, but he'll stop often enough to keep in view. And because of his leading we'll all arrive faster than any thought possible.
Feature: City Secrets
You know the secret patterns and flow to cities and can find passages through the urban sprawl that others would miss. When you are not in combat, you (and companions you lead) can travel between any two locations in the city twice as fast as your speed would normally allow.
You also see him talking to himself (or with a high enough perception to his pocket more specifically), as he leads the group.
Sen follows with the group, hanging around near the back but not the last in line. Never that. He tries to get as good a look at the unfamiliar city as he can without meeting the eye of anyone they pass.
Being somewhat of a leader, maybe for the first time ever in his life, Usul is enjoying his role, and will point out interesting city sites along the way to any nearby him ^^
Crush would walk towards the center of the group, keeping up with the gnome and pushing his way through any crowds that fail to move out of the way. Looking around and paying more attention to his companions than other on the street that might make the mistake of standing in front of him for too long, Crush would reach down and attempt to scoop up Veryes with his large gloved hand and place the halfling up on his shoulder. "You not get stepped on up here friend. You stay with Crush" The orc would grunt with what is as close to a smile as the large creature can muster.

"Ive heard it both ways."
Usul will reach up to return the handshake. "Nice to meet you. Let's see if we can find this girl. I'm sure we all have our own specialties."

Being a skilled hunter, Aria is able to keep up with Usul as they all traverse through the city. Aria yells out to Usul
"if there's something I know how to do is hunt. Not that we're hunting Anna... just that..."
Aria takes a breath...
"Some of the others may not be so fleet of foot."

"Ive heard it both ways."
I do all I can to follow Usul, but because of my polite upbringing say excuse me and sorry as I weave my way.

As you use Usul's series of shortcuts to speed through the city to Myrtle's shop, I want you all to make perception checks.
