Hammerdasher seems about as angry as Marrin/Marta has seen so far.

"Of course it's bloody still there," he says mostly to himself. "We should have realized she couldn't have just moved it right under our noses. Damn it all."

Ula places a hand on his arm to try and calm him.

Ethel is quiet and contemplative for a moment but finally nods and turns to Marrin/Marta, leaning on her cane as she does.

"We'd be giving her leverage over her competition and their families. She could hurt innocents because of what's in those ledgers," she says but then she takes a deep breath. "But given what we've seen so far and what Geffroi has seen, I think letting the Hargroves into that catacomb vault could end up meaning a lot more innocent people could be killed."

Her had runs absently over her own scars.

"And I can't say there wouldn't be some personal satisfaction in seeing the Hargrove's faces when they find out what we've done."

She gives Hammerdasher a consoling smile,

"We'll get it back, its why we're here."

She listens to Ethel and nods,

"Lesser of two evils with a bonus."

She rubs the bridge of her nose,

"I am not sure how I ended up here in life. This isn't anywhere near where I'd expected to find myself. Best to get this done while everyone is distracted, if we can."

Taking a deep breath she stands up and heads out to take a walk by the mess hall, guard rooms looking for a chance encounter with Jan and co.

Jan, Avaria, Geffroi and Soren are still on patrol, while extra guards are deployed to the entrances as well as guard towers that overlook the entrances. As they move, they do make their way past them mess hall where they spot Marta/Marrin, as well as Ethel, Ula, and Hammerdasher, noting that Hammerdasher looks even more red and flushed than usual.

There are still two other guards with Jan, Avaria, et al but they haven't shown themselves to be especially suspicious or hostile.
