Sizan stops half-way to the door, and looks back to the others. After glancing once to see if any City Watchmen were taking a renewed interest in the group, he makes his way back over to the others and Renear. "The cat man has a point. This is not the place for that sort of discussion. We have our clues, and I can guide us from there. I... know my way around them, and that's all I'll say on that. Now, unless milord has seen or overheard them use a discreet entrance nearby to the sewers, we best be going now."He says quietly, and then shoots Gargan and Cloudfur a warning look. If after Renaer has no answer for his somewhat indirect inquiry, Sizan steps out again with no intent of returning to the warehouse.

"Follow the yellow signs" Dori offers as he steps forward, glancing down at Yazara, still unsure of the man's loyalties before looking toward the others.
“They also informed us of the sewers, and of certain markers to follow as my friend points out. At least we have something to go on. Thank you for trying at least sir, I hope you find the rest of your day most quiet after the events of the last few. Perhaps we could share a drink once we have helped Mr Blaagmar to safety?” As he finishes with a smile, thinking to himself Much could come of such a friendship, the broodmother would be most pleased.
Renaer replies "The rest of my day will be the same as yours - finding Floon. I'm coming with you - I'm not just a pretty face you know." and with that pulls out the dagger he picked up, flips it in the air and sends it flying towards a nearby lamp post, sticking it dead center with a satisfying thunk. "We'll drink after to be sure. Lead on friends."
Sariel helps the city watch with the bodies and does final rites to those. As a cleric, it his duty to make sure that these souls are laid to rest. After, he heads towards the group. Seeing Raenar, he introduces himself. "I'm Sariel. Nice to meet you." He looks at the others. "Shall we retire at the Yawning Portal?"
"No."Sizan states, turning away from giving Renaer a skeptical look to regard Sariel. "It will not take Xanathar's agents long to figure out the mistake. When they do your employer's friend is sure not to live past the night. There is but time enough for a short rest. But after, I would insist we do not tarry for any longer." He says to Sariel before looking back to Renaer. "Milord. I would be remiss if I did not state that you should not come... but legally speaking, as our-..."He glances to the others. "... my hands are tied. If you insist on this then so be it. But try to play at least somewhat safe. If either organizations get a hold of you again, you may not be so lucky."
Sizan then motions for everyone to follow him. First to some place out of temporary sight for folk to recover from the recent ordeal, and then to a manhole not five minutes away from that. He will of course leave any heavy lifting to Dori as far as getting inside goes. But once in, he climbs down first, and starts leading the way. Those without darkvision would have to rely on their own methods of illumination. Though in such an event, Sizan puts a bit more distance between himself and the part so that his form was always partially enshrouded.
Do anyone needs to do a investigation for signs? Or will a passive of 15 suffice for the search?

"If you know the way to the beautiful red haired man named Floon, then I will follow." Dori stared blankly at Yazara whether he was being paid the same attention or not. "But if my time is wasted, not even the laws of this city will help you." The goliath looking to the others of his group and beckoning them to follow along.
The tabaxi thinks that wherever this Floon character has gone is where we need to go - this Yazara fellow seems to have a better idea than the rest of us. He'll move over to the open manhole and drop down in to the sewers.
You climb down into the sewer, pulling the cover closed as you descend. On reaching the bottom you are in total darkness and Dori lights a torch so those without Darkvision can see. A putrid stream flows along this sewer tunnel, which leads in two directions. In one direction, you see a tiny familiar symbol drawn on the wall in yellow chalk: a palm-sized circle with ten equidistant spokes radiating out from its circumference. At each intersection you come to, after some searching you find a similar symbol that indicates which direction to take. You travel for a good hour in several different directions, often feeling like you're going in circles. Eventually, you come to a three-way intersection where a ladder leads up into a stone shaft capped by a circular metal cover. One of the familiar chalk symbols is marked on a wall nearby, and floating near the symbol is a spherical, grapefruit-sized creature with a bulging central eye and four stumpy eyestalks. It bares its teeth at you.
Sizan mutters a curse under his breathe, and then aloud upon seeing Dori casually continue forward, "Keep your guard, grey one. But don't lash out unless it does so first. Danger down here comes in all sort unspeakable fashions." And then he crosses to the other side of the sewer, either ignoring or biting back any comment on the sludge until he is on the other side. Once there he says something in an almost indescribable language. It was simultaneously loud whispers, brilliant song, and what sounded like wet squelching noise from wet flesh trailing off more of itself. At other times it sounded as if he was speaking in elvish, if not draconic... but reversed and perverted in some ways.
"Top of the evening to ya, my good floating eye! Don't 'spose you'd be willing to let me and mines pass untroubled would you? You... can understand me?"

Sizan: The beast seems to have not noticed or understood you, or it did and doesn't care. It continues to bare it's teeth with a guttural growl coming from its mouth.
(If Sizan or Dori have bonus actions they can take them, otherwise Sariel and Cloudfur are up before the beast, and then Gargan.)

Creature is about 40 feet away up in the intersection in a somewhat open area.
