"Bah, That's what I get for asking a walking carpet." Terrance gestures over his shoulder with his thumb. "Yeah, it became a whole thing and now I've got almost no leads, and a friend who has turned into rats." Terrance looks at the wolfish figure in front of him, taking note of the red cord around the wrists.

Zaroc continues to crawl around the guards until he sees Terrence exiting the bar. At this point he will leap off of guards simultaneously and silently and dash towards the kitchens, sniffing for any prepared food to take.

You were able to overhear the old man telling the genasi where they would meet up, just before the illusion appeared on the table across the room and the swarm of rats covered the guards. As you walk casually to the front door, an old heavily armored dwarf pushes past you and starts frantically asking The White Wolf from the market if he saw which way the old man went. Additionally you hear something about him being friends with the rats.
@Zaroc
As you enter the kitchen, the smell of dumplings fills your collective nostrils, coming from the counter on the left side of the small, messy kitchen.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Zaroc puts a dumpling in each of his rat mouths (Im guessing 24. rat hp=1, swarm of rats hp=24) and looks for a widow to escape out of. (If there is a window he attempts to climb out, if not he tries to run behind the bar using it as a barrier to him and the guards out the door into an alley)
There is no window. The kitchen of this shabby little place is more like a closet with a grill in it, than any kitchen you have ever seen. Seems there is only one way out. You dart behind the bar and Amber starts yelling and stomping, "Con founded fribber frackin blasted scoundrels! I'll kill ev'ry one o' ye and brew ye inta stew!"
Ducolis will stand next to the door leaning against the building and say to terence "ehum, I overheard you were looking for that old man and I happen to have heard where he will be soon. I also happen to have lost a silver coin back there so how about we make a deal?"
Everyone in the bar stops and looks at Amber, her dwarvish rage is something all regulars of Bottom Rock are familiar with, and know to give respect to. In a tavern full of some of the roughest, toughest, men in the city, this little dwarf woman behind the bar is the most feared. She has become, sort of an angry mom to the regulars over the years, and they know if mom is angry, she is not to be messed with.
The guards, now regaining their composure, realize they have been tricked, and now scan the room in search for the old man. They turn to a scrawny impoverished dwarf barking to him, "I thought you said he was here? Are you a liar, are you mad, or are you just plain stupid?".
He responds in a confused and cowardly voice, "i-i-i-i i know he was hear i just know it. Two dwarves at the bar were talking abouts him and thinking if they should talks to him. he was sitting besides a blue fellow wif stones in him heads he was. looked just like the cant see no more man on the table. i swears it i swears it!"
Terrance turns from the White Wolf and faces the form that collided with him earlier. "You happened to have heard where he will be, is this in the same vain as you happening to have walked into me, and happening to throw a silver coin at me that you lost." Terrance scowls up at the triton. "You've got some nerve fish-boy trying to extort money out of me after I've done you the kindness of not slaughtering you. Here's my counter proposal you tell me where the old man went and I'll do you the kindness of not separating you're kneecaps from your legs."
"I don't see a need for violence and I also suggest that you keep yourself contained considering I am the only one in this situation with the information you seem to need."Ducolis says with a smug smile on his face clearly content to have the upper hand in this situation. "As for my offer, I am also curious about what this man claims. I could use your help and you and your ... Eh friends (pointing to the rats) could probably use mine, because this man is quite powerful. So I give you the information and you help me find out about the claims of this man. It's a win win for both of us." After a brief pause Ducolis adds "I would also like to be reunited with my money."
Terrance stares at the Triton face reddening, muscles spasming, he turns away and releases a torrent of swearwords in dwarvish questioning the parentage of the merman. After a few minutes he turns back to the smug figure."Fine you may tag along, but lets get something straight here gill for brains, I don't like you, I don't like your attitude, and if I didn't need your information your head would already be a squishy pulp on the road. As for the matter of your 'money', you lost all rights of ownership the moment you threw it at me. If you've got a problem with that I gave it to a small beggar girl, so you can go show how you're such a big, strong, entitled fillet of fish by ripping your pride from the hands of those who are less fortunate." Terrance huffs and puffs after his tirade. Turning his back to the Triton and facing in towards the Bottom Rock Tavern he calls over his shoulder, "My name is Terrance Fimbulvinter, and if you're going to accompany me we'll have to go get Zaroc first."
Terrance runs after the rats and calls back at the Triton, "Little Fishy whatever your name is, follow me we've got to meet up with Zaroc before we get started."

As Terrance and Ducolis speak, the White Wolf is processing the 'my friend' being the rats comment. He winces as some of the rats are damaged. The moment he's certain Terrance isn't going to attack, the Wolf ducks back out of the tavern in search of the rats.
Before he can be found, the 11 of the remaining 22 rats eat their dumplings. When he sees Terrence he remains in rat form and presents the other 11 dumplings to Terrence, paws and little rat bodies outstretched

@Terrance
The red threads are of no significance to you.
Zaroc puts a dumpling in each of his rat mouths (Im guessing 24. rat hp=1, swarm of rats hp=24) and looks for a widow to escape out of.

General roll for window I guess 19

@Zaroc
take 2d4 bludgeoning damage
Zaroc darts out the door and into an alley leaving behind any rats that may have been trampled

As he says that, a swarm of rats (a few less than before) runs out of the tavern and into an alleyway
"Oh Rats"
Terrance runs after the rats and calls back at the Triton, "Little Fishy whatever your name is, follow me we've got to meet up with Zaroc before we get started."

Survival, for rat tracking: 24
Before he can be found, the 11 of the remaining 22 rats eat their dumplings. When he sees Terrence he remains in rat form and presents the other 11 dumplings to Terrence, paws and little rat bodies outstretched
White Wolf you see rat tracks outside leading to a nearby allyway.
