"Now listen here and listen hear closely Mr Jarlaxle. If you have been snooping around perving on my movement then you would know also who I work with and I don't mean just the Church of All Mightly Mystra."
Phaedra puffs out her chest with pride as she flashes the symbol of her organisation (the Harpers) which she keeps on a separate chain near her holy symbol of Mystra.
"Yes the Harpers and we Harpers do not bow to the intimidation of groups of ruffians who do not have the interest of the good City of Waterdeep and it's people in there hearts."
During her impassioned speech, the gold flecks in Phaedra eyes start to expand and glow, until they swallow her usual blue colour with golden light. Phaedra glares back at the others (only those who are looking intimidated).
"Are you going to let his man tell us what to do. I thought we where the Trollskull Triumphant and we are not told what to do."
The clerics eyes especially settle on Kestrell. "For all your bravado Kestrell, I thought you had a bigger pair."
Despite Phaedras words something about the drow began to make Selinae reconsider her words.
She remembered how she had met the group, wait...was he part of the same group of drow? Drow were not common in Waterdeep, two armed groups of them at once would be....
And all the worries about the drow finding her parents came flooding back.
" You......you are working for Zord?"
She looked at Phaedra with deep shame in her eyes as she stepped back a little...
Jarlaxle smiles a sweet smile, "I'm quite familiar with the Harpers, though I must admit that I was unaware of your affiliation with them. As to the other matters there seems to be a misunderstanding. As I said before, we're both trying to find the money in order to return it to the city. I fail to see why you would refuse to work with someone who shares your goals and who is willing to pay you to do what you were already going to do. You appear to be contrary just for the sake of it. But if you don't wish my help, so be it. I'll be at the theater should you reconsider."
Looking to Sel, he simply shakes his head. "No, I do not."
The Drow turns to leave. As he does so he transforms back into Laeral Silverhand. He pauses and looks back to Kestrell, "I would suggest a simple moniker, something like `The Nameless`. I made the mistake of choosing a name that no one but the Drow ever pronounce correctly. It's quite frustrating."
With that s/he continues to walk down the alley, past the children who are still playing in the trash, and eventually back out onto the street.
Kestrell looks at the other members of the group. "That fellow was intimidating. You all don't think we should partner up with him, do you? I don't think we should."
"No I don't Kestrell! Stop your whimpering. He tried to deceive us and pass himself off as Laeral Silverhand. If he really wanted what was best for the city he would not have done that nor would he be paying us 10,000 coins to give him the keys to a hoard of gold and we just need to trust his word that he's going to hand it over in the end. Don't be so nieve...
And his excuse for not going after the Stone himself... just ahhh"
Silver just snaps out of whatever presence that man had as he walks away turning his attention back to his companions "Let's just get going why don't we."
Selinae felt pleased with Phaedras words, " Did you believe him? About not working with Zord? Would be strange to have two groups of armed Drow in Waterdeep....unless he's here by himself. Has anyone heard of his company? Bragan Darth.....was it?"
You all set off for the Southern Ward, taking the time to talk to some of your contacts along the way. Soon you are able to piece together an idea of where to look for the cellar complex refuge that the Xanathar Guild are using. Shortly after noon you arrive where you were directed and down some stone steps only to find a locked, iron-bound wooden door with a sign mounted on it that reads, in Common, “SEWER ACCESS: AUTHORIZED CITY OFFICIALS ONLY.”
Silver slowly begins to look around as he approaches the door continuing to inspect it as he holds a finger to his lips for the others to be silent. His eyes work to try and take in every small detail looking for anything the Xanathar guild may have left behind to indict another interest. If non are found he will just knock on the door three times.

"We need Vassa here, he loves the sewers. What do you all think? Should we try to break or pick the lock? Or I can Help Serinade try to bash our way through this thing."
Kestrell pauses and thinks.
"I could get hold of my buddy Barny the mage and see if he'll give us 'Official City Authorization' to go inside here."

The door is locked, but you get the feeling that you could probably break it open.

Silver just smiles as he begins to run his hand around the door frame, his eyes following closely to the path as he searches the door for traps before trying to turn the knob. If the door does not open, he will reach into his pocket pulling out his thieves tools and begin to pick the lock.

Kestrell hops back to avoid being stepped on by Selinae.
He can't help but notice the chest puffing from Phaedra, nd feels slightly emboldened, especially when she questions his pair.
Kestrell steps out from behind Selinae and walks over to get behind Phaedra. He's tall so he looks over her head at the stranger.
"I don't think we decided on 'Trollskull Triumphant' yet. I was hoping to stay with the alcohol and dairy theme."
Kestrell addresses the stranger "Phaedra's right, you may be intimidating, but I'll stand with (or slightly behind) her."

"Yes, that's right!" Kestrell exclaims excitedly. Feeling better now that Phaedra points out all of these things.
"Maybe we should have taken him prisoner?"
"Very well, let's head over to explore the cellar and see what we can see."
Kestrell starts off towards the cellar, still pushing the apple cart.
Silver just snaps out of whatever presence that man had as he walks away turning his attention back to his companions "Let's just get going why don't we."
