Anything else for the Lady before I move on? If Derek, Jason and Randy would check in I will move on this afternoon.

Allistair thanks the Lady for her time and indicates she can descend from the rope first if she so desires.

Ran says nothing. He waits until at least on of the other two follows the lady out before he descends.

Allistair looks to Ragnar and Ranthir, arching his eyebrow, seeing if they have any other questions. When they do not respond he signals to the Lady to head down the rope. She shimmies down the rope followed by Ragnar then Ran and lastly Ally. The four stand in the middle of the room as Ally says the word of dismissal and the rope falls to the ground.
From out side the door a gruff male voice calls out "My Lady, are you done with breakfast yet?" "Give me a few minutes" she replying, gesturing for the others to eat the food on the tray before them. The four of them make quick work of the meal. Minutes later the Lady points at Ally and motions to his companions. Ally gets the hint and chants his spell. Touching the other two on their shoulders, they all vanish from site. The Lady calls out "You can come in now."
An older dwarf enters the room, walking towards the food cart. "My Lady, is there someone in here with you? I thought I heard voices?" "No, no" is her reply "I just pretend to talk to my husband when I have things to work out. It is a silly habit but I am just a woman." The dwarf nods and pushes the cart out of the room. Giving the party a few seconds to get through the door the Lady closes it behind them.
The three companions follow the dwarf down the hallways of the embassy. There are more people here now, mainly dwarves but a few humans here and there. As they go Ally realizes that this dwarf is going much slower leaving then the one they had followed coming in. By the time they get to the main entrance to the embassy Ally is fairly sure that it is going to be a very close call for them to get past the main gate before his spell ends. He signals to the others as best he can, trying to let them know the situation. Ragnar and Ran nod their heads, seemingly understanding.
In the back of his mind Ally is trying to figure out how much time is left. He is sure that they are down to less than half a minute when they finally get through the gate. He signals for the others to run as soon as they are beyond the gate. Behind them they hear a voice say "Shhh, did you hear that?" Ally looks behind him as he runs and several of the guards are listening in the direction the party is. He turns back forward just as they take a turn around the corner of a building. Seconds later Ally feels the spell expire. "I think we just made it."
The three companions make their way back to their rooms to fill the others in on what has happened.
OODM: I will let the party discuss what they want to do next

After Ragnar tells everyone what had happened, Allistair speaks up. "I think we should try and figure out what happened to King Dar, but we don't have a lot of leads and we don't exactly fit in here. We could probably start by taking a look at the caved-in passageway. We probably don't have to deal with people there, and there may be evidence left behind."
