A much deeper voice calls from the NE tunnel above, "Same place, usual time for the goods.."

OCC: Sue are we supposed to know where this meeting place is? Any idea what response Woody should give to draw out the location of the drop. Can Woody say the drop has to be at another location? What excuse should he use? Looking for ideas.

Woody can clearly see the youth's metal nose ring.

Woody will speak up. "The drop place needs to change. I have been sent here by Taffis to impersonate him. He told me that he believes he is being followed and it is unsafe for him to be seen in public. He gave me this disguise so you would not panic for having someone else show up at this meet."

"Where's the proof?" asks the deeper voice.

Woody puts his hand out to show the minotaur ring an says, "here is the proof I'm working for Taffis." "Now let's pick a new spot and get out of here."

Sue watches and waits.

Jim waits as well

The ring is collected via the dangled pouch, verified and passed back to Woody.
Deep voice from above calls out, "We will be here on Selûne's first quarter. Now you may go."

======
Selûne is Faerun's moon.

Woody will walk away in the direction he came from. Once in the clear he will write down that information and meet up with the others.

Woody withdraws, makes his notes and meets up with the other three.
There is no evidence of being followed.

What next?

Woody provide the new information to the group. "Shall we go back the way we came or try a different direction? It would be nice to sleep in a warm bed tonight."

"I would not say no to a bed." Jim says. Looking perplexed he addresses Sue "Did you get what you needed from that meeting? What is your next move?"
