The halfling shoots you a dirty look at your use of the words 'small one', but keeps his mouth shut as he presses onwards.

He leads you down a twisting path through alleys and narrow streets, keeping well away from heavily trafficked areas.

It is not long before you are completely lost, and Karazi's paranoia seems somewhat less that totally unreasonable.

The Halfling doesn't make great efforts to keep an eye on you as he goes, and so it is some little time before he realizes that Karazi is gone.

"W-ha, where's 'e gone?" he says to Taalkar.
