Your leader is a wererat named Slim, and you're all in the employ of a wizard from the Arcane Brotherhood named Vaelish Gant. A month or so ago, Gant brought you to Icewind Dale to help him stage a takeover. Your role has primarily been to recruit local thugs into a protection racket you've been putting together in Bryn Shander and elsewhere in the Dale, but now things are getting real.   Earlier in the day, Gant ordered you to kidnap Bryn Shander's speaker, Duvessa Shane, and prevent her from getting to a crucial public meeting at which Gant intends to stage a coup. The kidnapping went off without a hitch, and the speaker is currently bound and gagged in Gant's apartments.   Everything seemed like it was going to proceed according to plan, except that a few moments ago, some of your fellows showed up with two of the heroes: the little half-elf brat whose mother works in a brothel and the halfling with a serious lack of control over her magic (the big boss told you about how she turned bright blue while he was having dinner with the heroes in hopes of throwing them off his scent). The brat was claiming to be the "real" Duvessa, but Slim told them not to be idiots and to go and take care of them round the back.   Afterwards, Slim, who had a run-in with the heroes the night he murdered that pesky Harper, started making noises about slitting Duvessa's throat, even though Gant made it clear he wanted her kept alive ~ and it seems likely that Gant will find out, thanks to his pesky little quasit familiar, who's hanging around the apartment, invisibly spying on you.   Slim ordered you to expect the rest of the heroes soon, and sure enough, it sounds like someone has just triggered the glyph of warding Gant put on the front door.   What do you do?
