You arrive at the meeting room, to find that the door is already closed and locked. You can hear people talking inside. It is considered impolite to eavesdrop, and you're about to leave, when you overhear something.

"I don't care, Lhotun. You work for the Fortesias now. Remember your place."

This catches your attention, and you immediately decide to forgo common courtesey, for the sake of self interest. You press your ear to the door and listen.

"I have not forgotten our arrangement, madame." says a man. "But you did not tell us that the Trade Prince of the Iliac Bay was going to be here, as well. This could jeapordize our whole operation."

"You just keep that missive safe, Redguard." comes another man's voice. "We will deal with him."

"Yes, milord." says Lhotun.

At that, you hear the rummaging of chairs and movement. They're about to leave the meeting room.

A) Retreat back downstairs. You will have to go down the longer hallway, and they may catch a glimpse of you before you are out of sight.

B) Run down the shorter hallway and hide around the corner. They will not see you, assuming they are not heading down the same hallway.

C) Attempt to enter the room behind you, hoping the door is unlocked.

D) Quickly go halfway down the hallway, then turn around and start walking back, hoping to give the appearance that you only just came upstairs a moment ago.
