<br/><br/>I personally would prefer to avoid involving any outside parties beyond the bare minimum, for the risk in many cases outweighs the benefits. Firstly, it dilutes the immediate reward of the wealth and treasures we will be gaining, but spreading them into one or more additional sets of hands. Secondly, it weakens the later reveal of our actions to the world; being seen as the pawns of a more powerful fiend instead of the architects of the plan could hurt our growing reputations. Lastly, we cannot truly trust anyone outside our immediate company to keep secrets. Each being beyond our council we invest with knowledge of the raid is another who could betray us to Malcanthet, or whom might have spies in their entourage capable of such betrayal.<br/><br/>Grazz't is possible. I fear Red Shroud is too close to Malcanthet to be trustworthy; even if she is not inclined to turn on us, undoubtedly her mother has agents in her care to watch for signs of such a coup.<br/><br/>
