Alright, here's the sitch. The party, after learning where they might find Moses Greeley, arrived at his den (Area F) and in the ensuing search and investigation, the players split the party (another long story in an of itself) and managed to let Greeley escape. Now, one PC did manage to bull rush one of the flunkies off the roof, so there was that.
Anyway, they then were sent by Magistrate Drune to the House. Now, they didn't infiltrate via the wall tunnels, because after dealing with a pair of ogre spiders, they decided those tunnels were a no-go. So, they reconnoiter the house and then make an entrance into the Old Temple (area G11) via a hole in the wall. They then proceeded to go into the gallery (area G12), fight the cult members, discover the elevator, and descend to the Drowned Presbytery. There they managed to take out the phase spider guards, cult rabble, and Mog-Lathar through clever yet unexpected combat actions. This is where we stopped the session.
So, my conundrum is this: the PCs dragged Myra out with them so she's alive and subdued, the rest of the house still needs to be explored, and Moses Greeley is in the wind. What do the inhabitants of the house do now that Mog-Lathar has been beaten? Do they even realize? What does Moses Greeley do after successfully escaping?
Any ideas/suggestions are welcome!

Are the players really itching to find Moses Greeley? Or do they not care one iota and frankly, won't even remember him? I mean, if the players are panic-screaming like, 'Come on guys, we gotta go get that bastard; hurry, hurry!' Then you gotta design some more Moses Greeley stuff -- And whatever idea the PCs come up with to find a trail or a clue, *whatever* idea the PCs come up with to find a trail or clue -- it works and they go to his '2nd hideout' or 'safehouse' or whatever. .... If, on the other hand, the PCs have no idea even one session later who what's-his-name even was, 'Oh, you mean that sorta-bad-guy at the drug den? Um?...' But they're excited to go somewhere else or do something else. Well, inform them that off-camera or off-stage that guy got captured by some Korvosan Guard or a Sable Marine. And let them go somewhere else. .... Finally, if a couple players are interested in tracking him down 'just in case' and the group is unsure how important Moses Greeley is, and then vote (or whatever) and do 'Something Else' -- Mwahahahaha -- Moses Greeley can return while they're doing 'Something Else' and bite them in their backside. And that'll be fun for the group.
Sage advice. I appreciate it. We only play once a month so I'll make sure to mention Greeley in the recap when next we convene and see what they decide.
