As Iggy sets off he also tries to puzzle out if the scents he detected -Tar, hemp, Okrah, animal skins mainly of the big cat family, with a hint of ivory - lead him to a particular profession or area of the city. Taxidermist or Big-game hunter, perhaps? Maybe an Adventurer's club?
You seem to remember the smell of tar and hemp from when you were on the boat with the hell midget and from boatyards in general. As for the other smells, the connection eludes you for now..
You might have to work this out for yourself
As well as you can you follow the scents. They lead downsewer eventually leading to an access hatch in a slum near Kingsland basin on the Thames.

Iggy comes up to the bank of the river and frowns.
"Maybe they got on a boat." he shrugs. "Many of the smells they had were associated with boats - hemp and tar. But others were more like a big-game hunter - skins of big cats and ivory. The Orah is also an African tie-in. We should probably check for any boats recently from that continent. Is there a way we can collect Hob first?" Iggy says.
Elizabeth finishes putting out the fuming barrels. "It is definitely looking like our culprits are using a ship-based method of travel. So much for Her Majesties Navy. Yes, lets go find Hob. With magic and wild animals involved, we need all the help we can get."

Lady Elizabeth and Iggy, you are currently covered in filth and dried blood and in Iggy's case whatever comes out of a goblin wben they almost get torn in half. People are already staring..

Elizabeth looks down at herself. "Damn... This attire is not proper for the public." Elizabeth looks around for some water, changing her PURSE into a water purifier with a few click and knobs. After obtaining the water, she adjusts the PURSE again, using the machine to quickly clean herself, removing all the dirt and muck from her dress. Once she finished, she looked at Iggy.
"I assume you would like to not look like you have been recently mauled by a sewer dragon?"

As for the water purifier..it will wash some of the gunge out of you. So now you smell slightly less and are damp..Iggy still has an enormous tear in the clothing around his abdomen. It may also be a little odd to the onlookers. However, just the two of you together is relatively odd.

"Well. I could probably make us dry, but nothing is going to make us presentable to a high class society other than a change. I think our best bet is to regroup at headquarters. We should be able to get a change of clothes and I can pick up some more effective gear. We could probably contact Hobbs there as well."

[Nowhere it mentioned they followed us, GM. I thought you were trying to get the PCs together by hinting we should go change and regroup. And is Hobb still in the game?]
