[ooc] did you say children were playing? was that the children re-enacting the grisly murder in the town square earlier in the day, or is this a different group? [/ooc]
"Don't let you muscles overrule your brain lad. You don't want to join this club. You can bet the game won't be fair. If any of us were to win a substantial bet I suspect the best you could hope for would be a good beating out back if not a dagger clogging your windpipe." Considering further he adds, "You know if the lot in charge of this place has been working on something in the sewers, there might be a better way for us to get in. Perhaps we could come in from below?"

Shai fidgets a bit.
"Only that means we gotta try to make our way through the tunnels, which might be a whole 'nother set of fights.
"If the fights are in the basement, what's up top? Is there a reason we might go there? I mean, you might have to lay low, Rogash, unless Talashia has some magic what can disguise you, but none of the rest of us have been in there. Maybe we could talk our way downstairs, or maybe White Plume's up top for now.
"I mean, it can't be worse than slogging through goo critters ...

[ooc] i understand now!! clear as mud! [/ooc]
caerwyn considers rogash's words, especially the bit about the dagger and throat.
"white plume is probably to 'safisticed to get his hands dirty and is probablyin some office counting his coin in the upstairs area. comming from below somehow might be the best stealty way to do this. prehaps we need some sewer access, but i still need my bow."
Talashia tries to keep her thoughts together as everyone makes different suggestions in rapid succession. The fact is that she simply has no idea what the best idea is. Piecing it together takes her longer than her pride likes...but the fact was that she wasn't some superintelligent wizard molding the cosmos by means of words of power and painstaking knowledge of the secret laws of reality.
The power she had came from in her heart, in her blood. She wasn't stupid, but after a few years at the academy she knew she could only understand the barest rudiments of wizarding theories. She'd learned a lot at the academy, and she knew a lot about subjects few people did, but at times like this she had to really work to try to decide what to do next.
"All right," she said quietly, waving a hand at the others. "All right. Just a second. We can either stay out here and wait for him to leave, then track him home...or we can go inside and watch him in there...or we can go to the sewers and see if there's anything -under- this place. Those are the options we're looking at."
After a moment she says, "I think we have to go in, at least some of us. Our goal is to find out what he's doing...and for all we know, he's doing it in there. Waiting out here may make us miss vital clues."
She nods.
"So that we're not easily overpowered, it might be best we all go...but that will also make us more obvious. What do you think?"
"Perhaps I'm flattering myself, but I suspect he'll remember me. Rokelsh was in the cage with me when I first met he of the foppish topper. You can see the delight that worthless cur took in killing him. He's not likely to forget. If I go in there we'll likely be in a confrontation. Now I don't have a problem with that, I just want to make sure you're all clear on that so that nobody is surprised."
"I was just trying to decide who should go and who should wait, and, believe it or not, I arrived at the same conclusion as you, Talashia. I also think that we should all go. But, you are correct, if we all do this, we shall have to be very circumspect, and I don't think it would be good for us all to enter in one group. I volunteer to go in the last group to enter, seeing as how I have no personal stake in this matter."
OOC: Quick! Have Talashia say something nasty! We can't have these two getting along, can we?

"as much as i can guess what we may encounter , I actually suggest that we enter from the sewers. despite the fact that ZI know we wilo encounter more chaos beasts, at least we can use the presence in the sewers as a ruse, as we have permission to be there. which reminds me, do you think we can get written permission from the magister to be ther as agents of the city? he might be in a good mood now that he has murdered an innocent person."
"I don't think we should even try to get written permission. We know, or at least suspect that the Magister is in league with our foes, so telling him what we plan will probably alert the enemy to our plans and we would thus lose any sense of surprise that we would otherwise have."
"But, then again, thinking about it more now, it occurs to me that if we seek permission to enter the sewers, and then enter the place from the street, we might just be able to catch them at unawares! Just a thought."

"Well Actually I wasn't suggesting we tell the magister any thing at all, except that we are going back into the sewwers to aquire proof that these chaos beasts exist, aas per what the magister request of us.
"I'm with Talashia. The longer we wait, the more we might miss, and the front door's the quickest way in. But if Rogash is right, he might need to stay our here. Maybe Dys should stick with him, and Tal's ... little buddy. I don't know that a place like that would be keen on a wolf, or a batty man. And if there's trouble outside, Dys has a pretty loud howl; ought to get our attention, I'd hope.
"Since we might still have to come back here from underground, maybe Rogash can take a look around for the closest sewer entrances while we're inside?"
"Fine, then. Since so many of you feel that way, I'll add my voice to yours as well. But, please, can we just hurry up and DO this? Too much waiting undermines my righteous resolve."
"And we can't be having an unrighteous priest now, can we?"

What's this, the party is splitting up? Wonderful! That's always a great idea!

OOC: I agree totally, IG. *sigh* However, the group has shown disdain for my ideas of late, so Uulark will go with Rogash, and lend his spear and spells to the Dwarf's efforts.
