Thanking Janiven for the potions, Tiko asks, "So where are we going? And if we have to fight, what is our goal? Simply to escape or to kill?"
"Well, right now we are headed to the safe house but if we can't lose the Hellknights, we are gonna divert as I'd like to keep that safehouse unknown to them. As far as fighting, I always say never leave anything undone but killing is a personal decision you have to make for yourself."
As the group progresses further into the sewers you begin to notice, thanks to Suzume's light, that Westcrown's sewer system really is impressive. Though barely above sea level, the cleverly designed sewer tunnels continue to carry Westcrown's filth away, and for the most part, citizens never think about the sanitation process. Up ahead the ceiling begins to slope down to a height of 5' and those of you who are taller than this will have to stoop. There is a 3' deep trench at your feet that carries water and filth and takes up half the 10' wide tunnel and is located in the center - leaving 2 1/2' stone ledge on each side, which you notice is a bit slippery at junction points. You begin to mentally thank the engineers as even with all the rain Westcrown has had the past few days, the water in here still remains below the side walkways. They have done an excellent job indeed.
As the group moves further ahead, you all notice rainwater enters the sewers from tiny barred grates in the streets, most so small that an adult halfling couldn’t squeeze through, and travels through an angled pipe that directs the runoff to the closest tunnel’s drainage side, exiting about a foot above the peak flow-level of the sewer channel. These grates also supply the only light in these tunnels so that at this time of day/ evening, it's almost completely dark.
[sblock=Anundr] As you move forward to join Liath, you find, you've moved far enough from Suzume's light source that you can not see her any longer. You hear movement from up ahead but are unable to see clearly. [/sblock]
