Growl listens to determine the truth of the woman's answers to Andrec's questions.

[TwoHeadsBarking]

She claims that Bruno uses a relic, a rod of some sort, to drain the skills and talents of others. The action is often accompanied by a ritual, including plenty of the pungent incense you're all familiar with, but she suspects this is theatrics on Bruno's part. Growl confirms that she's being honest.

Growl nods to his companions, indicating he's ready to go.

 

[Tomalak]

Pulling his companions aside, Andrec whispers "With luck, destroying the rod ought to reverse the effect. If not, we may be required to execute the beneficiaries in order to restore the victims. Probably best if we can obtain the rod and this Bruno character intact, for study. Do we have any further questions for our 'guest'?"

"I agree" whispers Skalisss. "I have no further questionsss, it isss time to end thisss foolsss reign of terror."

 

[Tomalak]

Hokay boss, we ready to go!

I'd like to make a couple passes through the undergrowth before approaching. I want to get an idea of what's around this 'hideout,' in order to identify possible entrances and escape routes.

 

[garyh]

Along with Andrec, Growl keeps his optics peeled when the approach they hideout.

 

[TwoHeadsBarking]

The hideout itself is in the sewers beneath the Undergrowth, and as such it will be difficult, if not impossible, to case it without being practically in it. However, you are able to inspect the places where the sewers meet the surface.

There isn't much to show which entrances are more frequently used than the others, but there are some clues: moss scraped away from nearby stones, or a path cleared through a pile of refuse. It also doesn't appear that any of the entrances are being watched either. True, the few people you see out here pull away from your gaze and do their best to avoid your attention, but you get the feeling that they just don't want to be noticed by armed outsiders.

 

[garyh]

Growl looks at his companions and nods. "I'm ready. Let's finish this."

 

[JRYoung]

"Netari give usss ssstrength" Skalisss prays, then takes the lead into the sewers. "Follow me, reckoning isss at hand..."
