[QUOTE="Deuce Traveler, post: 5638701, member: 34958"] A familiar rookie Sewer Rat walks in during your discussion. It's Needles, a scrappy kobold that recently signed up, though he wasn't at the Pub at the time. He was probably working a shift as hired muscle somewhere. [color=teal]"Very good, Needles is here now, so we can get into further details. Chernguk, you can keep everything you find, except for sewer equipment or other City equipment. For instance, if I ever hear of you boys stealing copper piping from the sewers to sell for scrap, I'll have you out of the Sewer Rats and into prison.
