Deuce Traveler's Sewer Rats

[Herobizkit]

Once safe, Pickwick slowly backs away to the rear of the group. His hands tremble uncontrollably for a brief moment, then he regains his composure. This is much different than hunting, he thought to himself.

He barely notices the arrival of the stranger, thought he does manage to glance in the newcomer's direction from the corner of his eye.

 

[[OMENRPG]Ben]

Chernguk casually walks over to the roach that he had slain, pressing his grimy booted foot upon its carapace and attempting to retrieve the bolt firmly lodged into its brain. He suspiciously regards the newcomer, vaguely pointing the crossbow at him, even though it is unloaded.

His beady eyes flick back and forth from the newcomer and the others, assessing their reactions to one another.

 

[Boddynock]

The party sees a muscular dwarf, dressed in nondescript browns, already filthy from splashing through the sewers. His flyaway hair and beard, a light ginger, hint at a careless nature but the bright, crystal blue eyes which stare confidently at them give the lie to that impression. He’s carrying a large crossbow which, unlike the goblin’s, is still loaded.

And is that a beer keg strapped to his back?

 

[Fangor the Fierce]

Needles inspects the newcomer, checking for an extra arm, a head growing out of the side of his neck. He even checks to see if this wandering fool has a few extra feet. A little disgruntled that it's just another dwarf, he eyes the dwarf with suspicion.

"Just where the hell did you come from and why are you down here?"

 

[Boddynock]

Gunzuul scowls.

“Where’d I come from? Topside? Why am I here? What’s the matter, are you deaf? I told you, I’m looking for a friend who’s looking for a magic mirror.”

“Look, do you know anything about where I can find this spot, or not?”

He advances, pulling a scrap of parchment out of his pocket and heading towards the other dwarf for preference (although he won’t turn his back on the kobold).

 

[Deuce Traveler]

OOC: It would seem from the dwarf's map and the party map, that you are all heading to the same chamber and same mirror.

 

[Fenris]

Gunzuul scowls.

“Where’d I come from? Topside? Why am I here? What’s the matter, are you deaf? I told you, I’m looking for a friend who’s looking for a magic mirror.”

“Look, do you know anything about where I can find this spot, or not?”

He advances, pulling a scrap of parchment out of his pocket and heading towards the other dwarf for preference (although he won’t turn his back on the kobold).

Fergus replies slowly "Yes Gunzuul, we know where that spot is. However we must warn you that the area is extraordinarily dangerous. We expect this to only get worse." says the dwarf gesturing to the overly large cockroaches.

"How was it that you came to look for your friend and why was she looking for this mirror?"

 

[ghostcat]

"Greetings Señor Farreach. I'm sorry but we have not seen anyone since we entered the sewers." Hardnose looks at the dwarf closely while checking to make sure that he is not evil. Once satisfied, he will continue "Actually, we are investigating a magic mirror. It could be our interests coincide. Why don't you join us, this part of the sewer is very dangerous at the moment and there is safety in numbers."

 

[Boddynock]

Looking at the cockroach corpses the dwarf says, "Hmm. You mean these aren't the usual sort of vermin you get down here?"

"Tania took on a commission from some stranger to report on the state of the mirror, despite my attempts to dissuade her. Brendarr tags along with her."

"Thing is, I'm convinced it's a setup. Don't know why or what's to be gained from it but I can't leave her in a lurch, so I intend to find her. And if you're headed that way, yeah, let's travel together."

[sblock=ghostcat]He's not evil. [/sblock]

 

[Herobizkit]

"Worse than giant cockroaches?!" Pickwick asked incredulously. He was reasonably sure his Dragon God would protect him. The others, well...

"And the bats! You poor fool! Wait until you see those bats!"
