"Well, I guess that leaves me to lead our little group of explorers. I'm not much for telling people what to do, but I guess I can make an exception." Gannon says. "As Flawed proposed, we had better get some torches and something to light them with. I only have one sunrod. Afterwards, I say we find someone who can tell us how to get into the sewers. How does that sound?"
 


Rawide makes a "Gannon-face", quickly followed by a frown. "Hey! Why not make Rawhide ledder? Rawhide makes things dedder bedder, so I should be da ledder!"

OOC: Sorry, I could not resist... :p
 

"Well, you do a very good job at killing people, Rawhide, so let's just leave it at that. I think we should go down to the lowest possible level and find a guide who can help us in our search for a suitable entrance into the sewers."

OOC: Yeah, it was almost too good to pass up :)
 

OOC: Okay, my assumptions are as follows: (1) the party will spend a small portion of the money available on torches and tindertwigs, and (2) the party will descend into the lowest reaches of the towers to look for a guide that can help them find a suitable entrance into the sewers. The party can buy as many torches and tindertwigs (or even lanterns, oil, or sunrods) as they can carry at the rates listed in the PHB. Just tell me how much money you want to spend. As for number 2...

Everyone: Lady Elaydren's map leads you through a tangle of streets and stairs deep into the bowels of Dorasharn Tower. Little light from above enters into the tunnels and corridors in these levels, and their cobblestone streets and passageways are damp with runoff from the previous night's rainstorms. Occasional windows give views of other towers, other corridors, other places, while rotten wooden torches splutter and gasp. A thick smoke hangs over your heads.

The poor and downtrodden crowd around at corners. Urchins in ragged clothes peer at you from sooty pools of light. Shady looking men and women leer at you, with more than one offering their "services" for "not more than a silver." The scents of sewage, sweat, and alcohol combine into an unholy mix, assaulting your nostrils at every turn. Grease and oils cover the walls, turning the stone unhealthy shades of yellow and grey.

Finally, one tunnel opens into a large chamber. A mangy, flea-ridden hunting dog growls at you warily as you enter, a thick, wrought iron chain keeping him at a safe distance. A throng of shifters, humans, and various goblinoids congregate at the center of the chamber. In front of them, various pieces of junk and garbage are displayed on rotting, maggot-infested blankets. A small goblin held aloft in a chair calls out to the crowd. "No pushing! No pushing! There's always plenty of room for everyone in Smallweed's Market!"
 

As they walk along Rawhide seems perfectly at ease. In fact, he often "ooohhs" and "aaahhhss" at some of the scenery, as if he was impressed with the splendor. As they enter Smallweed's Market, he remarks offhandedly, "Ooooohh. 'Dis is a niiice place. Rawhide likes..." He then starts perusing the wares offered.
