Nethezar yells at Kushnak.  "S'posed to be here yesterday, but damn Sammy here read the blasted map wrong!  Spent all afternoon checking the same damn tunnel another crew just checked last week!" Nethezar slaps Erdolliel on the shoulder.He turns back to the guard.  "While you're here, you mind lowering the cover back on after we get down there?  We'll be down there at least a couple hours, and we'd have hell to pay if some dumb tourist fell in the hole in the meantime."In short order, the trio finds themselves in the sewers with a guard lowering the cover back in place over them, while thanking the gods he doesn't have your job.</blockquote>
