IG's "Those Left Behind" Chapter 3

Talashia nods at Caerwyn and gives Buurt a wry smile.

"Then you might want to explore the sewers. You'll never find a more wretched hive of...villains and...bad things than this."

She shrugs, acknowledging her less than erudite estimate of the place, but forges resolutely ahead as if daring anyone to say something about it.

"well, if we hit the bars, then i'll just have to keep tha tin mind." He starts waking toward the door, if no one stops him, he opens it.
 

OOC: IG, how do you want to work this with us splitting up the party? :D I've been waiting WEEKS for the chance to make your life a living hell!!
 

Caerwyn, Shai, Talashia, and Buurt (OOC: I think that's everyone) approach the building together. A wooden placard hangs from rusted iron rings attached to a rotting post. The lettering, faded and weathered, identifies the place as the Crimson Dagger, and a misshapen dagger is carved into the wood between the words. Before Talashia can suggest that the sign could use a it of sprucing up, Caerwyn opens the door.

The scene inside is familiar: a swelling crowd full of spirit (and spirits!). Fortunately, the staff here seem more than capable of handling such a crowd, and the place seems to be in order despite excitement.

Buurt doesn't take long to notice the over-muscled half-orc standing ominously in the corner, apparently overseeing the place. His many scars and broken tusk suggest that he's seen more than his share of battles in this place.

Shazi flies overhead as Rogash and Uulark lead Dyspeer through the darkening alleyways in search of a nearby sewer entrance. One is found, finally, though probably farther away than desired. As Rogash prepares the proclamation that the search has ended, Dyspeer perks his ears at the sound of a whistling. As the others turn to see, a guardsman turns into the alley, flipping a shiny new silver coin.

"Oh, you again,"
he says, obviously startled to see you. Then, almost as an afterthought, he puts his hand on the hilt of his sword. "What're you doin' back here, anyway?"

Uulark says, "We are minding our own business, looking for a locket that my friend dropped through the sewer grate. I've not seen you before, have I? So I am curious why you are behaving like you know us? We have commited no offence, are you offering to help us look for the locket?"

The guard looks at the silver coin still in his hand, and quickly stuffs it into a purse before Uulark figures it out. "No," he says, confused. "No, I'll not help you look for it. Best be quick about it though, you'll find nothing when the light leaves us. Nothing good anyway."

The guardsman turns and leaves quickly, still clutching his purse in one hand, and his sword hilt in the other.

Without turning his back to this person, and putting a hand on his own weapon as well, Uulark will make a convincing show of peering down the grate and searching for a missing coin. He will also whisper to Rogash, "Best get down on your hands and knees like you're looking. When he's far enough away, we'll pretend to have found it and remove the grate. Then one of us can go down to retrieve it, the other will follow, and, Oh Criminy! What are we going to do with this bis-a$$ bloody dog??!!!"

[sblock=OOC]Yeah, I know Dyspeer's a wolf, but Uulark's a little bit peeved at the moment.[/sblock]

[sblock=OOC, IG]'Uulark' (Leif) still hasn't figured "it" out, whatever "it" is.[/sblock]
