[QUOTE="Phoenix, post: 3071734, member: 16166"] The water churned before him in mid-stream, the strange rat seemed to smile at him and for a moment Azot wondered if he'd said, or done, the right thing. An enormous tidal wave of stormwater rushed through the tunnel almost instantaneously, Azot barely heard the noise seconds before it hit. He went under, and his head hit something hard... [sblock=Azot]Water rushed in Azot's ears and darkness consumed him swiftly. Awaking, the thudding of his heart pounded in his ears causing his head to ache even more. Sitting up he shook his head a little to clear the water from his ears and get his bearings, where was he? It was some huge cavern, somewhere no doubt. It was strange, the noise of his heart beating still filled his ears, even though his ears seemed to have recovered. Trying to clear his head, Azot focused on the chamber around him, there was a great deal of water pooled around him where thick red vines drank deeply. The filthy corrupted water from the surface could not give sustenance to normal people without filtering, whatever fed here had either adapted well or was... ...dying... Azot's eyes stared up into the gigantic beating heart who's thudding still echoed through the chamber. The veins that ran from the organ suspended it in the centre of the chamber as well as feeding from the pools of water on the ground, it looked sick though, very sick. "Well you're the first person I've seen in here for a while..." Azot turned to a spot where a moment ago there was no-one. A strange halfling sat on a rock stroking the head of the rat that Azot had rescued. The halfling was dressed in the garb of a sewer shaman also, though not of Azot's ilk. "My name's Taran, this is Twitchy. He gets away from me sometimes, and those damn cannibal dwarves still roam the city. I'd like to thank you, but I don't think you'll like my reward..."[/sblock] [/QUOTE]
