Pathfinders of Pelligrew's Pinnace [IC 01]

[Maidhc O Casain]

You quickly (but thoroughly) search the rest of the granary, finding no more skeletal Black Echelon Operatives nor any sign of further disturbance.

When you exit Yargos Gill approaches quickly from across the shadowy street, his efforts at stealth almost comically exaggerated. "You dealt with the Operatives? Foiled their plan to poison the city's grain? Oh, my, oh, my . . . we simply must find Nessian and retrieve that codebook before he uses it to trigger another attack! I wish I knew where he makes his nest. I simply have no idea . . . but I know one who might. Grandmaster Torch is a broker of information. He makes his home in the Puddles district . . . I can take you there!"

"Then I suppose that is where we should make our way," says Abraxis, warily looking about for any signs of danger or threat. "I'd still like to inform the local constabulary of what we found here, though."

[sblock=OOC] Hey where's my walk through the puddles post?? Hope it isn't in another thread LOL [/sblock]

Leaf starts to work on the laces of his boots. "I dislike the Puddles district," he states flatly.

Leaf starts to work on the laces of his boots. "I dislike the Puddles district," he states flatly.

Lerissa looks at Leaf and chuckles, "Aww come on, what's not to like? Bad people doing bad things and no one cares when you whack them."

 

[HolyMan]

"I dislike water in my boots." Leaf says in all seriousness.

Lerissa

Lerissa looks at the others in the group not knowing whether to laugh or not and thinks to herself, OK...this guy is wound too tight.

 

[Maidhc O Casain]

You locate a city watchman in short order. He takes your statements with bored indifference, but does promise to send someone to the granary to check it out. (OOC: Are you giving him the vial?)

Yargos frets the entire time at the delay, muttering about finding Nessian before he gives the next signal and wringing his hands.

Finally, you're through with your report and ready to go. Yargos leads you deep into the Puddles, questing around and still muttering. Finally, with an apologetic glance at Leaf and his bare feet, he pulls open a sewer grate and indicates that you should climb down the ladder.

Lerissa

When Lerissa sees they are to descend below street level, she looks at Leaf. "This just keeps getting better and better."

 

[HolyMan]

His boots tied together and tossed over a shoulder Leaf looks at the ladder leading into the sewer.

"Well at least when we come up the water here in the Puddles will wash my feet," he says indifferently.

"Why do human cities always have such places as these?" he asks going down the ladder first.

[sblock=OOC] climb down on the defensive if possible and light a torch after reaching the bottom. [/sblock]

[sblock]Sorry for not being involved much. I somehow picked up a rather nasty infection which did things to my 'nether regions' I won't repeat where children might see them. And I reckon you'd all be crossing your legs and wincing if I told you where one of the tubes went while they were treating it... Still a bit feeble, but on some serious drugs now to try and get it under control so looking forward to my first solid food in 5 days hopefully this evening[/sblock]

OOC - I don't think we'll part with the vial of toxin just yet. Given the guard's attitude, who knows where it might end up. Besides, when the APG comes out, Mustapha is going to become the Absalom Poisoner, so this can be the start of his 'collection'
