Ptolus: 165 Vock Row - "Rat-catchers"

[Whizbang Dustyboots]

"What? WHAT?!" the watchman, already straining his armor and tabard to their limits, looks like a powderkeg ready to explode, shoving himself forward until he's belly-to-belly with Thurst. "You'll have to replace your own innards, once they pull my foot out of your --"

He splutters with incoherent rage, grabbing for his manacles.

"You get out of here, this second, or, so help me, I'll drop you in the prison and leave you there until the Spire turns to dust!"

 

[Filthy]

"Uhm ... yeah ... we're going this way." Valana says, trying to direct everyone north and away from the nearly apoplectic guardsman.

Smiling at Thurst,"Porterhouse", she says with a giggle once she's safely out of the hearing of the well fed dwarf.

 

[Wool]

Thurst frowns, obviously disappointed. "Alright alright, as much as I would like to help you with your exercise regiment, I really have much too much work to do."

Thurst waves and follows after Valana while the furious watchman futilely tries to find his manacles. "So much for being polite eh? That poor git has lived with humans for too long."

 

[Aeshen]

Aeshen wears an expression of casual disinterest as he watches the exchange between the dwarf and the party. When the party decides to leave Aeshen shrugs slightly and plods along after them

"My name's not 'Porterhouse!' It's Gutboy Barrelhouse -- AND I'M BIG-BONED!"

 

[Filthy]

"Dragons are big boned. He's big assed." Valana says, then quickly checking to make sure she's still out of earshot.

 

[Vdou]

Ella returns to the group with the map, which looks worse for wear. "Well, I found it." Ella states very matter-of-factly.

"There are a few footprints and some purple liquid spilled on the legend a little bit, but overall it looks ok."

Ella mutters a few Orcish curses under her breath and falls in line with the party.

 

[Voca]

Mata catches up with the party, looking a bit confused. "So we aren't going down the sewers? And why did that watchman glare at me and put his hand threateningly on the manacles when I passed him?"

 

[Aeshen]

Mairan seems amused by the exchange and somewhat impressed by Thurst's brave tactic. Following the group she hopes that an entry to the sewers is somewhere close to the direction they're going and if not a sewer entry then a pub or tavern at the very least.

She asks "Ella, do you think that map there holds anything that will help us getting down to this ratling?"


Ooc: I don't remember how to do the ooc tag and my computer is being fixed so I'm posting from Aeshen's and am staying logged in as him to be a courteous computer borrower.

Another manhole cover comes into few, although the street is getting busier and more trafficked as the group walks along.
