Ptolus: 165 Vock Row - "Rat-catchers"

[Filthy]

While waiting for the others in front of her to climb into the sewers, Valana gets a strong whiff of the stench.

"Ugh, no wonder the ratlings live down here. No one wants to come down here to get rid of them", she says, wrinkling her nose in disgust.

Walking forward cautiously, seemingly unconcerned by the sewer stench, Mairan continues on ahead.

 

[Voca]

Mata falls in behind Aeshen, looking ahead excitedly.

Working their way along the dry shelf on one side of the flow, the group finds themselves almost immediately at an intersection.

Ella consults her map.

"Well, I suppose we should just follow the stench. But I'm not sure which one we should follow".

[sblock=ooc]
If this intersection is on the map, where does it look like the two paths go?

Any chance of getting some kind of reproduction of this map? [/sblock]

 

[Whizbang Dustyboots]

[sblock=ooc]Argh, producing a map would take me a long, long time with everything that's going on with me, like moving and the baby imminent. If someone wants to make/adapt a real-world sewer map that's based on a grid system, I'll take it and modify it and post it, though.

Ella cannot tell which direction is which down here. "Straight" and "left" are the choices as far as she can tell.[/sblock]

 

[Vdou]

[sblock=ooc]
I totally understand. I'll just wing it until I can find something suitable.

"Well, the path straight ahead smells a little less of sulfur, so perhaps we should go that way".

 

[Filthy]

Taking a small piece of chalk from her belt pouch, Valana retraces the groups steps down the tunnel. After about ten feet, she reaches up, standing on her tip toes, to make a small arrow indicating the groups passage on the right side of the sewer wall as high up as she can reach. Repeating the process, she similarly marks the tunnel in the direction the group continues with.

"With any luck, the marks will be up out of the ratlings line of sight and go unnoticed. Even if they don't, they should be too far up for the smaller ones to reach."

[sblock=ooc]If the group goes straight, she marks the straight tunnel. If left, she marks the left tunnel. Always on the right side and as high as she can reach.[/sblock]

 

[Wool]

Thurst continues to follow the group without comment or protest.

Mairan trudges on checking periodically for any movement or anything suspicious as they advance.
