Ptolus: 165 Vock Row - "Rat-catchers"

[Whizbang Dustyboots]

As the group pushes on into the dimness and dankness, they listen to the sounds filtering down from the streets above, but there are also mysterious noises coming from the other passageways. Some of them can be identified as someone using the sewer for its intended purpose, but others, like the sound of a woman laughing or what sounds like dozens of tiny mouths gnawing on something hard, are more mysterious.

The group is only about halfway to the Bankers' Guild, according to the map.

"This place is horrid. Can I go back to the Library?"

 

[Filthy]

Hearing the unknown woman's laughter echo through the tunnel, Valana mutters, "At least someone is having a good time." After the laughter fades away, Valana shakes her head and continues following the others through the passageway.

 

[Vdou]

"Probably Master Kunstler's sister-in-law" Ella says through a frown.

 

[Fyrie Windlitened]

"Well we're getting closer to finishing the further we go on." Mairan keeps on moving towards their goal.

 

[Aeshen]

Aeshen looks toward the passageway with the laugher remorsefully, sure that at it's source he'd find one of the myriad of places he'd rather be then skulking through a sewer. Sighing unhappily and resigned to his fate Aeshen resumes his vigil, keeping alert for anything that may interest the party.

The group pauses, looking at the map, trying to determine whether to take this tunnel north or the next one, when Aeshen spots a missing portion of the wall, the shadows creating a black mouth in one wall by the flickering firelight. The flames leap and jump, and he gets a momentary glimpse of what looks like statuary in the hollow.

 

[Aeshen]

Aeshen motions for the group to stop, "Hold, that wall isnt everything it appears. Mairan, take us in that direction and I think you'll find another room"

 

[Fyrie Windlitened]

Mairan looks slightly unconvinced of Aeshen's proclamation and replies "I think you and Thurst would be well suited to the task. I'm sure if there's anything that needs, adjusting or opening or well, operating, Thurst would be our best choice. You, of course, can check for any hidden dangers." Mairan seems pleased with herself having attempted to delegate this responsibility away.

 

[Filthy]

Valana steps back and slightly to the side, giving her a clear line of fire into the darkened room. Drawing her bow back, she points an arrow into the darkness, waiting for the others to go in. Or for something to come out.
