Ptolus: 165 Vock Row - "Rat-catchers"

[Filthy]

"I think we should at least scout the southern tunnel before making a final decision. It may be a better choice if there's something to the north."

 

[Voca]

Mata nods in agreement with Valana.

Aeshen nods grimly and slips away into the darkness. He's gone a long time before returning.

"OK," he whispers. "This tunnel is shorter and is a straight shot to a shrine east of here. There's another bas-relief of the goddess coming out of one wall, although this one is armed and looks like she doesn't want us coming any further. There's a tunnel leading north, and it sounds like there might be ratlings there, but I didn't have a light source and didn't want to call any attention to myself by lighting one."

Noting a lack of interest, Thurst stuffs the studded leather armor in his pack before cleaning and reloading his Dragon Pistol.

Upon hearing Aeshen's report, the dwarf grunts, "Well, sounds like the southern route is the correct one, if possibly more dangerous."

"I wonder though, what sort of creature you caught wind of along the other path."

 

[Voca]

Mata glances at Valana. "How are you doing? We could be facing another fight sooner rather than later it seems." She hefts her crossbow and nods at Thurst. "Sounds like the south route holds our best chances for finding our vault-robber before Kunstler turns us in instead."

 

[Filthy]

"I'm doing much better now, thanks. Thurst patched me up pretty well ... and south does sound like the way to go."

 

[Whizbang Dustyboots]

"I wonder though, what sort of creature you caught wind of along the other path."

"Something smelly, that's all I know," Aeshen replies.

 

[Vdou]

"As if it didn't smell enough in here..."

 

[Whizbang Dustyboots]

"So, which way?" Mairan asks, obviously eager for battle.

 

[Voca]

"South", says Mata.
