Ptolus: 165 Vock Row

[Wool]

How much time are you guys willing to spend digging through the books? Despite the librarian's index, it's mostly just notations -- not always in alphabetical order -- of which books mention something. Even then, he misses some short references. You guys will be doing a lot of research the old-fashioned way, grabbing likely books and scanning for key words you're interested in.

I don't care personally. Thurst isn't looking for anything particularly complicated or obscure, he is studying what should be ordered and structured documents. He isn't going to use the information to lead the group's efforts or anything; it's just supplementary information.

While I can see overlaying adventurer maps with the blueprints being beneficial, I expect his efforts to be more useful while actually in the sewers. I don't really know how exactly, understanding how the system around him works just sounds like something that would keep him grounded.

Additionally, he disapproves of wizards' tendancies on unusual experimentations. I didn't really take the time to get into it while in Vock Row. (I was waiting to see if someone would be offended first ) He believes in order and they perpetuate chaos. He suspects that wizards are to blame for this abomination. I don't know where you are going with the story, but if things turn out a certain way I have a few ideas on what to do with the four armed rat.

I guess how much more time I'm willing to spend on research would depend on what we've learned so far.

This is me getting put in my place. Up to you guys how much time we spend here.

Edit: Apologies on taking liberties with my description of Ella. I know she likes to read, I know she is cheerful. I know she dropped a staff on Thurst's foot.

No worries, it was on point. I figure if someone has the wrong impression of her I need to do a better job of being in character.

Why do I get the feeling we are all going to get lost in the sewers and be forced to live there until we finally die from food poisoning when we run out of rations and are forced to start eating mutant rats.

Well, there are regular sewer entrances all over the city. Worst case scenario, you just find the nearest one and go up it, out onto the streets and find your way home from there.

Thats why its called an adventure!!

Yes I am being deliberately obtuse, I understood what you wrote just fine Voca.

Ho ho, I'm asking for it. Don't hurt me Nadiar, I never claimed Thurst had any taste, or manners for that matter!

Dwarves....

 

[Voca]

Well, you have to admit Aeshen does dress like a bard.
