Who's on the outside ready to pull the second body out? Who signals the right time to pull? And who or how do you make sure the Drake swarms spot the second corpse.Over to you guys.And great work by the way...[sblock= Scales of War To Do List]IMMEDIATE CONCERN- SEE 5.The Big Picture1. Rescue the Prisoners-Jalissa-Sertanian- he can identify the treasures (see 2.)Thurann-Kartenix-Mirtala- in Sewer Rats chamber/crypt, infected with Filth Fever, need to find Big Tony for prisoner exchange (see 4.).Adronsius-Zerriksa-2. Rescue the Treasures taken from the Hall of Great Valour.Number and type not known.Sertanian (see 1.) knows what is missing- find him.3. The Red Hand & Sinruth?What is it all about?Why are the Goblinoids wearing the insignia?Who is Sinruth?At The Moment4. Rescue Mirtala by finding Big Tony, the Gnome.Big Tony is somewhere either North or East of the Entrance Chamber- find him and return to the Sewer Rats for Prisoner exchange.5. Lure the Drakes out from East chamber with strange symbols, in six parts.Construct the lure- DONE. NEXT...Place the lure- how do you do this- where do you want it to 'land'- someone roll an appropriate skill check and/or aid with Powers- Forceful Push etc- DONE. NEXT...Lure the Drakes- who does this, how do they do this- roll an appropriate skill check, others may aid perhaps- DONE. NEXT...Lure the Drakes up the stairs- similar to 3) above-  DONE. NEXT...Lure the Drakes through the entrance chamber- what are you going to do with the other dead bodies in here, where is everyone going to be positioned. Then how do you do this, who does it, and a Skill Check to follow.Lure the Drakes outside (and avoid being in their path)- pretty much as 3) to 5).6. Areas yet to investigate.Chamber with strange symbols beyond the Drakes.Chamber with the Sewer Rats in.Entrance Chamber- North doors, no sign, partially dented and broken.Doors west from Goblin rest room.Doors west from corridor to the north of Goblin rest room.Spiral staircase up from Deadeye's domain.In The FutureMore info from Derek & the Sewer RatsLord Frazzle[/sblock]</blockquote>
