[QUOTE="Jolly Giant, post: 2275656, member: 5278"] You know, the number of locales you can realistically expect to find in a sewer is rather limited... ;) If there are things living down there; dire rats, moon rats, othyugs (sp?), goblins, kobolds or maybe a band of lizardfolk, then they might have had to make their own locales. There are plenty of critters in the MM who might find it convenient to leech of a city's resources without being seen. They might well have gone to the trouble of digging out their own dungeons down there; they don't neccessarily have to live in a room that was originally built for some other purpose. If you go deep enough down, beneath the sewers (but dry!), there could perhaps even be a dragon's lair. Maybe a good dragon who secretly guards and looks after the city? Maybe a golden great wyrm, sleeping (King Arthur-like) until the day it needs to save the city from some grave treath? Maybe a young black dragon, secretly stealing from the city's wealthiest inhabitants? Maybe an ancient red wyrm who's slept for centuries, but are awoken by nosy & noicey PCs; it then unleashes a wave of terror over the city, eating people and looting the city's gold, and the PCs are blamed for waking it?
