Clair look about the group expectantly. Listening for any who state they are in need of aid for any injury.

Smasher stood staring at the pile of rubbish waiting for another attacker to present itself.

Right the lets be moving along. Broderick prompted ushering Clair towards the grate. Noting Smasher was staring at the rubble Come along Smasher.

In reply to Broderick Leibert (msg # 127):

Dolpho applies oil to the gate before opening it.

Ludlow keeps his fireball at the ready.

Alighting on Smashers backpack Phylicity settled comfortably on it, positioned so she could peek over his shoulder in the direction he was going and turning her head to the opposite direction observe anything coming up behind them.

In reply to Phylicity Pfaffingerh (msg # 129):

Approaching the gate, there is an odor of dank water,
underlaid with sewage, and something reptilian.

Once more Clair's hand clasped her mouth and nose, as it attempted to ward of the stench. Someone should do something about this place she mumbled through her hand, her eyes darting about bulged at the thought of encountering anything else disgusting.

Clair my dear, that's why we are here, to clean this place out and make it functional once more. Broderick informed patting his wife's free hand. Turning he lead the others through the gate pausing near the entry to scan the passage ahead.

In reply to Broderick Leibert (msg # 132):

The passage outside is one of the wider conduits, some four
yards wide and three yards high, in a steeply arched vault.
 Fairly smooth slabs of stone or poured concrete make up the
flooring, with a trench about a foot wide and deep on either
side, against the walls. The walls were once plastered over
and set with a frieze of colored tile at shoulder height, but
 much of the tile and plaster alike are gone, baring the
stone walls in their roughness.  The conduit heads to the
left and also to the right, where presumably, the rats came ftom.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 133):

Moving further into the room Broderic considered the choices in direction. Doing so allowed the  the group to enter as well. The torchs they carried helped him see more of the passages. It looks like whatever drove the rats toward us could down the right passage. I suggest we investigate and deal with what may be there as it could cut of our exit. Any of you have a preferance?

In reply to Broderick Leibert (msg # 134):

Molag checks the grip on his good sword,
Ludlow  has a fireball at ready,
Razakeel has his sword drawn
Charlene has her spear readied
Dolpho has his shortsword at the ready.
Clair draws a dagger.
Phylicity prepares a spell (which?)
Carruthers raises his walking stick
Broderick holds  his Rapier in guarde position
Clarence raises his lantern
Smasher is ever at the ready with his maul.

Right then, lets see what stirred up those rats. Smasher you're on my right. Broderick prompts leading the group warily towards the right passage

[Private to GM: Could you add
Clair grasps her dagger
Carruthers readies his Walking stick
Phylicity readies a spell
Smasher has his maul ready

To your post previous. Thank you.]

In reply to Broderick Leibert (msg # 136):

The smell of feotid water becomes stronger as you continue down the passage. Ahead, Clarence's light reflects on the framewirk of a metal gate.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 137):

Another gate, Broderick thinks if anything else this place has quite a bit of security. This in itself begs the question why. Pausing he asks those who'd previously visited the underground about threats they have encountered in their forays.

In reply to Broderick Leibert (msg # 138):

"I have seen the gates separate private areas from municipal ones. That last place was likely the under alley between buildings"

In reply to Molag Anders (msg # 139):

This place is getting worse and worse, I wouldn't be surprised if the torch didn't start a flash fire Clair stated her hand firmly clasped over her mouth and nose muffling the declaration.

If this stench gets any worse I'd hesitate to suggest that's what drove the rats from this area. Broderick remarks moving cautiously along the passage.

In reply to Broderick Leibert (msg # 141):

Razakeel approaches the gate, and peers through.
"There is water there, running slowly, something large in it...this is I think a main sewer line. Zeelzeel says the nearest one to us marks the division   between Aralaise Northport  and  little  Shevnia."

In reply to Razakeel Shadowcloak (msg # 142):

Broderick moves beside Razakeel and peers through the bars Do you think that's one of those sewer Crocodiles they talk about. he asked never having seen one himself.

In reply to Broderick Leibert (msg # 143):

"Szuzana,the swordswoman I travelled with, had her arm bitten off by one of those things!"

In reply to Molag Anders (msg # 144):

Was the beast killed to prevent it from gaining a taste for human flesh.

In reply to Broderick Leibert (msg # 145):

Molag shrugs.
"She never said."

In reply to Molag Anders (msg # 146):

Something large slams into the bronze gate and hisses!

Broderick was just about to ask if any others had hunted and killed such a beast. Hoping to glean some information as to if the thing they have spotted is a Sewer Crocodile or another type of creature, and how difficult it will be to kill or drive off. When the creature slammed into the gate. Instinctively recoiling from the creatures sudden appearance and attack, Broderick grimaced and lowered his rapier.  Lets Get it chaps he prompts Quickly slashing at it, through the bars, hopefully the gate will hold it and the team can damage it enough to retreat so they can finish it off.

[Private to GM: Broderick Leibert rolled 11 att @13 & 6 dam.]

Some of Broderick's thrust gets past its scales and draws
ichor. The creature rears back and breathed our a cloud of
foul gas!
