"Not all undead, deserve the same treatment. It is ignoble to sell off and use the body parts of just anyone. This poor soul for instance, is a plague zombie. He's probably roamed the undercity and sewers for decades, and now the remains should be given a decent burial, or burning on a pyre, with ceremony... Now, if we knew this were a miscreant, then we are not obliged to do anything for him, and may profit from his disposal, or as I do...collect the skulls of evil men, to put to "good" use... hmm hmm..."
Grimaldi produced the skull he'd collected earlier, and held it Yorick style, for emphasis.

"Every one needs a hobby, I guess. Where to next? I hope not up this narrow damp tunnel."

"I can think of a few narrow and damp passages I'd rather be, but we have a job to do. Let's check it out, at least. Then, we'll head back the other way. We're not exploring as much, as we are getting this place covered, so we can get paid!"

The half elf laughed.
"I didn't think you were such a cad, Grimaldi!
We do have a lady, with us..."

Grimaldi cleared his throat.
"Quite. Beg pardon, mademoiselle."
Grimaldi, bowed slightly, still holding a skull, and his sword.
But then, that was Grimaldi, and they were down in a creepy catacomb.

"That's alright. I have  worked with worms berore. Where are we hauling this junk to next?"

"Lets check down this narrow passage here, and put an arrow sign down a ways, then we'll head back, and go the opposite direction."

"Onward, then!"
Sederic takes the lead again, heading the suggested way, leaving Grimaldi to guard their rear, like before.

In reply to Sederic (msg # 87):

The passage is awkward to move through, being barely wider than a yard, and  with occasional cross bracing that you have to crawl over. After a few hundered yards, there is a gate to the right hand side, and a wider corridor to the left<about three yards) and the narrow corridor continues ahead. The gate, like the last one leads into a tunnel filled to nearly floor level with foul slow moving water, spillover from the canal above.

"Okay, let's put one here by the gate, and then we'll head back the other way. Anymore this way, and we'll be going into a dungeon crawl, methinks.."

"Aye, I agree with ye. We should put a sign outside the gate here, and perhaps one in the tunnel, pointing back the way we came, then turn back, and go the other way."

In reply to Sederic (msg # 90):

The laborers get to work nailing up another sign.

Sederic keeps a watch over the gate, and tunnel while the crew works.

Grimaldi keeps watch over the way they had come.

In reply to Grimaldi (msg # 93):

This time, nothing approaches because of all the noise. There is some splashing in the tunnel beyond the gate, but that may have been rats.

"Are we ready to head back, the other way?"

"Thought I 'eard somethin, in the tunnel.. could've been rats scurrying away, from the racket we're making. We'll know, if anything follows us back the other way..."
Sederic said quietly.

In reply to Sederic (msg # 96):

Ate you heading left, or retracing your steps?

"Let's go back, and if anything comes, we'll be ready."
Grimaldi points with his sword, back the other way.

"Aye"

In reply to Sederic (msg # 99):

You make your way back to the tavern entrance after going single file down the narrow damp corridor and stepping over the twice dead corpse.

After the group passes by the corpse, Grimaldi gestures to his eyes, and then about, murmuring a magical spell..."Sensum Spirituum.."

In reply to Grimaldi (msg # 101):

Grimaldi is not able to sense anything for quite a distance. Whatever animated the corpse is long gone.

Sederic takes the lead, and is in the vanguard position.

In reply to Sederic (msg # 103):

You are back by the entrance to the Abattoir, there is a corridor west, which ypu can see intersecting with a north/south one.
