"What a horrible place to end up. Did they get stuck, and die down here?"
Nana grimaced.

He pays attention to where the bubbles and gurgling is coming from, ready to stab two handed if necessary.

"Died here, n' doubt.  No accident, neither."  Aldous gestures to the body's lower extremities, caught in the grate.

"But whut sorta guy?  Too hairy f'r a goblin 'r orc.  Cat man?"

"Lets see what's in his bag, and if there's any objects in the water nearby."

"'N how'd he drown in shalla wata?  Sumpin' else killt 'im."

Mayhaps stuck in the drains ... a warning to us.

In reply to Thorg (msg # 262):

Some continues to rest, but does add.

"It looks like we want to be rid of that water..."

"There may be a sword, coin, or jewelry in there.. but we can't see, and it's icky...!" The girl frowns.

"Le's git it up on th' dry 'n look it over first, then look fer dropt stuff."  Aldous continues dragging the body toward the dry part of the room.

Sven helps.

In reply to Svendegard Yurick (msg # 266):

The features are rat like, and you may need to pry up the grate to get him dry.

RATMAN  dada dada da RATMAN

16:52, Today: Svendegard Yurick rolled 3 using 3d6.  scrounging ~ 11 (something suitable to pry with). rolled a natural 3, critical
Sven looks around for something in the area, to serve his needs...

"Rat man, Cat man , do. If I ever get out of here, that's NOT where I'm going to."
Nana says with a chuckle.

Aldous looks around, too.

"Thorg!  Git y'r spear ov' here, help pry th' grate."

Aldous, prying with it will bend the point, then it ain't no good.  if you guys can't pull him free, there's a bigger problem.

In reply to Thorg (msg # 272):

"What is the bigger problem?"

"'Think outside the box,' Father Robards'd say.  Never did figger whut box he meant.

"'N how'd this guy git 'is legs caught, anyhow?  Too big t' go through, 'slike he got bigger a'ter 'is legs was in the slot."

In reply to Aldous Hack (msg # 274):

"Why not just cut his feet off? It is not like he needs them, is it?"

"It's not like he needs them...!"
Nana laughs.

Maybe sumpin' has a grip on 'em... maybe moving the water away is a better way, Aine?

In reply to Thorg (msg # 277):

"I can do that, but then I will need time to recover. Sure that is what you want?"

Seems like a good plan to me... ask those in charge tho.

"'Druther get 'nuff help ta move th' grate.  Three 'f us c'n prob'ly do it."

As good as his words, Aldous bends down to get a grip on one of the grate's bars, his glance going to Thorg and Sven.

He looks around for anyone else ... I'm loathe to put my guard down, case somethin' comes up...
