Riza grins and moves towards to the tunnel Minmorc wants to go down. come on then lets go hunting With a smile she skitters off to hopefully kill something

The group moves on past the dead goblins and joins Bulldust at the next pit, which sounds like it is located beneath the marketplace, judging by the sounds drifting down from above. There is no sign of guards at the grill up above but no reason to believe that there are none up there either.

Faced with a choice of three more sewer tunnels leading off from this pit the group decides to split up to explore them more quickly.

Minmorc, Riza and Oopses (carrying the hooded lantern and Arlein the cat) head off down the southeast sewer tunnel.

Bulldust, Moffdust and Dregz head off down the western sewer tunnel.

Jurz and Raven are left at the 20ft diameter pit. 

OOC: Main game map updated. The western pit is about 480ft from the central pit where Jurz and Raven are. The eastern pit is about 410ft from the central pit. Note that each pit has steel rungs forming a ladder up one side to reach the grill high above.

Jurz keeps his counsel and lets the others decide on the split.  However, he checks that there are rungs upwards, just in case he needs to escape from this pit.

"We's bedder not stays in der middle." he mumbles to Raven as he moves to one  side of the tunnel system.

PM to Moffa and Dregz ...

Dregz opens his mouth ...

Hmmmmm...

Moffdust joins in the pantomime ...

Oopses squirms and sgwiggles as the orc picks him up by the shell. Noose nots da Rats torch waving agerily as he jerks around.

Bulldust's group in the western sewer are very quiet, Jurz and Raven in the middle pit are fairly quiet with barely a whisper between them, but Minmorc's group are quite jovial. A faint echo of Minmorc singing a childhood rhyme even reaches Jurz and Raven's ears, although Oopses' squeal that follows doesn't exactly sound like a squeal of delight.

Jurz stands in the shadows,  listening and watching for anything of interest.  He is somewhat surprised that raven doesn't take some sort of cover, perhaps even flying up the manhole thing they are standing under.  Indeed, he had thought of climbing up there himself.  But then Raven is choosing to act as bait and stand still in the middle of the chamber ....

Jurz hears Oopses squealing away somewhere in the distance.  It isn't a nice squeal, but that probably means that Minmorc has beat him at cooking, or something like that, again.  Either that or the orc is challenging himself to see how many enemies he can kill using the little goblin as a club.  He shrugs, they would come get help, or at least shout if they needed it.  Not sing nursery rhymes.

With thoughts of Minmorc and the cooking competition and dreams about winning stuff for the gods running through his mind, Jurz glances down.  Is that two eyes in the water there?  No.  Just two turds, bumping against each other as they float like two short, thick lumps of wood down stream.  Maybe Minmorc would like that as a game, he muses.  Betting on which turd stick gets away quickest.  Perhaps we could call it Poo Sticks?

OOC: Minmorc would be more likely to play battle ships, each player trying to sink the other players floaters. Bonus points for direct hits on the poop deck.

Dregz frowns ...

Moffdust reaches out...

Bulldust silently helps ...

Minmorc, Riza, Oopses and Arlein return to rejoin Jurz and Raven in the 20ft diameter pit. For some reason Minmorc is now carrying Oopses in one hand with the hooded lantern waving about rather wildly in the struggling goblin’s hand. Arlein is still riding on Oopses back and she narrowly avoids being flung off by the goblin’s struggles. Minmorc's greatspear is pointing behind him, back up the southeast sewer tunnel, but there is no sign of anything following behind them.

There is no sign of Bulldust, Moffdust and Dregz returning yet, and no sound from the western sewer tunnel.

"Found der big rats, mebbe we goes back fer dinner later but nutting down der wid blades. I'm gunna gets dis muck off my new boots, any of yous wanna go look fer Bully?"

In reply to Minmorc (msg # 62):

Oopses settles down into a grumpy mood as he resigns himself to being Minmorc's lantern. "Sures they needz help, they mights be neaking up on umthin."

"Errr, I fink Moffa can sneak up on stuff, I fink Dregz could sneak up on stuff If I took his book away and I fink Bully snuck up on imself once..."

Bulldust quietly puts down his longspear ...

Private to Bulldust ...

"I'll go and have a look" Jurz offers, bored with hanging around in the middle, then sets off, cautiously, along the sewer.

Bulldust moves silently(ish)...

Dregz frowns.

Moffdust's eyes widen at that.

Bulldust, Moffdust and Dregz meet up with Jurz about halfway back along the western sewer tunnel and they all return to the 20ft diameter junction pit together to rejoin the rest of the group, to discuss what they have found and plan what to do next.
