Adventure 1: Trouble in the Waterworks.

Nunri scratches her head and leans forward. She's uncertain what elvish custom requires paying your employer, but senses that it is one based not on bribery or generosity but respect. Maybe veneration of the wisdom that comes with age? Elves are long lived and probably get very wise.

Herradine watches the exchange curiously as well. It is a nice gesture but not one she would be willing to afford. Money is always an issue.
Still, she won't complain about other people's generosity.

Cobb is a bit surprised at the elf's generosity and then starts his story in the common tongue as best he can, every once in a while, he has to stop to think about his wording (probably with some help from the group).

@ Malingad: you can go ahead and remove those 8 BP from your sheet if it hasn't already been done...

"Thank you sir. Well, we was wokin' that day. I was part of the team which was supposed to stay on top to let the good folks know there we was workin' dow there. So my friends went in to check some o' the grates on a small section o' the sewers, they can get clogged or even break sometimes. I know this section pretty well... Anyways, thy never came back up... After long hours o' waitin', the guild decided to send a second team, an armed one. You see, the rats below the sewers can grow big and pretty ornery, you know, so it was nothin' out of the ordinary at the time, the first team might have just gotten hurt or seomthin'. So the armed men go in, then sometime later, we hear yellin' and screamin' comin' from down there. Only one man came out, looking scared and all wide-eyed, as it The Enemy itself were after him. Had a wicked wound on the side o' his face too. He ran away he did, and never came back. Just spends his day drownin' his sorrows in beer now..."

"We'll ned to find out who that man is and question 'im. Unless you wants to just head down into the sewer. Then we need to know what section to start at," he says to Liroc.

"Who was man, and where we find him? We buy him a drink or two, hear the tale from his lips."

Nunri hopes her mannish holds up to convey her meaning.

"Durwin. He's drowning himself in ale at the Matted Mare. Can't miss him, he has this large scar on the right side of his face now." Cobb replies.

"And how long ago did this happen?"

May 12, 2020 10:51 pm

"Five days ago. None o' the other workers really want to go back down in that section if there's trouble to be had down there... Me I'd very much get to the bottom o' this..."

Herradine nods at Nunri to let her know her mannish is fine.

After Cobb finishes, she says: "Then it sounds like we know where to go next."

"Can we see the map of the sewers?" Nunri knows that the first thing any respecting dwarf would do would be to build a scene model or diorama of the structure, but even a paper or woven map would really help visualize the area.

Nice call on the map!👍

As you ask for a plan, Cobb stares at the handful of silver pieces given to him by Malingad. His head then pops up, a toothy smile on his face.

"Yes, a map, I'll be right back!"

Cobb then goest talk to the clerk and disappears behind the desk for what seems to be several long minutes. He comes back handing you a freshly ink-stained parchment on which he seems to have drew a map of this section of the sewer he knows so well, still smiling, happy he could have been of service...

[ +- ] Cobb's plan

Cassi stands aside with her hunting dog Coring. She been rather quiet taking in the job. She was much happy with the last job no doubt being a trader herself. She just puts her two cents in, Lets hope this is a fast job.

Malingad looks at the map and smiles. He pats Cobb on the back. "Man-maenas mellohn," he says. And hands the map over to Liroc.

Watches the map transfer with little interest. Appears she is more anxious for action. Then again she isn't to stay in one place often. So we shouldn't have too much trouble down there.

May 14, 2020 2:54 am

"Let's hope not. We've gotta find Durwin. Once we get his story we'll be more prepared for a scrap. Let's off to the Matted Mare," says Malingad.

Nunri examines the map quickly and nods gratefully at Cobb.

Liroc thanks Cobbs and make sure they take note of the closest entrance and part of the map where it happened. He goes back to the clerk "Yea, we'll take the contract then follow the group out toward the Matted Mare.
