Adventure 1: Trouble in the Waterworks.

You make your way toward the larger room, where you left the 4 other corpses of the ratmen, the sight of which unnerve the females a bit... Once again, if you hadn't noticed while fighting, there are a variety of projectiles and thrown (poor quality) weapons lined on the walls, some traps seem to have been started, but not finished. It's almost as if the ratmen were preparing this room as some sort of kill room... As you make your way further into that room, you eventually notice two more bodies, wearing the uniform of the sewerworker's guild, stacked in a pile in the middle of the room, near some more traps under construction... almost as if the bodies were to be used as bait for something... What were the ratmen afraid of that they felt they needed a kill room to deal with it?

Sewer map update.

The female ratkins seem confused at first, but when it becomes clear the party is interested in the kill room, they're starting to figure out that you might be asking what it is for. They start chittering again, nodding their head toward the south-west, since being tied up, they cannot point with their hands.

Nunri and Toraclis examine the traps and notice they're very primitive affairs. Spiked branches and dropped weights, these sorts of things, all traps which require someone to manually trigger them. Seems like the main obstacle facing the ratmen was lack of resources. They were probably a mismanagement of limited resources. They were probably limited by whatever refuse they could find in the sewer, but by trying to cover as much of the large room with traps as possible, they were always suffering from shortages of resources. You assume that by cannibalizing all the unfinished traps, you could probably finish two of them. Maybe three if you supply the missing resources yourselves.As for Herradine, you're waving your hands in the air which confuses the females ratkin as they're not sure what you're trying to convey here... They understand you're trying to communicate with them, it's just that the concept of drawing shapes in the air seems to be beyond them...

Nunri attempts to cobble something up, but with the low-quality crap the ratfolks have been working with, the trap simply fails to work properly (a rope snaps, or a piece breaks or bends, etc.). If you want to try again, you can, but now with the broken parts, you can only make a single trap. Two if the party provides part of their own equipment to build it...
