[Knight] The day is shining and new

Apr 19, 2022 5:54 pm

When the Ooze landed on Terlilith it was the first time it made contact with a living tiefling. As the fires of hell take hold, much of the ooze is burned at once, but just a tiny sliver retreats back into the water and tries to escape. The two shield beares can see how the movement in the water seases at is it just lies there - dissolving in the water.

Terilith is trying to catch his breath after that tedious, tiresome fight. Still gasping for breath, he asks Kaez "Are you alright? What the hell was that thing?"

"Yeah, just need to rest a bit. Well, it was an ooze but I don't think that's what you were asking. I don't know how it got here or was it the cause of all those other supposed dead bodies." Kaez answers.

In the meantime Terilith checks the area to see if the boy is still around. He was too occupied with the ooze that he's forgotten him. Was he a part of this? he thinks to himself.

Adding a Perception check just in case.

Here is a quick scetch of the area. The boy is in the centre room, and you are walking around (purple path) to get to a better opening
The boy is still waiting

Terilith goes back to the bared entrance and sees the boy still standing there
Are you coming or not? My mom will worry if I'm not home.

"We're here, we're here. Hey, kiddo. Did you happen to see any creatures while you were lurking around here? These sewers are dangerous, you know. Try not to wander alone. Now let's see this skulls you've mentioned." Terilith is not going to tell the boy about the near-death experience they had if he didn't hear it already. Plus, he was now very suspicious of the boy. He wonders if he's sincere.

The kid shrugs points again to the tunnel you can't see from the barred opening. It is right there. Go around and see for yourself I don't care. Can I go home now?

OOC:

The kid is bored and does not show signs of any deseat that Terilith can see

"I'm sorry, boy." says Kaez. "You cannot go home because these sewers are dangerous. We are protectors of this city, which means we are protectors of you. Just wait here until we get this thing done. Do not wander off."

Terilith was once again impressed by their chemistry. He was about to suggest a similar thing when Kaez has taken control. Again tapping into his divine sense for possible evil, he, alongside with Kaez, carefully approaches the skulls and look around.

Terilith expected a pile of skulls, and there were many, what he hadn't expected was it was all tiefling skulls. Once again he stands before a tiefling massacre - just like that one night, so long ago.

Some of the skulls bear occult markings of some sort of conjuration or necromantic spellcraft, but Terilith is not sure.

All the skulls are caught in a flow grate, there is a sewer line running through here, and there is a grate. This small room seems to be designed to catch larger detritus flowing throughout the sewer. Smaller bones could have gone through, the skulls are too big.

Terilith takes a step back, trying to regain his mental balance. No, no! You were over this! Kaez realizes the intensity of the situation, taking a look at the skulls herself. "Why? Why just tieflings?"

In the mean time Terilith was trying the dismiss the unpleasant thought occurring in his head. You are a strong, independent man now. Nobody can scare youu like that anymore. Nobody. As he slowly regains his confidence, he takes a very deep breath and confronts the skulls again. This time, although very hard, is a bit easier to handle. "I don't know Kaez but something wicked is going on here."

OOC:

Just to understand the environment. Is Terilith able to move the skulls, take a look around nad between them or are they behind the grate so that they would have to break or remove the grate first? If the former Terilith will try to move the skulls, trying to see if anything other than skulls catches his eyes or any other familiar symbol.

Apr 23, 2022 2:17 pm

Terilith moves all the skulls out of the sewer channel. As he do he finds other bones, pelvises, and a ribcage that break apart when he jossel it. As he works he notices two things. Firstly the bottom skulls seem to be the oldest. From this, he deduces that this has been going on for some time. The second thing is that the water in this channel flows fast and is relatively clean.

Apr 23, 2022 2:46 pm

"Are you seeing that, too?" says Terilith pointing out to the cleaner and faster stream. Kaez nods. Terilith then carefully follows the water as much as his armor allows him, check if he can understand why the water is flowing fast.

Kaez

Apr 23, 2022 9:31 pm

Terilith sees that the cleaner water comes out of a pipe, roughly half a meter wide, that emerges into this room.

I hope that you are not planning to crawl into that narrow pipe, against the stream. You will drown! There has to be some other way of figuring out where that pipe is coming from and where those bodies were dumped. Kaez is taking notes of Terilith, but she seems battered and bruised.
There must be some sewer guys who knows

Kaez

"Well, I wish we had a smaller sized adult with us. You're right though. We can check in with the city administration or sewer workers." Terilith then looks around to see any indications as to where they are. Maybe some number, some code to describe a certain place. "You see some writing on the walls? Like the name of the sewer? I don't want to come back here with more people, especially when oozes are wreaking havoc here."

Apr 24, 2022 6:19 pm

After some looking around some 10-15 minutes, Terilith finds distinctive numbers over the openings in the room. Every opening has an alphanumeric code. With these numbers they should be able to find this room again on a propper map

"Alright, Kaez. Let's grab the kid and head straight to a place we can find the plans for the sewers. Maybe there were other disturbances reported in sewers as well." says Terilith as he stands up with the confidence of a man who has a plan and starts to walk back, picking the kid on the way.

Once you are back on the streets, the kid takes off. You don't need me anymore, but my mom does.

OOC:

Where would you look for sewer plans and/or disturbance reports?

Street urchin

Apr 25, 2022 8:02 am

"Take care of yourself!" Terilith shouts behind the boy. He has little to no hope for this kid becoming a healthy and productive member of the society but it would kill him if he injures himself on those sewers. "Where should we head first?" asks Terilith.

Kaez

"So we need two things: the plans for the sewers and any disturbance reports, right? We can head to our main office for the second one. Then we can get a clearance or that sort of thing to access sewer plans. We can head to the city hall after that. Sounds good?"

"Alright, ma'am. Lead the way." answers Terilith and they start to move towards the head office.

Captain Cenemoy

Apr 25, 2022 7:47 pm

You return to the main office only to be greeted by captain Cenemoy. Some do call him Captain Ceremony as he is a stickler for procedure.
Why are you here? Shouldn't you be at the marked? Patroling!
The office is as always a constant bustle of people coming in, some going out, citizens coming to complain. It is always noisy with the frequent undertones of often used but seldom cleaned locker room.

Something in the sewers? Good heavens, as if we didn't have plenty on our hands already. What?! A disturbance report? The captain grabs the top paper from his pile. Here is a disturbance report, some idiot imported 15 pigs! With wings! We have the Grayhawk loading dock covered in pig shit - from flying pigs. He picks another one. And this one is from the Sucking Succubus. Apparently, someone have drilled holes into the private rooms and had spied on the guests.... hmm... this has been reported by the elven enclave It is hard to tell if it is the political ramifications or the possibility of ogling some scandal clads girls that cause the captain to pause in his tirade.

If you want statistics and older disturbance reports put in a request in the archive, and get back to the streets! Dismissed!
