"Hello, Archiver Lackshmist. We'd like to take a look at your reports dating at least months back. Two things we're looking for: were there any reports of tieflings gone awol? Not necessarily related to sewers, just missing person reports. Second, were there any dead bodies found in the sewers? We've located a pile of skulls, presumably intentionally murdered and collected there." says Terilith. "Oh, I was about to forget. Do we have blueprints for the sewers in the archive?"

People goes missing all the time, unfortunately. Mostly they step off to another world and some step on. Tieflings, halfbreads and others without roots are particularly prone to move on. But I can see what we have on reported missing Tieflings.
Dead bodies in the sewers, I recall something. Give me some time
Plans of the sewers are not something we have here. Talk to the officials in the council halls for those.
He does not have any special information about the sewers (the roll)

"Alright, sir. Thanks for your information. We'll come back tomorrow to check on you." says Terilith and him and Kaez leave the office, nodding to the Captain as they do. When they're out in the street again, Kaez says "Next possible course of action is to the council halls, I believe."
Terilith agrees. "Yeah, otherwise we'd just have to wait and I can't just stop and wait while those things are there, sitting like a testiment to the evilness of this city." They walk towards the halls as they chat on the way.

Would there be a magical communication device used by Shields to inform each other? Like police dispatch? Terilith and Kaez have both been out of duty for some time now and their patrolling area should not be left alone. Otherwise they will just tell the first Shield duo they see on their way.Apr 29, 2022 9:42 am

Well they could have some sort of sending stones setup. But that is a kind of in-emergency-only thing only as it is a one pr day item. But generally, I'm against it as it quickly escalates to magic items everywhere. But there could be a creature that can establish mental communication to all the shields if need be. Its very convenient, but nobody really likes it. (The truth is that there is a mindflayer brain or something like it, that can touch the minds of all the shields. If it does it voluntarily is altogether a different story)Apr 29, 2022 11:20 am
OOC:
Okay, even if we go with that creature mentally linking Shields things it would not be o daily usage. Than Terilith and Kaez will inform the Shields on their way to widen their patrol area so as to cover theirs as well, and then head to the Council Hall.Apr 30, 2022 8:43 am
You make your way to the council halls, where you are introduced to the finer ways of bureaucracy. But after a few hours you learned the following:
1) There are 4 active portalt to the elemental plane of water. From there flows the cities watersupply. There is no rain in the Radiant Citadel
2) 1 of these portalts provides water current to move the sewer water
3) There are 3 posible chambers between the skull chamber and the portal room (going upstream) , where the bones could have come from

OOC:
Is there a way to access those chambers from inside the sewers or should they have to take another route, maybe following the chamber connecting to the portal?May 2, 2022 6:15 am
OOC:
The citadel is not big enough for a fully connected walkable sewer. You have to walk on the surface, but the chambers should be acceable through manholes and/or other walkable sewer systems.In otherwords, the sewer is not a maga dungeon, but many smaller ones :)

When they leave the council hall with all the information, Terilith and Kaez stop for a few minutes to discuss their next course of action. After some fierce debate they decide that their best shot is to get as close as they can to their destination above the ground, then find a manhole to get inside. As they walk around the city, Terilith tries to construct a mental map of the area so as to properly find their way.

I need you to fill out your charactersheet. At this moment there are 2 that is half filled out. Pick one and finish it, please. I assume that you are wearing chain mail, which means that you have a disadvantage on your stealth rolls, but I can't tell from your character sheetThe circular chamber is 10 meters in diameter, and it contains a dozen sheads. All this is built upon grates in the floor, where you can see water flowing in from one pipe and out another. This is an overflow tank, if there is a build-up in water pressure, this room is designed to flood, but it doesn't look like it has ever done so.
The village down below the streets has been evaluated in some haist, but there is still a fire going with a pot of some stew simmering over it.
What do you do?

I'm sorry. It has slipped my mind. I've updated it now (the custom sheet you've created for me). It should be complete but if there's anything you'd want me to add (or something I've overlooked) please tell me. And yes, Terilith had chain mail so he has disadvantage on stealth.In the meantime Kaez listenst to the sewers. There were a lot of people when they got here, all of them cannot act that stealthy under these circumstances. She thinks se should have hear some things, murmurs or whispers.

Kaez finds that the feeling people are not quiet, but they are quick. She follows a few girls who squeeze them selfs through a bared opening, and perhaps Kaez could slither through but it would not be easy. She returns to Terilith who is investigating the cooking site. They were eating rats
May 7, 2022 10:52 am
After a quick sharing of information, two Shields discuss what to do next, whispering. "Rats?" says Kaez with utter disgust in her face. "I remember them clearly shouting 'Shields!' as they noticed us. I assume they are intellectual people, not some savages living under here. Then, this begs the question. Why the hell were they eating rats?"
"I don't know." says Terilith. "But we're not here for some secret, fiddly business. We need to make sure that we are not hostile. Come." As he was about to finish his words he starts walking in the direction Kaez went earlier. When he reaches the barred opening, he raises his voice. "Hello! I know you can hear me. I'm Terilith and this here is my friend Kaez. We're not here to investigate you by any means. Though we're curious of your presence, we came here to investigate a pile of skulls clogging the way, just ahead of this stream. We only want information on this, nothing else. If you will be of help to us, we won't even mention this to anyone."
Kaez adds. "Yes, in fact we would like to help if we can. We are not only the brute force in this city, making sure everybody is comfortable and well-off."

That is the voice of the haves but no one speaks for the haves-not! We don't want you here. The voice sounds distorted as if it is coming through a narrow pipe, and it most likely is.
We are not dropping skulls into the pool. Now go away! Terilith looks down into the pool under this camp. It is very possible that they have no clue what passe under their floorboards

I didn't get the last sentence. Did Terilith realized the ooze? Is that what you mean by pool under their camp?May 11, 2022 7:44 am
OOC:
Here is a sketch of what is going on. They have made a camp over a flood pool. If the water pressure gets too high, then the pool will flood by design. They have no idea of what skulls and bones have passed under them with the water current. Does it make sense now?
