Chapter 1: The Body

The stench is near-overwhelming. Filthy water, about two feet deep in most places, stands in the center of the sewer; if it flows at all, its movement is imperceptible. Narrow walkways, two feet wide each, on either side of the sludge, thankfully allow you to avoid the filth. Even here, however, grime and more disgusting matter make the path a foul place to walk. Marna directed you to proceed to the first intersection, then turn north, and it's a straight shot to the lair.

The group moves to the first intersection and turns north, as directed. As you navigate the turn, a flutter of activity over your head draws your attention upward. At first, you think the flitting creatures are bats; upon closer inspection, though, you realize that the three creatures closer resemble a cross between a bird and a mosquito. The first two choose Breg and Aldezar as their targets, each landing on one of the warriors. As they light, their barbed legs latch on, and they insert their needle-sharp proboscis into soft, yielding flesh. Aldezar and Breg each suffer 1 point of Constitution damage!

OOC:

Lunori, Aldezar, and Breg are up!

Lunori's blade flashes, and the "bird" is removed from Aldezar's arm, falling into the river of sewage that passes through the tunnel. The passages are very slippery, but Lunori keeps his footing. Aldezar, denied a target, swings at the remaining "bird" but misses. Breg lashes at the one on his arm and slices it in half, both pieces falling into the sewage. The remaining creature hungrily dives for Lunori, but the bard is faster and sidesteps the attack.
