Chapter 1: The Body

Beyond the intersection where the creatures attacked, the path northward is blocked by a wall of debris, suspiciously placed. You will have to find a way around. You could conceivably clear enough debris to pass, though it would take time and might draw unwanted attention. It would also mean getting into the filthy river of sewage that runs down the middle of the passage.

Using what little he knows of the city, Breg thinks that going further west should logically lead to another junction where you might be able to circle back beyond the blockage.

You have already done your decision just because the first person we met told you they are the guilty party? That is a very strange way to discover the truth! THe first to talk is always right—well that's a first for me.

He follows the others

The quartet moves west and, as expected, finds another four-way intersection that appears to bypass the blockage. As you approach the corner, you hear splashing from around the bend. Peeking around, Aldezar sees a pair of reptilian humanoid creatures making their way through the water, seemingly oblivious to the filthy nature of the liquid. Each carries a club and has a small sack slung over a shoulder. Their backs are to you, and they seem oblivious to your presence.
