Zorlon - Levdia

Lurel listens carefully to the description of the sewers.

 

"Well, it looks as though the first level, at least, is easily accessible. We can explore one section at a time, and come back up into Witten for food and sleep. Can't say I'm too keen on running into the Yar down there, but.." He shrugs. "There's nothing for it. We have 60 tunnels to explore."

 

He takes a stone, and scratches a rough design of the sewer layout on the ground.

 

"That's a lot of tunnels to explore - Midge, can you keep track of where we've been so we don't run around in circles?"

 

He looks to Lisette and Siffli. "So, which access point would you recommend?"

[Gabbemaster]

OOC> Damn... don't have much time, so i dont write so much. I have a 10 weeks vacation now, and I don't know how often I will be able to post, but I try to do it as often as possible...

[Switch]

(OOC: Maybe Malchik could do your character in an emergency? Hope you enjoy your vacation. ^^)

 

Ford ponders.

 

"Geez, how are we ever going to explore all that?! Maybe we should write it down on a piece of paper as we go along like we did before. I think trying to remember all of those tunnels would be a challenge even for Midge!"

[Malchik]

OOC I have just noticed I have made a stupid error, must be due to altitude. There are sixty tunnel 'ends'. I know because I have a plan. It actually means there are FIFTEEN tunnels N-S and FIFTEEN E-W not thirty. My apologies.

 

You will not be attacked initially be anyone you meet in the first level of the sewers. Rather than spend ages walking round, just pick a starting point and a direction and I´ll tell you who you meet and in what order. You can jot it down if you like as you may want to go back to one or more group later. I´ll number the tunnels in clockwise order from one of the corners depending where you start. There are fifteen blind tunnels on each side.

 

The extent to which you will get info/help/services from any of the groups you find will depend a lot on which of you does most of the talking.

 

I am leaving this hotel, (in the middle of the Atacama desert) where there is unlimited free internet access, tomorrow morning. I don't know what I'll find in Buenos Aires. I'm not paying so we´ll have to see. If I'm not on again until the twentieth, so be it! I'll try to post once more before I go.

 

Cheers

If we find Yar, Midge speaks, worriers, I do, and if we find a store, Ford or Siffli. As for direction...

 

Lisette pulls out a coin, and says: "Heads, clockwise, tails, counter."

"Well," Lurel remarks thoughtfully, "we still don't know the name of Smudge's client. Unless Smudge is willing to tell us, we'll have to go around asking everyone if they bought arrows - it might take some time. We might as well use the entrance Smudge recommended, and work our way along the blind ends. I wonder if he's explored the north-west of the second level for a particular reason? But we might as well start with the north west area of the first level - with the information we have, it's as good as any."

 

He grimaces. "This could take some time. We have all of today to start getting an idea of what it's like. I suggest that we come back up to street level at regular intervals, to check our bearings, and check how late in the day it is. I'd rather not spend the night down there."

[Switch]

"I agree... for one thing, dried up old sewage isn't my idea of a good camp!"

 

Ford shudders slightly at the thought.

 

"There are plenty of ways back up by the looks of it... we may need to come up now and then for air, if nothing else..."

 

He grins slightly.

[Malchik]

Okay you start in the north west corner and travel clockwise yes. If you want to change your mind let me know. Numbering along the northern lit tunnel from 1 travelling east you immediately find a door. Knocking at it a tall man in greena nd yellow livery throws the door open.

 

"About time - oh! Look, if you want to buy furs go and deal with the Master. Balthazar Zorn. Ask anyone to find him. He´s head of the Lipschitz Yar, we just store stuff."

 

Behind him you can see several people in similar livery and piles of furs.

[Switch]

Ford clears his throat.

 

"Hello there. My friends here have already been to see Balthazar," he motions to Lisette and Siffli, "but I'm afraid we're not interested in furs. However, we were wondering if you've heard of any activity to do with arrows around here recently?"

[Malchik]

The men look at each other. The one talking to you scratches his head.

 

"We're just grunts. I did hear Balthazar muttering about needing something like that for the shipment from Olden as protection but that's between him and his guards."

 

He looks to the others for corroborration. Two others join in.

 

"We don't have much call for bows and arrows in the sewers. Can´t get a proper flight path. You can try the Demveni Yar, they specialise in weapons. They've a guild faction somewhere around here on this level."

 

"Could be the black slayers."

 

"Are they here?"

 

"I dunno. They're in Flen and Olden."

 

"I have't seen them."

 

"Well, nobody ever sees them, do they!"

 

"They use arrows!"

 

The man who first spoke says. "I don't think they are here but you can check next door. Others are a bit more obsevant than we are. Is there anything else you want to know?"
