Malchik Posted September 22, 2005 Author Share Posted September 22, 2005 The man has overheard you. "There are only two entrances to the lower levels. If you take the central tunnel that leads off the north or south corridors here you will find a secret door at the back. It is the top part of an airlock as there is water in the lower tunnels. Stairs decend to the next airlock. The doors lead to either side of a subterranean waterway. Turning east will lead to a bifurcation in the waterway and the entrance to the third level. This level has not been explored by any living although there are references in old records. If you travel west the waterway splits into three. If you continue straight ahead (you'll need to jump across the fork) you'll find a tunnel to the right. That is where the slayers are. The chances are that they will find you first. Remember they will not hurt you if you don't hurt them." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThetaOrionis01 Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 "Thank you for your help," Lurel replies to him, and turns to the others. "Well, let's go - we know the way now. Midge, can you keep that danger sense of yours on high alert? Lisette, we're going to need light - can you see to that? And if anyone really doesn't want to go, please say so now - so we can arrange to meet again after out visit to the lower level." He gives the others an encouraging grin and sets off in the direction indicated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switch Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 Ford sighs. "Well, I'm sure it was more suicidal entering that Xiwotsit place!" He follows Lurel towards the lower level entrance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malchik Posted September 26, 2005 Author Share Posted September 26, 2005 You have no problem negotiating the directions at first. The second level of sewers has water at ankle height. It is easy to avoid. Other than that they look just like the sewers you have left except here all the light is from your torches. You travel west to the point where the tunnel divides. As you reach it all the torches go out. Any attempt to use magic fails. There is absolute silence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switch Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 Ford freezes. He whispers. "Uh... guys?" He waits for someone to cast a spell, or something. But there is merely quiet. A cold shiver starts up his spine as he imagines sneaky back-stabbings and slitted throats as he looks around desperately trying to see something.

ThetaOrionis01 Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 Lurel takes a deep breath. "Midge," he whispers, "what does your danger sense tell you?" He calls into the darkness. "We have come to speak to the Black Slayers. If you are they, greetings." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malchik Posted September 26, 2005 Author Share Posted September 26, 2005 Midge feels nothing. There seems to be a major force blanking out all skills and magic. A man's voice speaks from about two paces in front of Lurel. "We know who you are, you make no attempt to hide it. This is either bravery or naivety on yor part. You want to talk of arrows. We do not. You have no affiliation with guilds. You do not even know who we are or what we do. But tell me, what do YOU think we do?" There is nothing to see, only a sense that the man is not alone. Ford is correct in guessing they are both behind and in front of the party. Lurel cannot empathise. These people or at least one of them is a mage of tremendous power. A magical power that is not supposed to exist in Levdia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThetaOrionis01 Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 "I do not know," Lurel admits. "I have thought of you as an assassins' guild, working to a code of honour of your own, and perhaps for a purpose of your own. But you have power... greater than any we have encountered on Levdia. Yet you do not kill indiscriminately." He pauses. "You do not wish to speak of arrows. Is there anything, then, that you would speak to us about?"

Malchik Posted September 28, 2005 Author Share Posted September 28, 2005 OOC> sorry rushing to complete Iredior books "I did not say we would not talk about arrows but that we do not want to. The arrows are very particular to us as I am sure you have learned. However if you have a good reason for talking of them you must make it clear. As for your view of us, there is an element of truth in that we do occasionally have to carry out an assassination. But they are rare and always highly publicised to keep them that way. Our main job is to resolve disputes between guilds and to keep all the guilds in line with the Guild Charter. Very much more boring than being assassins I assure you. But assassination is the only part of our role that ever gets noticed." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malchik Posted October 7, 2005 Author Share Posted October 7, 2005 As everyone stands in the pitch darkness wondering what to do, Lurel hears Thail in his head. "Lurel, there are several groups of armed men gathering in the forest. I do not know why they are here or what they want but they alarm me. I think you need to come back here as soon as you can."
