DAY 5 cont

Well, Raya and Nestoone turned up anyway and we decided to take a look at this trap door. Raya decided to give it a good scrub when she discovered there was contact poison on it.

That done we went down into the sewers via the rubbish chute.

It was pretty nasty down there, but Dock rats that we are, Raya and myself were unaffected. Fenrir wasn't so lucky though and was pretty green around the gills.

I lead the way down the sewer tunnel and seeing a door headed towards it. A flapping noise turned out to be a large flock of very angry pigeons. I got nibbled a bit, but Fenrir was nearly killed, near pecked to death by these viscous little feathered pests.

Luckily I managed to kill enough of them by swinging my sword around and Nestoone, who had scampered back up the chute, could return to bring him back from the brink of death.

Well, after Nestoone had used up all his spells we decided to head back to the temple after all and then spend the rest of the day preparing and try again the next day.

We then went to the Jade Dancer for a few drinks and Fenrir told me about some of his dodgey deals. To pay off a contact of his he needs to get three signatures, from three members of the Phalconmere family.

I'm surprised he hasn't come up with any ideas on how to do this as he can usually lie his way into and out of any kind of trouble.

He wants me to help in with this in return for his help with my two 'pro bonos' (namely the McNasty case and the Ratcatcher case). I said fair enough and later that night while lying in bed I came up with three ideas that can get the signatures from each of the three family members - without resorting to anything illegal either - so I guess I'll tell them to him and see how it goes from there.

DAY 6

Up very early this morning to go to the Trade Ward guard post and catch some of them before they went on patrol. Fenrir tagged along to help with his silver tongue.

The first person we talked to was Shiney (Rurik Van Richter), and he told us everything he knew in the name of Justice. Its sounding more and more likely that the other squad are connected to the death of the Maknaztey family.

We then talked to Pip, an annoying little bucket of halfling shit who wanted a bribe for every word that came out of his mouth. He did have the most useful bit of information though, in that he could tell that the bodies were still 'warm', and were likely slain only minutes before the watch arrived.

We finally talked to Pizana, the civilar, who was very dismissive of the whole thing and obviously considered the whole case closed and of no more importance.

We learned that the 'Reject Squad' consisted of civilar Adon Hail, amar Fat Pat, and watchmen Wulfgar, a wooden legged dwarf and young family man called Olissar.

There was also a report apparently and some evidence, a wooden carving of a bull elk that may have fallen from the neck of someone present at the scene.

The clerk let us see all this. She was fine wench too, by the name of Giselle Nesher, and although she confessed to having a boyfriend Fenrir took a real shine to her.

Having no one else to talk to now that the patrols had gone though, we headed back.
