INTRODUCTION

WHEN LAST WE LEFT BRAVE TEAM “ROTO-ROOTERS”,

THEY’D JUST WRAPPED UP A SPLASH FILLED SKIRMISH 

BENEATH THE STREETS OF CIMBAR

VANQUISHING A PACK OF PESKY SEWER SCOUTS, 

KILLING TWO OF THEM AND CAPTURING ONE!!!!!

…

WE NOW REJOIN OUR TEMERARIOUS TEAM,

SOPPING WET AND “FLUSHED” WITH THE THRILL 

OF SEPTIC VICTORY, 

AS THEY STAND POISED TO UNRAVEL THE 

MALODOROUS MYSTERY

OF THE PURLOINED PORTFOLIO (OF PERNICIOUSITY).  

SCENE 01 - SEWERS

SUMMARY (more details may be added later)

• The group moved north a bit in the sewers to a slight rise that wasn't quite so mucky and then took a short rest in the sewers, taking some goodberries to regain some HP, including their captive.
• The group then questioned their CAPTIVE SCOUT (female half-elf) and after some "negotiations" agreed to allow her to escape to "the proper authorities" in exchange for information about the theft of the folio from the library. 
• Offered Information:
• The name of the person who hired her - FAT NEETSUJ
• The name of her team - The Sewer Rats ... now rat
• Confirmation that the lifter (thief) escaped to the north in the sewers
• Offered to show the way the thief took as they left
• The CAPTIVE SCOUT then lead the team north to a point where the trail became ambiguous ... 
• There was a sewer grate above, but it was locked in place (OUCH! says Ekun as he dislocates his shoulder trying to open it)
• There's another shred of black fabric to the north, suggesting the thief might have headed that direction. 
• OLOTUI decided that a blood hound might be able to track the thief's trail and transforms himself into same ... and barking like mad, bolts off to the north in pursue. The rest of the group followed.
• The sewer tunnel ended in a T-shaped dead end with passages leading WEST and EAST and SOUTH, the intersection being rather more soaked with water than the areas a bit further from the intersection. 
• INVESTIGATION allowed EMERY to find a secret door to the north
• YESDI found the activator for it - a bit of pink granite about the size of a pie
• One of the players gives the stone a good push and a 5'x5' secret door opens out into the intersection. 
• Beyond the secret door extended another branch of the old sewer. 
• Your CAPTIVE SCOUT informs you that this tunnel is used to smuggle goods from the harbor warehouses into the city, past the customs stations at the various city gates. 

Path of the team's movement through Episode 05

The team then moved into the tunnel and made their way down it's length, noticing several cover nitches carved into the walls, positioned to provide defensive positions against movement toward the sea and warehouses.

We'll pick up here next time.
