Diversity Hires, part 2: The Inevitable Sewers


With the mutant problem dealt with, the team turned to more mercenary matters. Gildiril acquired a certain amount of clothing, narrowly avoiding a lice infestation in the process. Frida was excited to find a set of manacles.

They returned to town without significant incident, and headed for a pub where they hoped to follow up a lead. The person they were looking for wasn't there, owing to being a bit dead, but they did manage to track down the people responsible.

There was also a visit to a leather crafter, who thought he was about to be able to retire until the dwarves found out how much gloves actually cost and cancelled the order.

They needed to pay a visit to a bakery. Frida said you could always trust a halfling to find a bakery, and sure enough was able to lead them straight to it, despite it having been abandoned long ago.

Down a hole at the back of the bakery they found themselves in an underground tunnel system. Things encountered included a team of surprisingly friendly sewer mutants, an encounter which did not actually result in significant violence. They also ran into a deranged cultist in a cage, who they decided it was best to leave in the cave.

Finally they encountered a pool containing a hideous tentacled horse thingy, a sight so horrific that some of the team were completely unable to act in the face of it. Not that Frida being unable to throw pebbles vaguely near it was going to make much of a difference. A bit of help from the sewer mutants, on the other hand...

Back on the surface it was time for a shopping trip so everyone could change career, and more importantly, dress like people who hadn't just been down a sewer full of mutants and tentacles.
