Into the Snake Pit
CLANG!
The last trace of a stealthy entrance left as the grate clattered shut above Hippofiilus. It was probably unwise to ask their centaur friend to descend a ladder but there they were. That and the noise that the group had made on their approach would mean a welcoming party was likely there regardless.
Entering into the sewers, the air thick, it was hard to see and harder to fight but the Lady’s men did not take kindly to talking and Theo’s attempt to charm his way through was seen as hostile. The fight was brutal and quick, with the enemies scattering through the maze of tunnels.
When the din of the battle fell silent all that could be heard was the squeaking of rats and all that could be seen was the ichor in the trench, making its slow progress towards the sea. They were in deep shit, and they have not even stepped foot in the trench.
