Escape from Kratas: Sewer Situation

by Guillermo Pynn

Guillermo Pynn awoke to the sound of a latch opening, he had been caught and held captive in a cell for a few days and it was he had been wandering about in Kratas and then he got jumped by a group and dragged into the pens at the abandoned Temple of Dis where this gang was using as a base of operations.
 
Guillermo learned that Kroptark the Immense’s gang was in control of the area. The mysterious elven woman said she was part of the gang but needed a favour later, she told him to be at the Axe in Hand Inn where she would explain later. She told Guillermo to be quick and directed him to the sewer entrance.
 
The mysterious elven woman moved on as quietly as she arrived. Guillermo gathered up his stuff in a trunk by the cell and made his way to the sewer enterance, he trudged along the way and got turned around. Above ground he could tell you the direction, but underground he was lost.
 
He rounded a corner and stumbled across a group of adventures who seem to be on the run as well. A big brute of an ork (Drax), T’strang (Krilong), another elf (Alshta) and a windling (Pip). Guillermo learns they were also aided in their escape by a mysterious elven woman as well. Guillermo asks if they don’t mind an extra body in the company since it’s good to travel in numbers. Especially, in the sewers.
 
Just as the team begins to move there is a huge alligator that charges in and tries to take a big chunk out of Drax. There is a huge battle as the creature is a lot tougher than it looks. The skirmish takes a few rounds and after all is said in done, the beast is done and team continues along the way. Alshta insisting that we head above ground as quick as possible.
 
Following the sewers for what seems like miles there is a shaft of light ahead to reveal a hole topside and a heap of garbage. It seems this area is a garbage dump as the group carefully makes it way to the post, they discover a huge lizard-like beast int he trash. It’s a plague lizard and it’s bite is nasty as Guillermo discovers.
 
Pip tries to distract the beast while we pepper off a few shots at it but to no avail, the beasts teeth had found a soft spot on Guillermo’s arm and injects him with some form of plague cause him to vomit as his guts seems to churn and spit. The beast is wounded as the team manage to hit it hard and it burrows back into the trash.
 
Alshta says it’s time to go while the getting is good and we climb up the trash heap and into a shanty town. Covered in crud and looking for a place to wash up and rest, the group wanders about and soon sees the Axe in Hand Inn where the woman who freed us is waiting. Her name is tilde and she is a member of a sub-group of the gang that doesn’t like the way the gang leader, Vistrosh, is doing things.
 
Tilde says she paid for room and baths and arranged to have the mounts brought in from Kratas proper. Guillermo and his new-found friends, Alshta, Pip, Krilong and Drax settle in for the night for a bath, a hot meal and a comfy place to rest for the evening.
