The search party ran into a bit of a snag.
Nyel, Theo and I searched for Finrod in the city sewers and got a bit more than we expected.
Theo: *wishing he had more waterproof boots as he straps on his armour*
Boromir: *pulls on his armor and his pair of already ruined boots* No used in ruining a second pair, right?
Theo: just pull me out if I fall into the sewage
Boromir: *wrinkles his nose* And do the same for me. *stands and unfolds his map of the sewers* I think we need to start here. *points at the spot where the last body was found*
Theo: sorry that Dred got assigned to another group. Let's be the ones that get into danger so he's all nice and safe. *looking at the map*
Nyel: *tying a rag around her face to block out the smell*
Boromir: Agreed. We'll find Finrod and bear the brunt of the battle. *looks at Nyel* Excellent idea. *pulls a rag from his pouch and does the same*
Theo: *hunts down his own* I look like a bandit.
Nyel: it's what I used to do when mucking out parts of the ship back 'home'
Boromir: That makes sense. *leads them to the spot where the last body was found, and points to the manhole* It's wet and slippery, so I'll lead the way. Theo, you be in charge of the map. *hands it to him* Nyel, keep watch behind us in case of an ambush. I'll take the lead. *begins backing down the ladder into the sewer*
Theo: *hands the lamp to one of the elf guards coming with them and climbs down, carefully holding the map*
Nyel: *hops onto the path on the side of the sewers* They had tunnels like this back in Dol Amroth. Once we snuck in for a raid through on--oh nevermind
Boromir: *narrowly avoids stepping off the pathway and into the muck* Ugh. I'm glad I didn't miss like I did last time. *looks at Theo* Which way?
Theo: *orienting himself* ...we want to go down that tunnel *points* it leads to the larger areas.
Boromir: *takes his torch from one of the guards and leads the way, looking for footprints, handprints or any other sort of signs of a scuffle*
Theo: *walking along, listening*
Nyel: this is kind of fun. In a smelly way
Boromir: *looks at her and grins* You have a strange idea of fun. *stops suddenly and leans closer to the side wall* Look at this. I think it's a scuffmark from a boot. Several of them. Like someone kicked at the wall.
Nyel: A struggle or just trying to get crap off their shoe? *wants to come closer to check the wall, but sticking to her duties of guarding their backs*
Theo: we're getting closer to the middle of the network, sir.
Boromir: *looks more closely* No, I think it's kicking. See, here and here *points* looks like the boot is being drug. And there's no evidence of any crap on the wall, wet or dry. Let's keep moving.
Theo: Hope they're still alive
Borormir: *frowns* Don't say that. He's alive. He has to be. *comes to the network of tunnels and stops* What do you think, Theo? Nyel? Any suggestions on which way to go?
Nyel: *shudders and not sure why* it doesn't feel fun here anymore.
Theo: Yeah. It feels... creepy. *looks at the elves in their group, who look definitely unsettled*
Theo: Let's keep going to the centre.
Boromir: *doesn't feel anything, but keeps an eye on the elven guards, who look apprehensive* Maybe there is a spell or ward of protection here. The closer we get to them, the worse some of you might feel. Tell me if one direction makes you feel worse than another. *walks toward the center*
Theo: *walks alongside him* this one *points at a crossroad in the tunnels* We want to go left
Boromir: *nods and heads left*
Theo: it doesn't feel right down here.
Boromir: It must be the spell. *finds it odd that he doesn't feel anything, but says nothing* What part of the city is this that we are under? I wonder what is directly above us.
Theo: we're getting close to where Feanor was telling me that he was getting his own weirdness
.
Boromir: Can you tell on the map where we are? What buildings we are near? *turns around* Nyel, are you seeing anything behind us?
Nyel; no, sir. No one's following us, as far as I can tell
Theo: We're—
Cultists: *ATTACK*
Cultists: *from the sides, through a small tunnel*
Boromir: *unsheaths his sword* On guard! They're coming from the flanks! *stabs one in the chest*
Guards: *spring to action*
Theo: *gets by Boromir to watch his back*
Madness of the cosmic horror beneath the city: *hits Boromir once, hard*
Boromir: *stumbles backward, unsure of what just hit him, and swings his sword at the closest cult member, hitting him in the shoulder* What the hell???!
Nyel: *swarmed by two larger cult members and does the smart thing, which is try to get out of their reach*
Boromir: *disengages and turns to see Nyel in trouble* Theo! Behind you! *stabs at a cult member, then rushes after Nyel*
Theo: *kicks away the cult member, who gets caught up in a fight with the elf guards and runs after Boromir*
Boromir: *catches up to one of the larger cult members after Nyel and runs him through*
Theo: *wishing he had more waterproof boots as he straps on his armour*
Boromir: *pulls on his armor and his pair of already ruined boots* No used in ruining a second pair, right?
