[The park is in walking distance! There's still a smattering of actual greenery around the statue depicting the battle with the Black Ram, though no wolfsbane remains. There's also that plaque on it, but with no Weeds, they can't make out the words.

As for lights, nope! The sole office light that lead them to the tower-like business skyscraper has gone dark. It's somehow even MORE dead than before. Fucked up. Maybe this was a dead end after all. Welp, that's the end of the adventure, goodbye, time to go home.



Though, Cepheus in particular may pick up on the movement of water below them. A constant flow too, manmade, nothing like the rivers and streams in the meadow and forest. Maybe they should check the sewers.]

[abandon_hope]

[ Kevin keeps meandering a little, not too far. .. and glances back towards Cepheus. He knows that look. ]

Did you find anything?

[audacity]

Yeah.

[ opens his eyes, then sweeps his eyes down the street. loud enough for everyone to hear, ]

Guys, there's water under our feet. A lot of it. There might be something worth seeing in the sewers.

[endsjustified]

How different does it feel from the water flow of, well, an actual sewer?

[mykidisthebest]

[immediately looks tired]

I forgot to bring my swimsuit. Can you sense if anything is in the water? I don't want to immediately get gobbled up by a mist shark.

[abandon_hope]

I can probably open a path down if you can tell me where to dig.

[spinebuddyandme]

Gross.

[endsjustified]

Hm...well, it was still worth a look.

[what does the sky look like. if it is like 'all mist no hope of a clear night' that'll at least rule out looking in the mist for that grave at all

also bEFORE THEY GO IN ANY SEWERS does it look like this city would have a city centre. city hall. city library. city information repository]

[wooliefrand]

[NONE SKY ONLY MIST. Which is telling tbh. Not matter where they go, they're unable to see the sky or stars, or more alarmingly, the moon.. Sucks for you wolves.

And nope none of that! The nearest building looks promising but an open book on a table immediately dissolves into dust if disturbed. It looks like Bea's office was the only 'functional' place in the city. At the time anyway.]

[endsjustified]

[smh no one conserved these centuries-old records huh]

[mykidisthebest]

[bold of you to assume they won't just wander the whole city; there's a whole dead city to explore]

Should we find a vantage point from up high to see what we can spot?

[spinebuddyandme]

Scarab and I could try flying straight up.

[mykidisthebest]

Just the pair I was thinking of.

[gives him a thumbs up]

Would you two be able to make a quick sketch of whatever you see from above? Any big locations, like a town hall or a library. Or a gambling den.

[endsjustified]

[AFTER SOME BRIEF CASTING AROUND IN/ABOVE THE CITY Lily does determine there is not much of value left up here, much to their chagrin.

it's time . . . to go inspect a manhole]

[audacity]

[ as they walk up to it ]

Is anyone gonna mind if I just stick my head in and look first?

[ we're scaling it back from proposals of jumping in!!!! ]

[abandon_hope]

Not a bad idea. I can probably help navigate while we're down, too.

[spinebuddyandme]

I guess that's fine. We can pull you back if anything happens.

[mykidisthebest]

Well, someone's gotta go first. If you're volunteering, then have at it.

[abandon_hope]

[ Right then. Kevin frowns at the edge of it, peering down. ]

Guess we just head down there.

[ he oes draw his sword. ]

[audacity]

[ good idea. he takes riptide from his pocket and keeps it in hand, if in pen form ]

[mykidisthebest]

[pulls out his mana gun and ties a sunflower to it so he can easily attempt to laser beam OR sunflower beam whatever tries to eat them]

Keep an eye out for sea monsters. Or sewer wolves.

[wooliefrand]

[there's a goatse joke somewhere there in this farm themed game but we are too classy for that maybe,


They will find........the lid removes rather easily. Well, for them at least. For an absolutely normal person, it's heavy as fuck, and will make a scraping noise when pulled off. One that rings through the city, and they may hear the sounds of growls in the distance.

Inside. . .is pitch black. They can't see the bottom.

There's a single ladder though. So they can climb down or simply take a leap of faith.]

[audacity]

[ climbs down like. two rungs. just to try to see what he can get from his water-sensing again. any critters down there? anything weird about the water? any...thing? ]

[endsjustified]

[we're waiting for the boys' verdict up here but probably no one is just going to JUMP]

FOR REAL THIS TIME,

[audacity]

[ carefully going down those stairs and landing in the water with a splash, then waiting for the others ]
