Follow the Yellow Chalk Road

Tarsakh 30, 1493 DR

I snuck up behind the nearest creature and struck with my rapier which burst it like a bubble. One down, one to go. Moments later a fire bolt whooshed by and struck the other and also popped it. I looked back to see Mingnist with his hands raised in the direction of the fallen creature. That was the fastest combat I've ever been part of.

Ránath climbed a ladder located at the site of our unbalanced battle. He opened the cover at the top and reported that he discovered a storeroom full of food and drink. Lypher followed up to inspect as well. Ránath indicated that it seemed to be associated with a tavern of some sort. After a few moments the pair returned to the stench of the sewer.

We easily located the next symbol and continued our trek to locate Floon and followed them for approximately twenty more minutes. We found ourselves at a much narrower tunnel that was just as putrid as before. We stealthily progressed forward. Well, we tried. I heard far more noise from behind than I would have preferred. At any rate, we seemed to be in an older section of Waterdeep's sewer system where a room with arrow slits was discovered. I gave a quick search for traps but found nothing at all. Next I cautiously entered the room and peered through one of the slits. I could see the feet of a small sleeping individual.

At that moment Ránath sprinted off down a tunnel to the south. I had no idea where he was going but I looked through the second arrow slit on the opposite side of the room. Inside I noticed two sleeping goblins on the floor. I don't think these guys were fulfilling their duties. At that moment Lypher noticed the next yellow symbol for us to follow.

I listened at the door indicated by the symbol as Elora and Lypher headed off to fetch Ránath from whatever he was getting up to. There were no sounds beyond. Just as I was pondering opening it the three missing party members returned from their mini excursion. Ránath was talking about some rat or something down there. I lost interest before he started to be honest.

I proceeded through the door and into a bendy passage that was also equipped with an arrow slit beyond which I could hear the sleeping goblins once again. The next door opened upon a room full of detritus to my left and the room of the goblins to the right. I suggested that we sneak up on them, restrain them, and question them.
