Fun in the Sewers

The sewers were a lot cleaner then they normally would have been. The heavy rain did a good job of that. Moving through the sewers was slow. Water was up to Eru’s waist and they slowly trudged through it. The sewer was dark and the water was cold, they would have to get out soon or risk hypothermia.

Time seemed to slow to a crawl. One foot in front of the other, they moved in tandem. Only rushing water could be heard. It even drowned out the storm and maybe the attack too. Eru wondered if they had stopped shelling the place yet. He just wanted to get out of the sewer, they hadn’t seen an exit yet. It was possible they had missed one, the dark didn’t help with that. The roar of the water was getting louder up ahead. Probably not good, he laughed to himself.

Showdown

They made their way through a maze of hallways and rooms. Eru wasn’t sure how long he could remember the way back. Hopefully Basq had an exit plan. There was no one around the rooms were empty and guards didn’t seem to be in this area yet. Eru was beginning to warm up and he was mostly dry now.

Basq motioned for them to stop. There was a large round room ahead with a high ceiling. Guards were positioned around the room. The room was dark but lit up with each lightning strike. Some large doors were closed and protected by many more guards.

Climbing

“Let’s go quick,” Basq commanded to the the group as he got back. A strike of lightning lit up the hill momentarily. No one was on the hill yet that they could see. “The guards will be checking here soon, if we are lucky they will be a little slow just assuming the storm caused it”

They scampered out onto the hill trying to run up it as quick as possible. The grass and mud was slippery. Each step would slide a little backwards. The rain pounded their faces making it tough to see far ahead. Another bolt of lightning went across the sky lighting the hill up with them on it.

Thunder

The day went quickly enough. The location given to them by Basq was an open square. Most likely not the actual place but a rendezvous point. They could be sniped down there but they could be sniped anywhere. It didn’t really matter what Basq had planned for them they had to go and be alert.

They waited there now. They were wearing some loose fitting clothing that didn’t draw attention to themselves and could easily fight in without getting in the way. The sun was beginning to set, colors weren’t as sharp as midday and the sky had a warm glow to it. A breeze was beginning to pick up that cooled down the air.
