'Maybe that's what happened? At least we're safe here. And it's not like the Sixth would usually go poking around here. Has too high standards. The First, on the other hand, well, it is more possible. Sewers aren't its natural habitat, but it does like freezing dark places. And turning people into their own worst enemies. Don't worry, that won't happen to us. We're going to be fine' He seems deadly serious
'Wait, where's my shirt?'

You guys are awesome and mean so much to me. And mean so much to each other.
Somewhere in a different part of the sewers, a tapping sound echoes through the tunnels of sludge.
The tapping grows louder and louder. Eventually one of the walls collapses in rubble and a shadowy figure stumbles into the sewers. They splash into the sewage and fall onto their knees. Something heavy drops from their hand and into the water, becoming partially submerged. They are panting badly and their shape is hard to make out. They are short, they seem to have a lot of hair, and the clink of metal can be heard whenever they move. It struggles back to its feet and begins piling the stone and rubble back up, filing in the hole they came from. It finishes this job fairly quickly though it is poorly done. The figure staggers a few feet away before collapsing into the filthy water again. They do not stir.
The figure lying in the sewage rises. It struggles to its feet, and looks around. This area is unnaturally bright. At least it is brighter than where it is from. They stand up, disoriented. A few steps later and they are lying face first in the water. They groan as they rise to their feet again and they search for whatever they tripped over. Eventually their hand grasps a familiar handle. It picks it up, strangely comforted by its presence. It is the only thing it recognizes. Well, there was also the darkness, but they both feared and yearned for the darkness. They stagger away, dripping with slime and occasionally stopping to use a slick wall as a support.
'I hear something. It's near. Is it coming? No. It can't be, can it?'
The noise grows louder. It moans and out of the shadows a short, hairy figure staggers closer. At first it is hard to tell because they are soaked and covered with sewer garbage, but you realize this is a dwarf covered in full armor and carrying a pick ax. His beard is matted and clumped with garbage, and at first they don't notice you. Their eyes seem to slide all over the place unseeingly, never focusing on any one thing. Then, they do. They catch on you for a moment and an undiscernible expression flashes across his face. He moans something in Dwarvish. *read spoiler if you understand Dwarvish.*
They gargle in a broken voice, "Don't take me back. I am not going back!"
Flint pokes him with his quarterstaff, standing at a distance. Flint's usually okay with random guys covered in filth lying in the sewer, but he's sort of on edge and expecting something Dark.

His breath bubbles in the sewer water, but there is no other response.
*last time he got reduced to 0hp he was knocked out instead of killed*
*Okay, thanks. You might want to consider leveling him up in the future unless that messes up your character in some way. I am not saying you have to level up for this thing right now, though if you want to that would be fine, but it does make it easier for people to run adventures with you.*

*Maybe we should wait for Stertle?*
*Maybe a good idea unless Stertle has gone*

*Are you okay with combat? If so, what level is your character? I will be careful and try not to let you die.*
Stertle has gone
