Cult of Flint

You are standing at the bottom of a chute in the sewers. Further along the pipe, you can hear voices and music. Rats scuttle in the darkness, and the whole place smells predictably awful. 

(Is this me or my character?)

*your character?*

Your character can see a couple of figures dressed in rags swimming in a pool of filthy water. For some reason, they seem happy. And not just happy. Chill

Idk why i needed clarification, I'm so dumb lol)) Despite being somewhat disgusted, I trudge on, wondering why people are so happy, and looking for the source of the wonderful music all the while holding my guitar ready to play along.

The source of the music turns out to be a skinny half-elf playing the lute to a couple of followers. He turns to face your character. 'Hey, ya wanna join us? We have takeaway noodles'

Some of the people are indeed eating noodles out of cardboard cartons. Others are floating around in the water on rafts and rubber rings made from trash

'It's a pretty place. And welcoming. Kinda why it's set up down here'

 “Wanna grab some more takeaway noodles?” Davras asks Flint.

"I'd love to join ya guys."

 “Wanna grab some more takeaway noodles?” Davras asks Flint.

 'Of course!' On cue, one of the rats takes some money and zooms off to fetch the noodles.

"I'd love to join ya guys."

 'That's great!' says the half-elf. On closer inspection, he seems to be extremely pale, as if he never goes outside much, and his hair has not been cut or washed in a while. 'So, what brings ya to us?'

"I tripped and fell down an open manhole."

'Makes sense. Happens a lot. Good thing ya didn't break ya neck, or we'd be looting ya corpse right now. But enough of that, are you OK? Need healing?'

"Please, actually."

'Sure, no probs!' Flint channels healing energy into your character, leaving them refreshed and no longer injured. 'Sorry ya had to fall down here, it's a nasty drop. Must have been an extra squishy landing now that new toilet was put in, reckon that was what saved ya. Too much information?'

"It's- Uh, it's fine. Thanks. I'm Tyrion by the way."

'Cool name! And sorry if I'm ever too gross. Kinda comes with the territory, being a guy raised by rats and all...'

*gtg*

K))"Raised by rats?"

'Yep! My home burned down when I was a baby, I managed to make it out, and the rats looked after me. For a long time, they were my only family or friends'

"That's metal as hell."

'Too right it is!' He grins manically. 'Call me crazy, but it was the best thing that happened to me! The surface world kinda sucks'

"The music up there is good though."
