Month of Tempests, 25th day, 440

After getting a good nights sleep and breakfast we head out to pick up Puddles, the kidnapper who spilled his guts and his bladder. He's going to act as our "guide" to were he and his crew are held up with the kidnapped governor's daughter.

When we get to the stockades to pick him up we have a surprise waiting for us. To help us on our endevor to bring back the captians betrothed back to him we have been deputized with a writ for each of us to boot. I could see a look of pride and joy when the captain gave me mine. I think I saw him shed a tear.

After following Puddles down a couple of back alleys we get to the grate that'll lead us to the sewers. From what Puddles tells us he and his crew are down here along with the girl. The crew is lead by a guy named Zajax. I've never heard of him. Could be a independant working for a outside source. Whoever he is he found one peachy place to hole up. I only go into the sewers if I'm desperate for a way to ditch The Guard. It's not the stench you have to worry about, it's the other [BROWNIES] down here you have to worry about and I'm not talking about the stuff that comes out of your [CHAIR]. We all jump in. The look on Mordryth's face is classic. It was tough for me to keep from laughing.

After slogging through the sewers in what seemed like circles for what felt like hours, we finally get somewhere, except it's in the middle of an ambush. Looks like Puddles was setting us up. The bastard. Not that I'm surprised. I would have done the same thing. As we're taking care of the mess we're in Puddles tries to make a break for it. Opal's on top of it and takes him down with a crossbow without killing him. The ambushers aren't so lucky and end up floating with the rest of the [BROWNIES]. Since we didn't make any headway or find Zajax and the girl we decide to get out of the [BROWNIE]hole (literly) we're in and head back to the inn and figure a better way to go about this and to clean the stink and [BROWNIES] off of us.

Still, I got deputized and got to see the pained look on the Captain of The Guard's face as he handed me my writ. And got to see the pure unadulterated look of joy on Mordryth's face as we trudged through the sewers.

All in all, minus the sewers, it was a good day.
