Re: Eggception (thetwo)
"Dogs, spiders, slimes, and tentacle creatures. Those are what I'd expect to run into down here. The good news is, none of those typically try to enslave you if they happen to run into you, at least on the surface or away from their home. Of course there's no guarantee, if they're in a position where they can keep you indefinitely then they may just do that, but generally speaking most of them will let you go, spiders being the biggest potential exception, especially if you walk into a spider nest."
The pair of women were currently walking down a basement corridor of the EGG building, Mary holding a dim lantern and Aura with a flashlight that Charlie had remembered to give them. There wasn't much in the way of lighting, making for a somewhat spooky atmosphere, but given that they were still under Charlie's security blanket, they knew there was nothing here that could get them. Mary had decided to try to give Aura a bit more information on what they could expect in the sewers while they could still talk without fear of ambush.
"That's all of the major stuff I can think of off the top of my head. There's tons of things down there, but those are the staples of the sewers. And I haven't exactly spent a lot of time down there myself. I guess the biggest danger is that a lot of those things make their nests, or dens, or whatever you want to call their homes down there. That means you're definitely on their turf, and it's a lot easier for them to... bring you home and keep you." On that glum note they reached the door.
HERE WE ARE. ONCE YOU MAKE IT OUT THE DOOR GO LEFT, LEFT AT THE FORK, STRAIGHT AT THE NEXT SPLIT, AND THEN THE STATION WILL BE ON YOUR RIGHT. THE STATION USED TO DRAW ENERGY FROM THE PHYSICAL MOVEMENT OF SEWAGE AS WELL AS FROM THE METHANE GAS COMING FROM THE SEWAGE. OF COURSE NOW THERE'S NO SEWAGE SO IT'S A BIT OF A HASSLE TO HAVE THE STATION OUT THERE, BUT AT LEAST SINCE THE SEWAGE HAS HAD SO LONG TO DECAY, THE SMELL IS GONE, RIGHT? The door unlocked and slid open.
True to his word, there was no ghastly stench, it was more like a damp cave than anything else. There was almost no light in this part of the system except for where light trickled in from storm drains and cracks in the ceiling. Generally not enough to see by until they flipped on their lantern and flashlight. Immediately out of the door the tunnel went right or left, Mary led the way to the left and allowed Aura to draw even with her, their steps echoing faintly in the long, dark tunnels. When they reached the first intersection, a fourway, Mary pointed the way left. They had only gone a few steps when a schlucking sound stopped them in their tracks. In front of them was a large, round blob of blue slime, roughly four feet tall, but nearly as round. It was probably fairly heavy. From the way it started bouncing towards them, an odd sight to say the least, it definitely knew where they were, somehow.

Lantern and Flashlight get! Also, I'm sure you have +1 with the ax, I don't know that I gave you a +2 yet. I'll go back and check but for now I'm just giving you +1 to ax-attacks.
