14 Duskwell 87 Sewer sweep / apprentice training report - Team 1

Submitted by JeOc

Team

• Warrior JeOc

• Halfling Warrior Darelle Cloudheart

• Apprentice Cleric Sister Anazeli Brightwell

• Apprentice Halfling Finkin Havenbrace

• Apprentice Dwarf Fendral Ironheart

Sector covered: 2 in The Arch-Vault

• Overview: This sector lies directly beneath the oldest, wealthiest, and most religiously significant parts of Windgrest: the Noble Quarter, the Grand Temple District, and the Guildhall Row.

• Structure of the sewers in this area: This is the oldest and best-maintained section—massive, vaulted tunnels built from carefully cut stone. It has high ceilings, wide walkways, and a relatively strong, fast flow of water, powered by water diverted from the River Sanae to keep it clean.

• Drainage Type: Mostly storm runoff and outflow from public baths, elite residences, and municipal offices. Human waste is often sent to deep cesspits, making the air here surprisingly less noxious than other sectors.

• Additional Notes: It is likely used by smugglers and assassins due to its navigable size and numerous secret connections to Guild banks, Noble houses, and the City Council chambers.

14 Duskwell 87 Sewer sweep / apprentice training report - Team 2

Submitted by Mad Hamish

Team

• Warrior Mad Hamish

• Rogue Faelina Sablefoot

• Apprentice Halfling Corbin Kettlebright

• Apprentice Halfling Perry Meadowlight

• Apprentice Wizard Lira Denholm

Sector covered: 7 in The Port’s Maw (The Docks and Waterfront)

• Overview: This sector is the final destination for most of the city’s waste and is focused entirely on directing effluent into the harbor or the open sea.

• Structure: A massive, flat network of wide, sluggish channels leading to a few huge, brick-lined outfalls near the water level. Due to its proximity to the water table, this sector is prone to tidal flooding.

• Drainage Type: Sluggish, thick effluent where the majority of the city’s untreated sewage settles before being pushed out by tide or storm. The air is thick with methane and rot.

• Hazard/Use: This is the most physically dangerous section. The constant slow flow creates deep, shifting sludge (making movement difficult), and the high humidity and darkness are perfect for monsters that feed on waste and deep-cover criminal hideouts.

We were traveling back to Islebury and sent Viceth with Faelar to scout ahead. Viceth thought he saw something suspicious in the brush, so he stopped and dismounted to investigate, stepping into a bear trap. We wrapped the wound and Sister Elviane cast a healing spell.

In the afternoon, we were ambushed by 8 goblins. Rudolph, Santa, and I posted kills to the leaderboard.

Treasure: 5 gold

Bounty: 168 gold

14 Duskwell 87 Status Update: Crasemere Team

Submitted by Isseh Drah

Team

• Dwarf Warrior Isseh Drah

• Rogue Buddi du Elf

• Apprentice Barbarian Torvin Bjornson

• Apprentice Wizard Tar-Jel Varen

We were dispatched on an emergency basis to Crasmere. The town is being terrorized by a wild ogre.

Day 1: Travel (full day)

We were ambushed by a mummy, which we defeated. Torvin and Tar-Jel were injured in the fray. We bandaged them and took an hour’s rest for lunch before continuing.

Treasure: 1 wand of sleep
Bounty: 205 gold

The afternoon was uneventful, and we camped along the road in a forested area, setting a watch. At about 1:30 am, Buddi was on watch and noticed a weird doll lying on the ground just within the light cast by the campfire. It hadn’t been there before. He woke Tar-Jar just in case something might happen. Buddi approached carefully, noting that as he neared the doll, it began to take on his features. Despite experiencing a high level of fear, he grabbed the doll and threw it into the fire. They watched until it was completely burned to ash.

The rest of the night was uneventful.

Isseh Drah
