Paradoxides, Lorandil and Yspadadden decide to explore the ancient Chittagong sewers again. This time they take along some professionals to show them the ropes – Galf Blackshield, Axe-heidrek and the rogue Rangi Rat.
They encounter and kill a pack of Wererats (one of whom has a magic shortsword). Their experts tell them that these are endemic to the sewers. They find and reconnoitre the basement of a house before deciding that there is no reason to go further. They also discover what they believe to be a Starguard – an ancient ensorcelled warrior – guarding another exit. They surmise that this might be in the vicinity of the King’s Palace. They decide not to try the mettle of the ancient Defender of the Realm.
Lorandil and Paradoxides both get lung-rot and have to be healed.
