Round 36 Transcript

The party stands frozen, unsure of how to proceed. Gravedigger Renn's frantic warnings still echo in their ears as the scuttling noise grows louder, closer. A group of city guards emerges from the nearby alleys, their torches casting flickering shadows on the ash-choked road. The leader, a burly man with a thick beard, eyes the party warily before addressing them. "What's going on here? We've had reports of strange noises and movements in the area."

The guards begin to circle around the party, their hands resting on the hilts of their swords. The air is heavy with tension as they wait for a response. Gravedigger Renn trembles, his eyes darting between the guards and the tunnel system below. "P-please, you have to believe me! There's something down there, something that's been awakened."

The party must decide how to respond: stand their ground, try to reason with the guards, or attempt to flee into the tunnels.
