Round 41

The city guard leader eyed Gravedigger Renn warily before addressing the party, his hand still gripping his sword hilt as if for added reassurance. "What's going on here? We've had reports of strange noises and movements in the area." He handed a lantern to one of his guards, instructing him to light it and cast flickering shadows on the ash-choked road. The guard hesitated, then lit the lantern, casting eerie shadows that danced across the ground like skeletal fingers.

Gravedigger Renn took a step back, his eyes darting nervously towards the tunnel system, as if he feared being pulled back into its depths. Sister Hale stood firm beside him, her gaze unwavering as she pressed him for answers. "I need to know what's happening," she said, her voice steady despite the fear that trembled beneath it. The city guard leader watched them with a mixture of curiosity and suspicion, his hand still resting on the hilt of his sword.
