Ptolus 2

So we pick up the party taking a short break from their previous adventures. However they are itching to go back and follow up. So they return to the building where they found the rat hole and discover it has been cleaned up and semi-repaired. Greg (Carl) attempts to break down the door until he notices it's unlocked. Ness's (Dani) wolf notices that the trapdoor to the basement has been sealed up so the party (using a sewer map that El (Joe) had picked up) take to the sewers to backtrack to the "back" entrance. The search finds an empty area but they do notice a half ruined map of the sewers. Doing some backtracing the party finds another "staging" area.

El sneaks past the sentry by slipping through the sewage. A careful sneak attack kills the sentry and the party attempts to bait out the ratmen inside. The ratmen don't take the bait so the party advances in only to be confronted by a ratbrute who dumps Greg and El into the sewage. The party manages to overwhelm the brute and several ratlings and enter a room with many crates. Greg sweeps the room and finds a tunnel similiar to the one that connected the two rooms before. El investigates and sure enough there are a ton of ratmen in the other room.

The party baits them out and slaughters a ton of ratlings until several ratlords jump them from behind. The battle becomes more pitched, Ness gets shot. However the party perseveres and route all but the ratlord with the gun who escapes.

Half alive the party goes through the crates destroying huge amounts of drugs. However in the process they recover guns, magic items, other "items", and cash. A nice take. The "items" turn out to be chaositech. Greg goes to one of the bigger churches to attempt to get the items destroyed but is thwarted by a stiff bueacracy that sends him back to his direct superior. Greg is not totally happy about this.

And that's where things left off. One stinky but wealthier party.
