The murder the Knights are sent to investigate took place in an abandoned warehouse, near the largest highway in London. The aging and dilapidated structure is covered with graffiti and bits of rusting metal.

Squad cars and emergency vehicles have surrounded the building. Outside the main entrance, police officers are questioning a small crowd of people when the Knights arrive.

Fred parks the car, and looks across through the passenger window.

"Must be the place. Let's roll."

[ fred glances down the sewer, to where it cuts a sharp left ahead. ] I don't think it's gonna get any better, in terms of the sewer levels. [ he grimaces ] At this rate, we're going to have this fight on their terms... and it's gonna be fighting the tide the whole way. I don't think I like those odds, especially versus three of 'em, when we saw what just one did.

[godblessyou]

So what do we do? [T-diddle might've made the swim easily, but she's still grimacing at the muck.] Cause I'm assuming letting them go on their happy dinosaur way isn't gonna be the answer.

[reallywicked]

If we knew where they were going we could get the hell out of here and just cut them off. What do crazy test tube dinosaurs want in a sewer anyway?

[cuivre]

Kind of hard to check where they're heading in this muck.

[But they could head back out and take a look at the locator again.]

[nepotism]

I'm not sure that locator's gonna tell us much. They seemed pretty stationary.

[pathology]

Maybe stationary means dead now. Means we also don't have to keep sewer-crawling. [s-so hopeful.]

[reallywicked]

I vote for less sewer anything.

[godblessyou]

Yes, please! [Says the one who's quite literally in this muck over her head.]

[nepotism]

We can't risk it. There have to be several different ways out of these sewers and we can't cover them all. They've probably made a lair down here. [ he slogs forward, to round the next bend. ] It doesn't look anymore than knee-high around here.

[godblessyou]

Knee-high for humans. [Grumble grumble SOME OF US ARE PRACTICALLY KNEE-HIGH OURSELVES CHECK YOUR HEIGHT PRIVILEGE.]

[pathology]

Did anyone bring a raw steak we could lure them out with?

[cuivre]

You can ride on my shoulders if you want, munchkin.

[Rude, Miles. He glances at Astrid.]

My chest is still practically raw steak at this point. Probably the closest thing you've got at any rate.

[And probably hella infected now bc sewers. Ew.]

[godblessyou]

I'm a gnome, not a munchkin. I do not belong to the Lollipop Guild. [Apparently she's been in the world long enough to make pop culture references and get annoyed.] Does the tracking thing at least say we're getting close?

[nepotism]

Just one more turn. [ let's establish marching order bitches. ] I'll take the lead.

[pathology]

I'll stay back with raw meat chest, in case he starts bleeding out or something.

[reallywicked]

[Faye points to T Diddle.]

If she gets behind any of us, she's not going to see anything coming.

[godblessyou]

Also the most bite sized! And, you know, not a fighter! I'm more ok with not seeing things than getting eaten!

[cuivre]

Then stay back here with us.

[He nods to Fred.]

Let's do this.

[nepotism]

[ he nods, and fred and faye head off alone?? it seems like. this is obviously the gang's best idea yet. ]

[reallywicked]

[Yep. Nothing can go wrong.]

You know-- If you wanted to ask me out, there are much simpler ways.

[Look! It's a joke! But no really Fred you're hot.]

[nepotism]

[ he chuckles at that ] This wouldn't really be my first choice of date locale. [ after another hundred feet or so, the tunnel comes to a crossing. the water is now waist-high, making it even more difficult to move through. other than the sounds of their sloshing, and the ever-present rush of water ahead, the tunnel is deathly silent.

well. for a moment. suddenly, the water around them erupts, and the heads of two dinosaurs appear, ready to attack. yaaaay. ]

[godblessyou]

...this is boring. [Yep, T-Diddle's just quietly wandering after them now theoretically she'll hear eating sounds if... the other guys get eaten.]

[nepotism]

[ since he's already drawn, fred wheels on the dinosaur down the left hand tunnel, stabbing down into the water too quickly (13), as barney the dinosaur splashes aside. his next attack fares even worse (atk 11). ]

Where's the other one?!

[cuivre]

[I'm going to...assume it's my turn? lol dinos errywhere. I will also assume they're still close enough to hear that.]

I don't know, man!

[Looking, looking. (Spot 20)]

[reallywicked]

[Faye tries to glance for any sign of the last one but... her spot of 10 leaves her mostly useless. Unfortunately, that glance must have thrown off her aim because she sure misses Barney (attack 13).]

Ugh, please just die already.
