Fox,

Another report on the beasties of the Underdark for you.

The Dark Stream - Trogs. I counted 17 Trogs, in three tribes. No signs of any activity to be concerned with.

The Dark Canal - Seelie numbers seem to be holding more or less the same. All done, counted about 37 of them, from the various types (Redcaps, Seelie, Merrow). They seem to be more interested in they own comings and goings than ours.

The Lower Ruins - Clunkers and Chosen again. Numbers of chosen are steady at about 19 right now, though I seen a couple of the stronger spellflingers too

Sewers - Rats, Chosen, and more pointears tracks. Tracked but didnt see 2 chosen, prolly the Hunter ones, cause they's tricky. Also saw more darkie tracks. Didnt see no darkies though.

Dunwarren Ruins - Usual wildlife. Nothing worth mentioning in the caves neither.

Windy Canyon - Stomper Bandits. Bridge aint any bigger, maybe theys on strike.

Sanctuary Gate Road - Small bands of Fuzzfaces and gobbies. Cleaned them all up as much as I could.

Lower Gate - Gates is still busted, saw some slimes, thought that was a bit strange. They aint usually where it aint wet.

Badlands - Orogs is holed up in they fort.

Mur - No new boats on the docks. Slavers are still holed up in they fort.

High Road - Trollies is staying in they cave.

Darkie Gate - Darkies got nothing going on, spiders is patrolling like usual. Counted 16 men on the walls, at least 3 were spellflingers. Theys gots rock and bolt flingers up there too.

Eyeball Way - Big buildup of slaves guarding the approach. Counted a mess of hornheads and stompers. About 16. Theys also gots some hulkies watching too. Couldnt get close enough to count'em.

Squiddie Stair - Same Hulkies watching the way. They see's far and true, cant get too close to tell you much.

Fishietown - Them ones seem to stay to theyselves. Walked the whole place, lost count of how many theys got. Mostly fishermen and guards though. Two ships in dock - Both Drow Slaveships.

Blue Mushroom - No new Lizzies there since Fryar and some folks and me killed the ones that was there. No new landings of they's ships neither. No ships in the docks at all.

Dark Lake North - No ships in the docks near the Lost Shop.

I checked all up and down the coast of the lake, as far as I could go, and the only ships I saw were at Mur and on the fishie island. Lake seems quiet right now.

Let me know if you needs me to checks someplace else.

Oh, one more thing. If you alls needs a new gates for the lower bit of town, why not just steal ones from the goblin slavers next time them seekers pay someone to kill all them? Theys gots a couple nice gates. Strong too. Figure some stouts could drive out the pins, and they could be drug back to town.

Jericho.
