Fox,

I did a walkabout of the sewers yesterday, and let me tell you right now, if you want me to do that again, you're gonna have to pay me more. In fact, you're going to have to pay me -period-.

In my time down there, I counted maybe a hundred rats, and twice as many oozes eating on the rotting bodies of 2 hundred more. I couldnt sneak past the little bastards, so in my circuit, I ended up near dead on more than a couple occasions, with what was basically a huge wave of slime following me around, waiting for me to take a wrong turn down a dead-end passage. Also saw a few of them Chosen Hunters which seem to be getting keener of eye and ear, and which dont seem bothered by the slimes.

Fraid I didnt find a source, I was too wary of walking into a room with only one entrance, or one with a closed door on the other side. Was afraid it'd be locked and I'd end up as a appetizer to a waterfall of slimes.

If you ask me, Block the entrances, flood the whole place with Alchies Fire, and strike a flint to it. Should sort the problem out plenty fine. Might get lucky and take care of the darkie problem down there too.

Jericho.
