```Luckily for all three of them, this sewer route isn't actually that bad. It's surprisingly well-kept, with an elevated side area, wide walkways that pass over and cover every path, and decently flowing water running through the middle. It's not nearly as horrendous as one might have been expecting.
Manfred drops down after the other two enter. "Try to ignore the homeless and steer clear of the gangsters," He says. "Sewers have more shit than shit in them."
He grabs a hand lantern from his hip and carries it in his right hand, currently not holding his sword. Shield still strapped to the left arm, but it's too big and bulky to also carry the hand lantern. Manfred lights the lamp up and gets moving with the group.
The sewers are almost pitch black except for the zones with manholes, overhead openings, torches, and fires or lights made by the people down here. Those lights are few and far between though, and the braziers aren't lit, suggesting nobody has really needed that light source so much. Still the torches attached to each of them are not static, so either if the two can grab one and light it up if they want to.```

Alexander would be hard to read... Momo didn't understand him. He couldn't tell his facial expression from the strange mask, and his tone of voice would seem unchanging.

*Oh god...* It was time to get down into the sewers. It'd be an awkward climb down, Momo adjusted himself and his armour in the rigid way down. Momo held his breath as he climbed down, he didn't want to be hit with another *Disgusting* Stench. It reminded him of his first quest; that goblin cave. His skin crawled. 

Preparing himself for the worst, he finally lets himself take a breath and look around the sewers. 

**"Oh thank god."** Oops, he let that slip. He covered his mouth with his hand and bowed slightly to Manfred and Alexander. 

*Ignore the homeless? That'd be hard... And awkward. Momo never knew what to do with his eyes when passing by the homeless.* Momo's body becomes slightly stiff as they continued to head-on following Manfred as their only guide at the moment. He held onto his spear tightly, becoming slightly nervous now they were doing this.

"Oh!" Momo reached into his cuirass, he took out his amulet in a weird rigid motion. Activating it, `Gift of Luminescence` lits up bright light 3 feet around him and 15 feet of dim light. "There we go..." 

"Manfred, do you know exactly where we'll be entering? Like, where we'll be positioned compared to those 5 bastards?"

And that's fine. Quests are great for character growth.

**As Alexander went in the manhole, he found it to be less of a sewage. He deeply sighed of relief that he doesn't have to meet the perpetrators and fighting them while looking like he came out of a toilet.**

**As Alexander heard something about gangsters and homeless people, he is quite prepared when gangsters ever attack him but homeless people? He may look like a cold-blooded doctor, but he somewhat have a heart.**

**Alexander won't be needing any form of light because he would activate his Night Vision and Coloured Night Vision to see the dark. But he appreciate it.**

```Manfed turned and looked over to Momo as he started generating some kind of light. "Hey, nice. Where'd you get that from?" He asks, inquiring about the amulet. Would be far more useful than a hand lantern.
After posing the question he waits for a response, and then he goes on to answer Momo's question: "Bottom floor. The perps apparently broke in from underground... For some reason. We're gonna be taking the same route as them and take them by surprise from below. As for exactly where we're entering... I don't know."
As they walk, they come by a fire barrel that lights the area up pretty well. Manfred lowers his arm for a bit while they pass by, using that light and Momo's glow for some respite and he massages his shoulder.
An old man, a Felinid mother holding a bundle in her arms, and a one-armed heavily scarred Brayer are nestled near the fire barrel. There's also a well-living Fire Macen with many burns on him.
Manfred stares that Fire Macen down, recognising him. "You! You're wanted for conspiring treason!"
Unbeknownst to the two questers - but knownst to L'espoir - this Fire Macen is the first target from the first Deliverance quest I hosted. The homeless group is also composed of the same people that Maximus and Uggy met in the same quest.
As soon as Manfred piped up, the Brayer stands up and holds his arm forward as if to defend everybody behind him. Even with just one arm, this guy, towering over everyone and having to bend down to not hit his head on the sewer roof, could probably wipe them all out if provoked.
The baby starts crying.
Manfred growls. He has a strict sense of law, and oft forgoes morals in his pursuit of justice, but he isn't gonna face off against the large Brayer. He looks to his two companions, and decides to continue on with them, saying nothing else of it.```

"It's an enchantment!" Momo stopped himself from explaining further about the enchantment. Did he want to mention he took the enchantment because he liked the idea of being *A shining light of hope? Oh god, that was cheesy. He blushed a little.*

Momo would think over Manfred's response. *Wouldn't they take precautions to block where they came from? Hopefully, they were dumb enough to not do that. Unless...*

Then, Manfred would suddenly accuse a Fire Macen of treason! *Oh god. Oh god Momo was saying oh god a lot today.* Luckily, they didn't get into a confrontation, they already had their hands full with the hostage situation. Although the air would have a slight thickness because of that interaction. *Did they want to go back and confront those suspects afterward? Or?* For now, Momo trusts Manfred's decision of continuing on. 

Momo directed another question to Manfred, "Why are they holding a hostage? Surely it's for some sort of ransom."
Sherry
**As Alexander turned his head to Momo, he doesn't want to sound rude so he politely spoke* "I am just gonna use my Night Vision." *He would halt as he saw a group of people by the fire barrel. Once Manfred accuse the fire macen for treason, he fixed his coat a bit incase the fire macen decide to run or anything.**

**He would start to take some calm breaths with the help of the Rosemary in his mask which Manfred and Momo can possibly smelt in his mask. He would nod in approval to continue on as he had a weird feeling in his stomach of what happened to these people, he did felt atleast some pity.**

**He decided its his turn to reply and would speak to Manfred** "Do these perpetrators have some sort of reputation before? Like a bounty on them? Just wondering since I am a bounty hunter."'

```Manfred pushes aside his thoughts of arresting the traitor to answer their questions.
"Think they did a botched robbery and took hostages to buy time. Explains why they broke in from below. We see this a lot really, people using hostages as deterrent." He them answers Alexander's question; "Not that we can tell just yet. We don't know what any of them look like, but they are not common thugs. They knew where the were going when they attacked... Guess time will tell."
Up ahead there's a light and the group can see what looks like a broken wall. "We're here. Hope you're ready."```
Dan
"Hmm, so they're desperate?" Momo mumbles to himself. If it's a botched robbery, they should perhaps be open to negotiation. They most likely want to escape. If they were so hostile standing there ground, there must be *Something* They don't want us touching. 

Momo wouldn't have much time to keep going through his thoughts before they reached a broken wall. He deactivated his `Gift of Luminescence` and tucked the amulet away. 

"They're most likely fidgety and have clouded judgement. I could try negotiating, or at least, offer a distraction while Manfred and Alexander secure the hostage. Although that's my suggestion, what do you guys think?" Honestly, even after witnessing the man fall off from the window, Momo believed he might still be able to negotiate with them. His `Gift of Goodwill` would really help in this situation. But maybe Momo was being too confident?
Sherry
Alexander would start to think, what is there purpose of taking these hostages in the first place. There must be another purpose he though to himself. As they reached the broken wall, he deactivated his **Night Vision and Coloured Night Vision** And ready to activate his **Listener** Ability.

"I guess, I am taking the stealth option."

**Alexander would commented, stealth won't be too hard for Alex as he is good when it comes to it. Bounty hunting is often about stealth.**
