Gerad was walking slowly back to where he lived after being stationed in the city when he heard a faint sound coming from a nearby sewer grate. walking over curiously, he heard both the sound of someone screaming for help and the unmistakable clanking of armor. he looked at the locked grate, put his staff in the gap between the edge of the grate and the cobblestones, and used his staff as a lever to break the lock and open the grate. he entered the waterway, the screaming coming from one direction, the clanking from the other. he headed towards the screaming in case whoever it was was injured.
