Wren's assumptions, which is all anyone can make was that they were a fair distance away, or making lots of noise... not that she's right. A city girl, not a sewer rat.<br/><br/>as a side note, to me, the party is niether sneaking, nor moving in a hurried pace. Wren is, as most rogues tend to be, cautious and maintianing a pace that doesn't run her into the backs, or the ambush of whatever might be in the sewers.<br/><br/>So, the pace has been set more or less by The Horny One and damned those humans and others who can't see in the dark like bats for slowing everything down. It seems almost like a certain hoofed character would just as soon loose the party all together and take care of things all by herself. Wren would be happy to go back and find a nice warm bed for the night...<br/><br/>I don't recall anyone saying that the creatures were human, only that they had human like mouths. At level 8, I'm not thinking anyone would jump to that conclusion after years of experience with perhaps dozens of creatures faught... so being a bit insulting isn't buying a lot of support when the shit hits.<br/><br/>These are only observasions about what's happening in character and at least what Wren is thinking about things.If something is bored enough to be playing with killing rats, they're probably just as bored to set some nasty tricks for the uncautious, but... *shrugs* better someone find out than Wren. ;)
