"This isn't<em><strong>dinner</strong></em>, ducklings," she mutters, irritation  bringing a touch more Thayan accent to her voice. "This is<em><strong>funtime</strong></em>. Something was just snackin' while it was playin'."<br/><br/>The tiefling nudges one torn-across rat and another flattened one with her pitch-booted hoof. "Killin' time. And things that made noises when they died. If it was huntin' for<em><strong>food</strong></em>and desperate enough to eat rat, it would've been more careful to eat all it could. Take juicy bits with it." Her whiplike tail lashes and she scowls at Serge and Wren's assumption, staring down the tunnel. "Maybe it had a human<strong><em>mouth</em></strong>. That's not the same thing." The tiefling's sharp teeth glitter in the colored light of the party's weapons, but there's no heart in her smile. No, it's not a smile. Ghaazala is just illustrating her point -- any number of things have a mouth fairly like a human.<br/><br/>Without actually being one.<br/><br/>"Lots of things live down here. I wouldn't jump to conclusions. Anythin' that would spend its time torturin'<strong><em>these</em></strong>little critters probably wouldn' waste time on them if it had somethin' larger that would beg and plead when it was being bled."<br/><br/>She shakes her head at the other Thayan. "Save your incantations,<strong><em>mage</em></strong>." That tone of voice to a red-robe would have her put in irons anywhere within the borders of Thay. "Use them when we know<em>exactly</em>what we need. As for it being<em><strong>human</strong></em>...Could be a bored, mad fool. Or could be any number of things swum up from the Underdark that look human enough to wear the same clothin'. Maybe human enough to walk past on the street without notice...And maybe not. These sewers link straight into what's below us, and<em><strong>that</strong></em>goes deep enough to give an<em>Urdunnir</em>chills."<br/><br/>Ghaazala turns back down the sewer tunnel, putting several swift paces between herself and the lights (keeping just enough ahead of Wren that the younger woman's glowing blade is not in her field of view) and moving with just as much care as before...Chains jingling and clinking, the links of the heavy, barbed and hooked one whirring softly as the tiefling spins a three-foot length of it in a humming vertical circle beside her.<br/><br/>She looks not a bit like someone trying to sneak and more like someone looking for trouble.<br/><br/>Sneaking is hard when you're backlit by glowing and flaming weapons and magical lights.
