The group, or what's left of it, makes their way back to the City Watch Headquarters.<br/><br/>Approximately 10pm, Eleasias 28, 1368 DR, The Year of the Banner<br/>Waterdeep City Watch Headquarters, Castle Ward, Waterdeep<br/><br/>The City Watch Headquarters is running on a skeleton crew this evening, though Captain Rulathon, Commander of the City Watch, and Thyriellentha, Mage Civilar, are present. When Captain Rulathon spots the group entering the building, he wastes no time and with a few quickly issued orders (though not "barked", he is civilized), he has them escorted to the meeting room.<br/><br/>For those who have never seen Rulathon before, he is a grey-haired man with wiry muscles. His face is beginning to show his age, but he has fiery blue eyes that are as keen and piercing as ever. Thyriellentha is a woman of about forty with shoulder-length brown hair, a slender figure, and is currently wearing an ornate purple robe and a gold necklace with several astrological symbol-themed charms on it.<br/><br/>A long, wooden table runs nearly the entire length of the room. Along either side is a row of chairs, and Rulathon and Thyriellentha take a seat on one side along with a scribe and a few of the Watch-Wizards and Watch Officers present. The walls are lined with maps of Waterdeep at various levels of detail for each ward, many of them bearing pins in certain places around the city, denoting something relevant to the City Watch but perhaps not to anyone else. Among these maps are also maps of the Sword Coast and the city sewer system, also at varying levels of detail.<br/><br/>Already seated along the opposite side are a few new adventurers.<br/><br/><strong>{Go ahead and make a post of your characters arriving at the HQ and taking a seat at the table, Glyphstone, Ghostwheel, and Paladin101. Also, EroticFantasyAuthor, you can do the same with Sim. ;) }</strong><br/><br/><strong>"We suspected that things may be more difficult and dangerous than we first imagined after finding the wights in the sewers, so we have hired on a few more adventurers to assist you. Please, take a seat. We can make introductions later, but for now,"</strong>Rulathon begins, looking at a scroll and having to hold it a certain distance from his face for his aging eyes to focus on it.<strong>"Wren, Serge, and Adrian, please brief the rest of us on just what happened from your points of view when the Copper Cup began burning a few hours ago."</strong>
