Well, managed to find a place to grab a drink. The Cavernous Seashank seems alright, piss beer aside. Crowded though, had 5 randoms at my table when a kitten hops up and starts talking to anyone who'll listen. Something about bringing the rest of the blighters home before their owner cries.
Predictably Facefirst and Hyper Mcgee are out the door before the thing has finished talking.
Turns out it's from the cat cafe. The one that no longer has a front door.
A local turns up asking if it was us who did the damage to the cafe, seems to frequent the place a lot. Proceeds to try and list off the cat's names and personalities. I stop listening.
Quick look around and it's obvious that the fur balls have been bagged and dragged out of there.
Facefirst starts harassing the kitten for more info, it doesn't reply, you know cus it's a kitten.
I start to follow the trail while the randoms are still pissing about in the cafe. They are not good at following instruction.
Pipsqueak mentions smelling something weird. The trail has loads of rat footprints.
Surprise surprise it leads us to a sewer grate.
Wisp Features manages to pick the lock into the sewer, worth keeping an eye on her.
I take the lead since the dark doesn't bother me and I'm not a wimp. Big Boi at the back with his light up stick.
More fool him though, we get to a break in the tunnel. It leads 3 different ways, cus of course it couldn't be a straight forward journey.
Pipsqueak has been huffing the air so hard trying to follow that weird scent that all he can smell now is confusion and sewer.
I find the trail again easy enough, but then I see these weird blinking lights up ahead. Then they're gone. Ominous shit right? So I warn the rabble that something is up.
That's when Big Boi squeals, then I hear a whip crack from Pipsqueak. Turns out a rat with a glowing brain had landed on Big Boi's shoulder and taken a bite out of him. So Pipsqueak did his best cowboy impression and vine flicked that thing into oblivion.
Then Wisp Features sends off a burst of air back the way we came and everyone starts running past me? In the mess of bodies I turn to see Facefirst standing her ground, shield braced and planning on fighting the swath of sewer water filled with rats coming her way?
So yeah, we get swept up in the gross wave and dumped into a large room.
We're surrounded by swarms of these weird glowy brained vermin. Everyone takes a crack at them. There's this tentacle bastard on a plinth talking about brains and being hungry and I'm thinking it's finally play time!
"Game on" explodes those fuckers, well most of them anyway, even managed to catch Dr gross wriggly face.
Facefirst climbs up the plinth and delivers righteous sword to this tentacly entity.
Things she received for her efforts: lung full of poison, face full of cerebral cat attack, one teleported Dr squid lips.
So I'm seeing the cat abuser disappear. I'm pissed off. End up flambe'n the last of the rats off me.
From what I can tell, Facefirst is now trying to heal this glow brained cat. The cat goes limp and this glowing brain with legs pops off it's head and fucks off down a tunnel.
I give chase, because what the actual nine hells!?
Hyper Mcgee and Facefirst stick around to see if they can find anything on the plinth of interest.
Everyone else follows me, but we don't manage to find the weird brain creature. We just end up in the study of Dr squid lips and his little experiments.
The bag of cats is there. Between the rest of them they uncover notes and proceed to ransack the place.
I'm too angry at him getting away and just count the moggies instead, making sure we have them all.
Satisfied, we make our way back; carrying a couple of the fur balls each. When we get to the cafe, the owner is there and goes through a whirl of emotions at having her cats back but then finding out one of them is a bit limp. She takes it and runs to see if it can be saved. Turns out the answer is maybe.
So now I get to stay in the Thirsty Dragon for a week as "payment".
I don't hate the idea.

I wonder if she'll let me stay longer if I fix her door?
