"So, where have the others headed off to?" Catryn asked.

"Through the Old Ways in the sewers behind the Temple", Torbjorn replied. "At the first sight of trouble, Tyrus took the horses and made for the exit in time. He will be waiting for us in the outskirts of the Great Forest."

Catryn groaned and wrinkled her nose. She wasn't all too keen on the idea of making an escape through the sewers... again. It smelled bad, and there were all matters of strange creatures lurking about beneath their feet.

"I think there is another entrance around here somewhere", the Nord stated as he grabbed her and made a turn into an alleyway, keeping them unseen from the general populace. "Found it", he mumbled.

He lodged the blade of his axe into the grate and heaved it up with sheer strength. "You go first, I will make sure that no one gets the funny idea of following us."

Once down in the darkness, Catryn had to struggle to make her eyes adjust to the vague light in the tunnels. Some rats squeaked and scuttled past her feet as she landed on the soft waste that was the result of the cities inhabitants.

She whimpered. "Bloody hell... my boots... They will stink for days now."

"Be glad it's your boots stinking and not your skewered corpse", Torbjorn said as he fled into the depths as well, lowering the grate behind them by resting its weight on the head of his axe. "Go forward and then to the left. That will take us as close to the exit as possible, underneath the bridge itself."

Catryn mumbled something incoherent about stench and death, making her way through the sludge whilst keeping her eyes peeled and her hearing sharp. Above her head she could still hear the unjustly crimes committed against the commoners. She didn't know what had caused it, nor did she care. The only thing she cared about was for it to cease.

After wandering about for a short while, following Torbjorn's directions, she finally saw the light at the end of the tunnel.
