	Darklings in the sewer by Goto Author View Single Darklings are a kind of Halflings living in the sewer of medium to large cities. Even though they smell badly and are quite dirty, Darklings are friendly and clever. They try to limit the knowledge about their existence to only a small number of trustworthy persons, including player characters. Darklings trade in information. Money, weapons and magical items have no value for them. This is why they hide beneath the sewer grates, listening to all that is said in the city above. +XP	Encounter - City/ Ruin September 4, 2016	+XP

“ On route from Geli to Nekrass the characters meet a peasant boy on the road. He's wandering in the direction from which they've just come. If this seems a little bit incongruous, they may wish to ask him a few questions. He's perfectly willing to talk: he's called Lamish and he's run away because he knows he is the heir to the throne of Geli and his parents didn't believe him. How far is his home? About five weeks walk from here. How much has he eaten? Nothing. Has he drunk? Only from the filthy roadside ditches. In short, it's a wonder he is still alive. And yet he seems perfectly healthy. Is he a thief, waiting for travellers to trick? Is he lying because there's something more sinister under all of this? Is he telling the truth? And anyway, what should the characters do? Do you take him to Geli? Do you try to find his parents? Or leave him to make his own way?”

“ Game Cliche 1. All legends are 100% accurate. All rumors are entirely factual. All prophecies will come true, and not just someday but almost immediately.”

“ In a high canyon in the mountains, the players find a skeleton in a cage suspended from a pole. A few miles further, they find another, and a third contains a partially rotten corpse. The fourth contains a living man who looks as if he hasn't eaten in days. Turns out to be the local way of punishing criminals.”
