So after we enter secret passage, we bump into check point and tell guards Mercy sent us. They take us to their HQ. On the way there, nature boy talk crap about them for some reason, making young kid guiding us really angry. Even though situation is volatile, others let him dig himself deeper into hole, so me try to ease tension. Also, big girl punch him in stomach to try and make him behave.
We eventually get to underground community led by elf chick named Jade. She around from invasion days, part of former thieves guild. Survivors trapped in city built themselves home here, and have been engaging in guerilla warfare ever since. Me ask her about invasion time and the tower, to see if she could shed light on how to get in. She did not, but she reveal it not just mages stuck in tower when it locked down, there was secret meeting with higher ups in city council going on at time.
They been doing good job hiding from monsters, with only the kobolds venturing down to the undercity. However, they say recently kobolds be smarter. Meepo reveals it because they now led by his father, who became a goldeneyes. His uncle used to be leader, but Meepo's father, a sorcerer, usurp power. Meepo not agree with his father's ways, so since it bad luck to kill first born, he exiled instead.
Anyways, the others talk with Jade, try to make plans to evacuate some of the non-fighters from the undercity, and perhaps establish relations. Also, dwarf guy not even prisoner! He just hanging underground helping people! Hmmph, he not even tell his brother he all right?!
Meanwhile, they tell us how kobolds gaining ground, but this gnome boomer came up with a plan. He wanna blow hole in cistern which according to engineering plans, would cause the river to flow towards kobolds and create barrier preventing them from accosting these people.
So we agree to help protect them while the gnomes set charges. We accompany them to place, which was being attacked by hundreds of kobolds. Devil girl toss fireballs to kill a lot of them, and us fighter types go to hold them off. Me not even get to hit anything tho by the time it come to retreat. The wall blows up and water flood area, washing away kobolds. Even though we successful, me sad me not get to kill anything.
