Female, 390 year old, winged kobold. Wings, "PARKOUR!" Male, 23 year old, merman Brooklyn is the bad side of the cliff. The sahuagin live their lives in peace on thr shore and the reefs while the damned orcamen ran the mob in the red light cliffs on the edge of town. Gambling, prostitution, drugs, sentient meals: you name it, they had it. Bastards. What is a kobold to do except keep her head down and keep the reckless, starry eyed newbie alive?

Surrounded by assholes "Chief wanted me to find you" said Herman, the bright eyed rookie "He said you'd start breaking heads hoping for a clue" "whatever gave you that impression" you reply sitting atop a pile of broken bar furniture and associated detritus. loving Orca mob was supposed to keep their soldiers in check, just for Jimmy The Squid to go loud and shoot Bill in full view of everyone. Your point made at Jimmy's Tavern, you should pay Don Shellfish a visit anyway, see if he got any leads on a mob associate gone to the deep end. Tossing the car keys to Herman, you pause to pick up your pistol from where you dropped it (unloaded) and challenged everyone in earshot. It's not a hand cannon like some cops prefer but it always served you well enough when the time for fists had come and gone. "I'm sorry by the way" mutters the rookie "I've heard you and Bill Seamoss were friends" " Friends huh! Kid, I grew up in these streets, ain't almost nobody I don't know personally for miles around. " "but yes, Bill was a friend. I had to break the news to his wife." And after some more silent driving you add " Jimmy though, him I never liked. If I'd have found him today I'd have made him beg for a quick death." Herman visibly blanches a bit, refocusing on the road. Soon you've arrived at Don Shellfish's favourite restaurant.  "how do you want to play it sergeant?"Suggested options: .Treat the old man with respect .Demand answers! .Just go with the flow

Respect don't cost nothing more than breath, and we got bigger fish to fry. Don Shellfish's time will come, just like the rest of them. Make with the honeyed words and get the answers we need.

"Regina!" Cries out Don Shellfish as he motions you to sit and join him for a drink "How dreadful it is that we meet only in such a tragic occasion". You take a large gulp from your glass and regard the old man who has been a structural pillar of the community since you were a child, "Tragic is not how I would put it, but it's how Jimmy would once I catch up to him" The Don frowns a bit "You of course know that this isn't how we do things in this town, and I would never do anything to Bill like this. I know his grandfather." " Jimmy has been acting up recently, trying to act like a big man. But still I never thought in a million years he'd go off the deep end" "I know" you reply "And I also know that if you had Jimmy you'd have made an example out of him, something unmistakable" Don Shellfish drains his glass "There's an order to these streets and no over-confident little Ink dealer will disrupt it" he says in an even and steely tone. "Incidentally" you share "He didn't get called 'The Squid' for his Ink business, nor for his Ink habit and nor for any personality trait of his he may claim" pausing momentarily for effect you continue "we were kids playing the street one day and he suddenly started walking weird and headed straight home, turns out he shat himself." " when all his efforts to get rid of that name failed he started making up stories " The Don accepts your tale with no sign of amusement "I have no guesses as to why he shot Bill, I can't help you in any way and I feel that you will not be satisfied leaving the matter to me" "Then we are done here" you rise "give my regards to Vittorio, and keep in touch" Leaving the restaurant, Herman seems full to bursting with questions but you hold out a hand "We've got more places to hit and people too, no time for mincing words" "But Serge, you must have a hunch about whatever is going on" he begs in an almost childish way "you know what Jimmy wants" Holding Herman and looking to his eyes for effect you speak " Listen kid: you shoot a cop like that in this city, the only thing you're looking forward to is death. What Jimmy wants is to go out with a bang, and an Ink fiend with nothing to lose is the most dangerous and unpredictable beast to hunt" "you'd think a deranged individual high on Ink would be the easiest thing to follow right? Well Jimmy knows how to lay low and bully people to silence." For now we're going to (suggested options) A. Jimmy's childhood home B. His sister's nightclub C. Dink's autoshop, maybe he needed some new wheels D. Pay a visit to Bill's family E. Join a police raid on a local criminal enterprise Or something else?

Well that went nowhere, how about a game of Dungeon Urchins?  You can get the rules at the above link but I'll go over them as the game progresses. Right now I need names for our four urchins, maybe a personality trait too. Our team: (hit range on d6)(specials) Lantern-Girl: hits on 1-3, illumination for two squares around Shield-Boy: hits on 1-3, most health Slingshot-Boy: hits on 1-2, can hit any lit square Staff-Girl: hits on 1-4, double damage on 1

1st room up ahead: Every character have to choose a square on rows E or F to begin on. On B5 there's a pile of rubble which blocks movement, the Grue starts on B2

 Next room contains scabrats which have 3 actions and a stationary arrow trap which shoots once per turn up to two squares away. Plan accordingly! (both the scabrats and the trap have only 1HP each)  We're the rats! By popular demand fucked around with this message at 20:15 on Jun 5, 2022 |

I haven't read the rules but I noticed the site said to make our own, so Everyone: Turn sideways. We're paper thin and the enemies won't be able to see us.

Jonikka pass the lantern to Hiroshi who should slingshot it into the bundle of sticks to light a fire that will scare the Grue away!
