Hearing your words had Shortfang chime in. "Like Grey Scale traitor. Kalmeet promise Grey Scale power, and they betray Sewer Dragons. Maybe cult bad guys promise crazy noble power, and he betray everyone." Pylia nods at Shortfang and your suggestion. "Yeah... Yeah I can see that happening. It'll make sense too. Elysium wants to sow destruction everywhere in Gransys, so what they did in the sewers with the trogs and kobolds was just one step. If they got to Erendal, he might've promised him power if he would stir up trouble in the market for... For some reason." The priestess continued to mull over the possibilities in her head, but eventually had to give up. "I can understand what would've happened if the troglodytes overrun the sewers and eventually the surface, but I can't imagine what Erendal gains from vandalizing shops. I guess he's trying to put them out of business and buy them up, maybe, but that seems so... Small scale." It was here that Buddy wrote his suggestion. [b][i]"Erendal and his brutes could have been a distraction for the guards. Remember that Shor and his team are short staffed and there has been changes in the guard patrol. The sewers are nearby as well. With so few guards busy looking into petty vandalism during an important festival, there would be no guards available to have known about the trogs."[/i][/b]

Seeing this made Shortfang nods as well. "Yeah, even Shortfang don't know until Shortfang go back home and find dead kobolds and trogs. But... Hmm..." Shortfang rubbed his chin. "So... What Shor and them do in sewer? It not trogs, Sewer Dragons got them. Maybe cult?" Pylia snapped her fingers and looked to you. "Sylvia... That note from the corpse, from the Jabani trogs. What if Shor, Cera, and Kor were on their trail? Yorik said we shouldn't go to the sewers, but we could still investigate the water mill."
