Chorus One

(Closed RP for now, but later on, once we have some stuff done, more peeps will be able to join).

Synopsis: Skaven invasion of a large town, starting with a stealth operation. Stormvermin, Wolf Rats, and Rat Ogres are hiding in force outside the city, waiting for an opening to be made from within.

Setting: The large Human town of Brunswedth(terrible name, I know), tall stone walls encircle the large hill the town was built upon. Two gates rest at either end, with the townhall nestled in roughly the center. Pine woods surround the area, blocking the nearby farmlands from immediate view.

Aside from the gates... only the sewers offer entrance, but only to a few at a time. Not enough for a large fighting force to mobilize in good time through. But... if the gates were to be flung open... the place could be stormed and overran.

Smoulder; Stormvermin
Clan Moulder Spy
Tunnels....

Smoulder crept through the tunnels leading the way, torch in one paw, steel blade in the other. His metal armor had been changed out for hardened leather, save for his helmet. He'd never allow himself to be parted from his beloved helmet, he had to kill someone for it after all.

Close by the Eshin Skaven he was tasked to work with was, the Skaven of that Clan were hard to detect, especially by smell Smoulder noted. He wasn't too keen on this mission, if he was to be completely honest with himself, seemed too risky on a personal level. Smoulder liked to be in the middle of a unit, but this was knife work to be done, which meant there weren't any meatshields between him and the enemy.

"We're getting close-near to the Human shit-filth water things, the smell is strong...." Smoulder said to the Eshin rat with him, the normal Skaven speech pattern apparent in his odd and somewhat redundant phrasing.

"You know the plan thing, yes?" Smoulder said, turning to look at the Eshin as the Moulder held his torch aloft.

Slicti, Gutter Runner
Clan Eshin Operative - sewers
Sneaky sneak.

Skulking just behind Smoulder would be one of the two Gutter Runners sent on this mission, the second covering the scouting of the side passages to see where they could enter through the sewers besides the obvious main entrance. The remaining Eshin Skaven would be simple Night Runners - but as all they had to do now was be quiet and follow along Slicti was confident they wouldn't blunder. The Gutter Runner armed with two crooked but sharp daggers, Eishen styled blades for finding the open spaces in the armor Humans so loved to wear, aswell as a thin but long vial on his back - a so far unshared item that many of the Night Runners were worried about.

In regards to the mission Slic was much more looking forward to it than his Moulder comrade - as this would be a step up from the previous missions he had been on and was just one more stepping stone on his path up the ranks. So long as no-one ruined. And if they did the concoction on his back would make sure that the one that did would most likely die with him. But it was meant for the Humans - but would work on everyone just the same.

Glancing over at Smoulder when he stopped the Gutter Runner flicked his tail to signal the Night Runners to stop, the Skavens snout pretty much the only thing seen besides his hood under the torch light.

"Strong smell yes, strong smell. But keep us hidden, yes." He replied as he squinted down the tunnel they were currently in before nodding. "See one entrance, of the many - send out the eyes yes?" He asked, directing it toward Smoulder before pointing at the torch. "Need to get rid of soon, Human see, Human swarm, we dead." He finished with, flicking his tail left and right as some of the Night Runners moved off into the side passages to do some more scouting. They would report back to the other Gutter Runner with their findings soon. Hopefully that some sewer exits would leave them near the gates. Then it was just a matter of choosing the right time to skitter scatter to get them open.

(Hope good, first time being the Skaven ratty ratties.)
