Editing Meamnar:Lost Marbles (section)

===Sewers===

If the party ventures into the sewers to investigate the scene of the crime, read or paraphrase the following.

'''''The slimy passage is typical for a main line of the city's sewers.  It is about five feet high, and just as wide.  The filth-covered walls are composed of stone bricks, and an archway is present every few feet to support the ceiling.  The water, if it could be called that, is only a couple of inches deep in the center and moves lazily down the passage.  The section is probably about thirty feet in length, separating two corners that are just tight enough to obscure what lies beyond them.'''''

'''''There are definite signs of activity here.  Where the water does not reach the walls, there are plenty of footprints pressed into the muck.  Toward one corner, scorch marks blacken the wall and have burned away most of the moss-like vegetation that covers it elsewhere.  A lone spear lays half-submerged in the stream.'''''

If they search the area, they may find (DC15) a symbol etched into one of the walls.  It is comparable to a backwards 'G', and was likely carved with a rock or other crude instrument.  The symbol is one used by the [[Meamnar:Balance|Balance]] and indicates that there is something of value in the direction indicated by the placement of the horizontal mark (in other words, if it was a normal 'G', the "something of value" would be in the opposite direction).

Should they head in the direction indicated by the symbol, the group will find (DC10), just around the corner, another symbol on another brick in the wall.  This one, apparently carved with the same tool, is a circle inside an ellipse, and would appear to be an eye.  The brick is loose, and removing it will reveal a cavity behind it.

In the cavity is an amulet, the Star of the Lost Princess.  The Star is made of gold, about three inches in diameter, with a pale sapphire set into the center.  It is on a delicate gold chain, about two feet in length.  Elven script is etched in a circle around it, reading, "May your daughter's star shine ever bright."

Marbles hid the amulet and placed a Magic Mouth upon it.  When triggered by the spoken word "Randall", it will say, "Order two bottles of Valeran blackberry wine at the Salty Parrot."
