[Praefectus Screptum]

"I see. If that's the case we will just use this tunnel to reach our destination-If it is connected to the other tunnels that is."
"If it isn't...Then Ace will lead us to the nearest exit and we will look for a way to get there without drawing too much attention. We need to maintain a low profile at least until we leave the slums."

[SeriousConcentrate]

"Understood. Let's speed up a little; that bandit might have more men to send after us, and I'm not looking forward to tunnel fighting."

[IamanElfCollaborator]

"R-right. Do we know anything about the other exits?"

[Praefectus Screptum]

"That's exactly the kind of information I am hoping to get from Ace, if this tunnel is connected to the others I can lead us to the library. If it isn't, he will have to show us the nearest exit."

[Sirus]

It took Jasmine some time to collect her wits (and her air), but eventually she recovered sufficiently to take some notice of what was going on.

: "So, a fountain huh? Can't remember any others around here, just the one Kizamo built after that big war some years back."

: "Anyway, who cares about that? Clearly we need to get this golem to a lab and run some tests. I'm no expert, but if Ace here is as advanced as he appears he could push the field of golem creation forward at least a decade! Maybe more! That's gotta be worth at least as much as some old treasure."

[Praefectus Screptum]

"I am no engineer, but I feel like there's probably a reason his 'master' didn't reveal his presence during all this time. And considering we are talking about an apparently sentient golem, I would rather not let our new possible recruit get torn apart and examined in a lab."

[IamanElfCollaborator]

"I-I'd like to know more about him too, because something feels....off, b-but....for now, l-let's just concentrate on getting out of here, okay?"

[Sirus]

: "Ah, I'm not talking about tearing it apart ^_(yet), just some non-invasive tests. Figure out what sort of metal it's made of, test its reflexes, that sort of thing. But, I guess that can probably wait until we don't have a bunch of angry people with sharp objects chasing us."

Rafiel finally recovered from his impression of a drowning man gasping for air as the group began to plan their next course of action. Jas suggesting carting of Ace to a lab gave Rafiel cause for concern. It struck him as a dangerous sort of mentality to have.

"Yeah... We should wait, probably even longer than that. And we should probably consider Ace's viewpoint, too."

[Praefectus Screptum]

"Priorities, priorities. We have a place to go, and even after we are done there, we will have to head out of this town. Even outside the  slums the hunt won't stop."

[Sirus]

Leaving town didn't exactly strike Jasmine as the best outcome of this little adventure.

: "I think it's a little too soon to say that for sure. We might find something in this fountain-lab to get everyone off our backs. Or the whole thing might still turn out to be bogus. Just saying."

[I_Like_Pi]

"We're after the treasure, aren't we? Unless the trail leads out of town, I don't think we're leaving Auroch anytime soon. If those thugs are gonna keep after us, well... We'll just have to put them in the ground."

[Twinwolf]

Amber hadn't been talking for a bit, just staring at the golem with wide eyes and a slightly open mouth. So cool... Mom would murder to see this, and study him (it?). And...

"Huh? Oh, I'm Amber. Nice to meet you Ace." she stared a bit more, then continued. "Yeah. Angry men would probably interfere with the tests. And the treasure grabbing."

She leaned in a little to Jasmine and whispered quietly, _{"If you manage to get him to agree to some tests I'm helping, alright?"}

[Praefectus Screptum]

"We will only stay for as long as it takes to get those leads. We didn't only mess with one gang, like I said, news spread fast."
"So unless you are inclined to stay in Auroch and fight a large number of gang members at the same time, we should just do what we have to and leave for a while. The guy you saw over there with a massive axe isn't the only one leading a gang, or capable of cutting someone in half."

[SeriousConcentrate]

William finally caught up the rest; he had paused, just in case.

"Nothing's following us. I believe we've gotten away with it... for now, anyway."
