"East toward the mountains, West toward the river." Davis took his map and presented it to Simmons. "Do you see anything that would be a likely destination from here."

The map, an old Sanborn Fire Insurance map from 1952 with detailed information on utility lines. Davis has made many marks on it. He has added dots to indicate every bomb shelter in the city. The bulk of tunnel lines are isolated to the Old Sacramento area.

"This is where I found indications of an underground party den." Davis pointed to a dot in Old Sacramento, west of their current location.

Rebecca scanned the tunnel ahead and thought. She may not need to smell, but after her initial smell she couldn't get the sensation out of her mind. Not to mention she knew what was in front of them. Shit. Piss. Fats and Grease. All the waste of the world circling down the drain of the city. And she had to think, she would be searching through the tunnels basically blind. Davis' map would only help so much, and without any gear to assist she would basically be looking for a needle in a shit-stack.

"Hmm. We can certainly search more down here, but I'm not sure if we'd actually find anything useful at this point." She turned to face Davis before continuing. "You marked the location of the den on your map. What if we meet back up tomorrow or the day after and see what we can find there. It may be more useful than wandering around here blind, especially with the sun quickly approaching." Unfortunately the decision wasn't completely up to her. She would still need his help and protection. Regardless the plan would also allow her to take the time to analyze the samples she had collected.

"As you wish." Davis was her protector. He would have vomited at the thought had he been alive. He was not her escort. "This network appears to be more than a two-person task. Really wish we had a Nos friend along with us. However, if it was I who dug this and used it as an entrance or escape route, surely I would have covered my tracks as well as laid a few traps to prevent pursuit. Clearly, the originators of the scene above, being capable of fire and fury, the likes of which neither of us is prepared to endure, would have taken precautions. Let's assume they are at least that intelligent."

Davis took a moment to look around the tunnel one more time.

"I don't want to leave any stone unturned, but your proposal to meet in Ol Sac and look into that den I found is agreeable. It looked like they may return. Not sure when. We could ask around and find out when the next shindig will be."

"Your notion of traps is very valid and an important concern. Though I think my biggest current concern is that there are any number of entrance and exit ways into and out of these sewers, so we'd be looking for traps coming from a large number of directions. We could also return at a later date with some additional equipment, possibly more members of are group to do a more thorough search."

She turned to walk back towards the entrance before stopping and looking back at Davis. "I'm glad you find it agreeable. If we head there in two or three days I can analyze the samples I've already taken in the mean time."

Depending on the results of that rolls I am ready to end the scene and pick up a couple days later near a sewer entrance much closer to the party den.

Messed up the Dice Roll, it failed. We can leave.

Their rancid search uncovers nothing of value. Thanks heavens for John Davis, who manages to bring them back into ruined junk yard.

The summer night is drawing to its end. The Kindred flee to their havens before the coming dawn.
