"Do you have magical grenades?"
Would you like to proceed towards the Sewer entrance?
 

"Fair point."

He starts walking towards the sewer entrance

With an apparent agreement achieved, Regin folds up the sewer map and begins a march towards the outlet pipe. “A consensus has been reached,” he says, to no one in particular. “It is time for our first excursion.”

Teshan nods. “Let’s get our other party member.”

“We’ve come to a bit of a plan, and would appreciate if you were to help us.”

“As of this moment,” Reginn answers, “our knowledge of the enemy’s number and position is minimal. To begin, we shall methodically run through the sewers, investigating any locations which might serve as a nest. Once we had identified those locations, we would exterminate them thereupon or retreat and recover, as necessary.”

He motions towards Teshan. “It has been suggested that we might later collapse such locations from above, if we find such a strategy to be worthwhile.”

“Carefully. Making note of what we find so that we may deliver a more decisive blow later,” Reginn answers.

“Bah!” Reginn grumbled. “Call it what you like. We have a job to do.”

With that, he begins the journey to the chosen sewer entrance, completely ignoring all other interruption.

Teshan follows, amused. “Are we ready? Now, if we get swarmed, I can perform a mass plague purge, but it will be tiring, and my bond with my patron is strained right now.” He looked down. “

“Noted,” Reginn replies. “Hopefully, such a measure should prove to not be necessary.”

They all arive at the entrance to the sewer. While you can't see very far into it, the smell is awful. A stream of- uh... sewer mass- pours from it. 

It smells god awful. 

Hilda wrinkles her nose. "I've always hated sewers." She pulls out some kind of face mask, spritz it with a spray, and slips it over her mouth and nose. "I'd suggest you plug your nose somehow."

Reginn maintains a certain level of decorum. “Perhaps we should discuss a marching order,” he suggests, pointing his staff towards Hilda and Galalth. “She should perhaps make up the front, for she might best represent physical ability amongst our number, which otherwise lacks in that department.”

Turning to the beastfolk, “You, or perhaps our plague-priest, should follow second. Whoever might be better at spotting and dealing with lone samples of the enemy swiftly. I would be third, with the remainder as our last.”

“Hhhmmm… usually, my magic would work with touch, meaning I wouldn’t be able to dispose of a single one quickly unless I were in front. Not saying I should be, just saying that I might not be a good candidate for second.”

He makes his way to the back of the group.

“If you believe you could potentially handle any physical threats for an extended period, then your going first could be suitable. Leading, or guarding the rear.”

Reginn shrugs, “Really, my estimations of your abilities are just that. You know yourselves better than I.” He points his staff towards Hilda. “Do you believe it is you who is best suited to act as the tip of the spear? Or would perhaps the priest do better?”

"My magic is primarily defensive, so would we like to be in a more defensive configuration, or an offensive one?"

“Defensive, then,” Reginn declares. “There shall be time enough for a planned offensive later, I’d hope.”

Hilda enters, her mana fluctuating as she prepares a spell.

As you enter the sewer, you realize how dark it is. You can see about 50 feet into the tunnel, beyond which an impenetrable (to human eyes, at least) wall of darkness lays.

Hilda gasps. "Did you see that?"

If you have night vision eyes or anything, now's the time to explain what and how. Otherwise, magic or fire.
