Combat Encounters

Opponent	Encounter Text	Notes
	As you wander the sewers, you hear a voice shout "You!" Whipping around, you see a furious, almost incoherent Fang tough charging at you.
x2	Wandering through the depths of the sewers you hear a shout behind you. "You! This is all your fault!" You turn to discover two Fang enforcers with looks of absolute fury etched on their faces.	If you hadn't killed everyone in the Sewer Hideout
	A terrible shriek echoes through the tunnels, followed by a mass of rats. They rush towards you, focused as though they're possessed of one will.
	You're captivated for a moment by the beautiful movements of the sewage in one of the larger tunnels. It takes you several seconds to realize the movements are actually a massive serpent rising up through the sewage.
	As you make your way through the tunnels, you hear a squeaking from above you. You risk a glance up and see a massive swarm of bats bearing down on you. A moment later, you're surrounded by a cocoon of beady eyes and beating wings.
	A guttural howl echoes through the sewers. As you try to find its source, an emaciated figure drops from the ceiling, baring its teeth.	Only when Problems on the Docks is not completed
	As you pass a particularly deep stream of sewage, you feel a vice-like pain clamping down on your ankle. You look down to see a corpse, its mouth stitched shut, pulling itself out of the sewage by your ankle.	Only with Servant of the Mask
