After hours of exhausting trekking, you and Scruff finally arrive at the base of Ballax.
As you approach, you spot the entrance to a dark, damp sewer guarded by the lifeless body of an orc dressed in its armor. The smell of death and decay fills your nostrils, making you gag.
Scruff sniffs the air and recoils, letting out a low growl. He backs away from the entrance, barking softly in protest.
You kneel and pet him, whispering reassuring words. “I know it’s not a pleasant smell, but we must find a way in.”
You pause, considering your options.
