"Before you go lighting the sewers up, let's hammer this out a little further. First, rats and the other critters of the underthere fear fire. They will riot to escape it. We don't know how many sections of the sewer were exposed after the Wave. If I heard right, the Temple of Lathander is now a gaping maw into the underthere. We don't know how the rats, which Gurki and I stumbled across, clambered out. How many manholes are accessible to crafty wererats? How can we guarantee they will all be trapped between the fires and barriers? The last thing we want are those bucktooths mucking about the uphere. Second, The sewers run down and out the drain, in theory. Maybe the flood cleaned it out, but you can bet there was and possibly still is decades of shit built up. Which will stop the flow. Third, the fire will force everything to these exit points; I don't trust our ability to block everything. We all know the denizens of the deep are numerous, grotesque, and dangerous. I don't particularly want to know what is down there, especially at the same time, at the same place. If we trudge through, we can single out our targets. Better yet, if we blaze the most infected areas and sections which we know we can contain, let's do it. But then we hop down, trudge through the slime and muck, and scrap with the rest one on one.

Also, I would like to keep the silver weapons: a spear and a dagger. And, I will need a couple hours of preparation."
