Jordan nods. "Yeah, I saw that! About half of them got out okay. They followed Qui down the tunnel." She jumps down from the platform and joins you.
The sewer tunnel behind the platform has been partly demolished, its walls picked and hacked at, chunks of stone and masonry lining the floor on either side. At first you think it must have been the side effect of some epic battle that raged through the corridor, but then you notice the drills and construction tools. "What were they digging for here?"
"Something they thought was walled-over?" Jordan offers. "Don't know. Looks like they didn't find anything, though."
The passage cuts to the right, revealing a splintered wooden door smashed open on the far wall. Inside, Qui paces furiously as he argues with Lucca. One of Bouchard's retinue of Sewer Rats stands quietly in the corner, clearly uncomfortable and feeling out of place without her coterie. When the Sheriff notices you approaching, he sighs in relief, his back straightening as if a heavy weight has been removed from his shoulders. You're pleased to see that many of the mortals have survived, in large part thanks to your efforts to free them from the Warlock's sorcery.
