Alexi looks himself over, surprised that despite being swarmed none of the rats were able to penetrate his armor. A shiver goes down his spine and he flinches "Ugh...I hate rats!" He says "Filthy creatures" He kicks one of the rat carcasses aside in a display of disgust.
"After you then" He nods to Brennic and takes his place at the rear of the column again holding his torch up as he peers behind them making sure nothing is coming up on them from behind.
The Four of you head deeper into the sewers. Alexi, as soon as the dead rats get just beyond your vision, you could swear you saw a dark shape emerge from the water. You hear faint crunching sounds.
The silent river beside you starts to pick up speed as the tunnel slopes downwards. Before too long the tunnel opens out into a cavern below. Brennic just manages to halt himself(And the party) before stepping over the edge. The rush of sewer waste tumbling over the edge in a brown frothy waterfall. Those of you with dark vision can just make out the outline of what looks like a huge pile of trash, mostly rotting(A new wave of foul smelling air hit you when you came to the edge) at the far end of the cavern where the water flows under. It is hard to see much more, even with your torches.

Alexi's eyes strain to see into the darkness past the torchlight but he cannot discern any details of whatever it was that he thought he saw coming out of the water. "I thought I saw something come out of the water back there where we killed the rats but I'm not sure" He whispers to the other "Keep your eyes peeled and stay sharp! He looks back behind them more frequently now, concerned that something may be following them.
At the "Waterfall" Alexi approaches Brennic "I have some more torches in my pack" He says and turns his back to his comrade to allow him to access the torches tucked into the pack.

[Was hoping you guys might do something, but talk is good too. I shall add a little more hopefully to move this forward.]
Alexi, ignites another torch off of one already carried. Throwing the old one down into the cavern he narrowly misses what looks to be a small lake below the waterfall. The spluttering torch rolls to a stop and illuminates more. A sizable lake, directly below the waterfall feeds into a pile of refuse at the far end. On either side of the lake there are huts...or more accurately named hovels. About a dozen on each side of the lake. Shadowy figures roam the trash heap, paying little heed to a smaller one(Was playing near the waterfall and saw the torch fall) bringing them news of outsiders.
