Above, you notice a few gates leading right into the derrong town. Unfortunately, there seem to be quite a few of the little guys hanging around here. Plus, two of the doors are locked; you’ll probably need a key to get in those ones.
The gate marked “Travel” appears to be for derrongs entering and leaving the city, particularly for raiding teams. Two derrongs sit in front of the doorway chatting about rising rent prices and cleaning their derringers. They seem about to leave on some important errand.
Pin recognizes the two derrongs – he hates their guts! Those two always grab the best loot and bring in the most valuable captives. Pin and his gang work their asses off, but those guys put in zero effort and somehow get everything handed to ‘em. He’d sure like to see the pair get their comeuppance someday.
The gate marked “Oil” is open, but the whole procession of fluid tanks is closely monitored by derrong inspectors. You’re not sure if you could get through without some very convincing excuse, complicated by the fact that you’re twice as tall as anybody here. Hiding in an oil tank might work – if you could get your hands on one without being noticed.
The gate for “Steel” is under repair, with a neat line of scrap metal-filled minecarts waiting patiently. The track curves down near the ledge you’re standing on, so it’d be trivial to sneak into a cart, but there doesn’t seem to be much utility without a door for the cart to go through.
The last door is for miscellaneous imports. You see a couple of derrongs pushing a minecart full of coal down the rail. Pin doesn’t know them.
You notice that the travelling track has a side rail leading back to the front entrance. You could get your fishman friend to drive back around here, if you wanted to. He and his stuff are still idling at the front gate. For that matter, you could still go back and bribe the front gate guard with items.
What do?
