>>6020557The prices are outrageously high, all double or triple the market rates. Disliking being scammed, Tyrone decides to purchase only one scimitar, so that he has a melee weapon and to save up his ammo in the tunnels. The trader claps his hands, and one of the female slaves brings the weapon, bowing her head humbly to her master. Tyrone examines it closely. He’s no expert in traditional weapons, but he can tell it’s finely forged, sharp, and solid, with a sturdy hilt.

I’m going with the informational votes here >>6025961 to flesh up the update.At noon, before lunch, the team gathers for another meeting.
"I’ve found several entry points to the tunnels," Eun-Ae reports. "The most straightforward way in is through the metro station. I’ve identified several maintenance doors that likely lead into the Chabad-Lubavitch tunnels. The second entry point is through the sewers. Most street manholes open to smaller pipes, but I’ve identified two that lead to the interceptor lines, on New York Avenue and Nostrand Avenue. Obviously, we’d need to wait until night time for that option."
"Thank you, Eun-Ae," you say, pondering the information. You’re unsure if the sewers are the Chabad-Lubavitch tunnels proper, or if they are another system you’ll have to navigate to reach the tunnels. So far, all you have is speculative information, and fieldwork will be necessary to understand the underground situation better.
"Naomi, can you use the tarot cards to get more information about the tunnels?"
The sorceress’s face turns pale again. The last time she read the cards, she felt a dark presence watching her. Divination goes both ways: opening a channel to a target likewise allows the target to enter your own mind. Despite her hesitation, she agrees. It’s crucial to gather more information, and it would be foolish to enter a dangerous place unprepared. She begins her ritual and flips the first card.
“Eight of Wands, reversed. Don’t go for it: there are too many obstacles. In my last reading, the swords represented overwhelming fears [
>>6024071]. Here, the wands represent countless obstacles and dangers. There are so many obstacles that divination cannot identify them individually. This is as bad of a presage as it gets."
