For once, it seemed the weather was clear for the spectacle that was about to unfold. Clear skies letting sunlight shine down on a group of twenty some guards standing outside of the entrance of the sewers... Equiped with a menagirie of weapons, including tower shields, muskets, and even zweihanders! Infront of the group of guards, there is Captain Lunaxia standing with her repeating crossbow at the ready and helmet pulled down to just over her eyes. Her gaze stuck upon the entrance to the sewers as she stares into the darkness of the system with a morbid gaze.

Rixo quickly arrives on the scene, hammer slung over her back. Expecting the corridors to be small, she had opted to rely on her spear and kite shield today. "Finally. We can get a chance to end this. Are there guards watching the exits streetside, so they cannot escape?" She asks of the new captain, enjoying the brief sun exposure on her... Armour... While she could, before they had to head in.

Selena makes her way to the sewer's entrance, the wolfess looking much the same as any other day in comparison to Rixo, though really - being a mage it's hard to tell if she's brought any different spells. "Rixo, Lunaxia." She greets, stretching out a little before shrugging. "I'd like to hope so. Otherwise storming the sewer would be pointless. What are we expecting, Lunaxia?"

Cedric makes his way to the scene, gun and dagger at the ready under his cloak, and several new spells prepared for the apprehension of the criminals this time. He, too, had been looking forward for some resolution. Murder is bad enough on it's own, but having seen someone mourn their close family in such a visceral way for the first time in his life, it was inexcusable to this badger! Hell, some beings had parents that didn't even want them! It was outrageous.

At any rate, Cedric comes up to Lunaxia, the guards, Rixo and Selena with a wave and a grim expression. "It's about that time, huh? Good to see you all." he greets the assembled, bowing his head politely. "Just let me know what I can do, and I'll do my best." he swears solemnly, clutching a hand to his chest in salute.

Asher patters onto the scene, apparently hale and healthy once more. The pudgy little dog looks a little less cuddly than usual today, his normal casual clothes swapped out for dangerous looking combat leathers (that conveniently suck in his tummy) and several carefully placed knives and firearms. The round, smiling face sticking out of it all seems completely out of place. "Asher, reporting for duty, Captain Lunaxia!" he says cheerily, his tone belaying his worry.

Issi is there, not quite entirely by accident. But she couldn't stay away from a gathering like this. She walks up to the group wordlessly. Not with weapons drawn, not yet. She was on their side. She hmms... Sewers. Lovely. Still she's not deterred. Seems they could use all the help they can get.

Today, Brutus appears stripped of much of his finery. No jewels, no expensive silks --simply some plain armor and ill-fitting work clothes. He looks somewhat ridiculous, but his mein was a steely snarl, forged by hate and fueled by rage--he certainly didn't seem in the mood to countenance any jokes or interference. He seems to only be armed by his nasty mood, a retinue of Creator machines, a pistol, and an old, dull rusty dagger that couldn't possibly stand up to the cheapest armor. Now why would he bring that?

Lunaxia turns her attention to the group as they begin to assemble, her gaze finally leaving the dim confines of the sewers as she clears her throat. "I have taken the precautions... If they truly are down here, they will not escape this day." The mouse girl turning to make her way to the side some as she stands on a nearby crate, the grouping of guards surrounding the freeswords and their captain as they look up to her when she speaks.

"I am not Titanus... If I had my way, I would never replace him. But he was stolen from us, along with many others, by the hands of mad men... Mad men whom seek to bathe the streets in the blood of our friends and family." A long pause is givin by her as she glances to the entrance once more before looking back to the group. "... But I will -not- allow them to do this! No more is what the crowds chanted when they lynched and beat anyone slightly fighting the definition of the killers, and this day that is what we shall cry when we lead them from their cells, and down into the executioners axe! No more will we live in fear of the deaths of those we love, no more shall we be forced to stare upon their grizzly work while they gloat and laugh from the shadows!"

The Captain's hand lashes out to point to the entrance of the sewers as she snarls slightly, ears flicking back. "They hide amongst the refuse of our city, they are comfortable in there believing it's expanse will keep them safe! They have laid traps for us, they have prepared to try and kill us all.

She would make sure they died down there, denied any trial or even burial, save whatever their bodies landed in.

Selena whistles quietly as the other beings cluster around the entrance of the sewers, nodding in recognition to the beings she's familiar with. "Brutus, I haven't seen you for a long while." she notes, whistling quietly. "Cedric, Asher. I'm glad to see you're both here after last time."
