Julieanne's brew
the half-orc leaves quickly, and without making a fuss, and though Shandara no doubt keeps an eye out for him, she won't see him again, at least not today.

The Escribano workshop
It's moderately busy at the curator of engineering's workshop. In addition to the usual activity a small group of artisans has gathered around a large table set just inside the entrance. On the table is a large and detailed map of the Stormdrains district , as well as a number of sheets of paper on which quills, seemingly moving of their own volition, are busy making a copy of that map.

In addition to showing the streets and buildings of the district, the map also shows groundwater tables and the locations of the districts wells. A plan for a sewage system has also been drawn up, transporting the sewage and wastewater from the entire district to a point in the river downstream of the city, where it'd be dumped into the water. The design sin't all that different from that present in other parts of the city, with a robust grid of underground pipes, and several waterpowered pumping stations located near the river to ensure the sewage keeps moving.

Bolten's practiced eye can easily make out the main issues, however. The Stormdrains district is far more densely populated than most other districts of the city, and the warren of buildings and narrow streets make it next to impossible to actually put the sewer system in the ground, at least without first having to demolish a lot of the buildings. The current situation in the district also means that some kind of purification treatment of the water needs to happen before anyone is comfortable with dumping the waste into the river, but though such systems do exist to help keep the run-off from the leatherworker's workshops manageable, an entirely new design would be needed to deal with the waste of an entire city district.

As the Dwarven artisan studies the map, one of the quills finishes making its copy, and one of the other artisan's steps forward, rolls up the copied map and takes it with him. The quill immediately starts working on a new copy as soon as the finished copy one has been removed.
