Hearing the cry of the culprit, Axia and John ran over to see the manhole opening, John cursed. He could give chase, but if the man had escaped into the sewers, he probably knew them well enough not to get lost. Plus, he couldn't rely on Axia being able to smell him, especially in that filth. 

“Come on, Axia, we're done here. It would be foolish to follow him down there, we'd be lost in seconds.” He turned around and walked out, ignoring the Fossil Priest as he left, and decided to head to a local bar in town. After a moment of thought, he turned around to address the priest.

“Hey Fossil Guy, does your yelix or wharever fossil god disaprove if his priest sharing a drink with a mentally unstable lunatic and his equally unstable Haxorus companion?”

Shade obliged wuth the call of the solider, moving in close enough that he could be seen. His master, unfortunately, had taken this as an opportunity to fall asleep, thus leaving Shade to deal with everything. Luckly Shade, like most legendaries, could communicate with humans, if not with actual words, than with telepathy. So he would be able to communicate if the need arose.
