The gatehouse stands like a tombstone guarding the entrance to the port and the city guard will think nothing of throwing an unwary traveller into the dungeons for their mere amusement.

But there is more than one way into the City of Thieves, there, in the port wall, a sewer outlet. It may be unguarded, but you can almost guarantee it won’t be pleasant.

I have been making pretty good progress with the buildings for this project mainly because of two things. Firstly, the buildings paint up easily and are pretty rough at the moment and secondly, I have been concentrating more on this project than my Gaslight project.

I want to get the bulk of the ‘building’ done before I knuckle down and start adding finer details and street dressings. I think the smaller details will take more time ultimately because I can’t just smash it with a rough dry brush.

The buildings on the bridge don’t have any stonework on them at all and I think this makes a nice change to all the other buildings so far.
