With the Skaven leader Lanni captured alive and more than three hundred Skaven slaughtered, the brief battle—or rather, one-sided massacre—in Calimport's sewers finally came to a complete end.
Aipuke personally escorted the prisoners back to his lair, intending to have his chief interrogator pry open their mouths.
Before leaving, he not only promised to soon deliver a gift that would satisfy Raymond, but also sent some of his men to deal with the corpses.
Clearly, the leader of the Thieves' Guild did not want too many people to know what had happened in the sewers at midnight.
