Dr Chimpson pursues one of the Sewer Dwellers
For hundreds of years the residents of Chimpchester have heard stories about the ‘Sewer Dwellers’ living underneath the city. Some of the stories talk about an ‘underclass’ of chimps living underground in their own world, occasionally rising up on to the city streets in the dead of night to steal food, steal belongings and murder unsuspecting citizens. Some stories say that they’re not chimps but strange creatures who inhabit the sewers.
Few people have seen them, and those that have done only caught quick glimpses. Some residents claim to have seen sets of eyes watching them through the grids in the road, or claim to have heard whispering as they’ve passed by.
In 1880 Dr Chimpson, one of the citys most famous detectives, entered the sewers to hunt the dwellers down. He claimed to have seen one of the dwellers and pursued it on foot through the foul stench of sewage in the tunnels. After he went out of sight witnesses heard gunshots, but never saw Dr Chimpson ever again.
