Geez, talk about fan service! Like someone said Ralph, don't burn yourself out! (burning artist really smells awful)
Either Rac-Conan use some really good pain killers in their hospitals, or Quentyn has the worst luck in wake up calls!
Why couldn't he, just once, wake up to that pretty bar maid looking down at him! (with his luck, she'd wake him up by pouring another pitcher of ale on him )As for the open man, er, Rac-Conan hole, don't forget Quentyns trusty native guide and chewy alarm clock. Squidge is a seasoned sewer spelunker. He knew where an easily removed manhole was located, and may have guided Quentyn to his egress by the feel of moving air.
The surface rescuers were guided to the location by Quentyns sword, and had probably removed the cover themselves.
QED.
He could have just called up for help, no doubt, after hearing the voices talking about him...Of course, getting to repeat the quip "Eight feet tall and farting thunderbolts" was worth something, but wouldn't it have been a crying shame if he'd slipped off before they could catch him and busted his skull?
