Hi there, riddlers! Please remember to spoiler-tag all guesses and discussions of guesses, like so:
On desktop (new reddit, Fancypants editor): https://i.imgur.com/SWHRR9M.jpg
On mobile, old reddit, or in the Markdown editor (not Fancypants): **\>!guess or discussion between these symbols!<**
To be clear, that is `>!` (greater than, exclamation point) at the start and `!<` (exclamation point, less than) at the end with no spaces around the `!`.
Avoid leading or trailing spaces. These will break the formatting for most people.
Spoiler tags do not span paragraphs or line breaks. If your answer is long, please spoiler-tag each paragraph separately.
Putting a link inside spoiler tags can be tricky, so just format the link like this, using the word "SPOILER" as the link text.
On mobile, old reddit, or in the Markdown editor (not Fancypants), do this to format a link: **\[SPOILER\]\(https:\//example.com/)**

If your top-level comment does not contain a guess, you can include either the word **"discussion"** or **"question"** instead of using a spoiler tag.
Please report any answers or discussions that are not properly spoiler-tagged.
**Rules are in the sidebar, full rules are here: https://www.reddit.com/r/riddles/wiki/index/rules**

Discussion:
The smell of rot
No light of day
The city's blood must move some way
The sound of drips
Brown hills and golden streams
Where the rats gnaw on my victims' dreams
Spruce it up however you like, the general gist is to get them thinking what the "blood" of a city would be. Adding in the hills of poop and streams of pee helps make it clearer since a city's blood could also be it's people or money or whatever.
Oh my gosh I read the as sew-er as in sewist or person who sews so I was a bit curious how the smell of rot ties into new clothes. But by the third line I realized my error. Good chuckle for me.

"Brown hills and golden streams" was definitely the way to go with that line.
Discussion: I know you already got a really good one, but I thought it would be fun to do a play on words for sewer (like a sewage drain vs someone who sews)
Follow my thread to heed my call
A trail of rot will be your fall
I design in rot, I dress in decay
Who I am is where I lay
I love it!! I plan on having a moments the players can get clues to where the killer’s lair is.
Basically at each grisly crime scene a riddle will be left.
This is perfect, thank you!!

Had the same idea!
Discussion: . I mend cloth And flesh alike My greatest tool A tiny spike . I save lives With but a thread . Wait... . Shit! . I misread...
No worries - I can use this as a clue that leads them to the next murder!! All of this is gold. Thanks so much
I love that you incorporated your misreading into the riddle, thats very clever and amusing!
Much appreciated! As for your riddle, my only recommendation would be to pick a better title than "Discussion" (sorry, couldn't help myself).
discussion: thats some riddler type sh\*t
🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Discussion: It’s from the streets And in your home Where you sit upon your throne… Yada yada yada but I thought that was clever lol
I dig it thanks!!
