Re: May 16th
Crap. And other various assorted unpleasantries of human waste. Rory gives Higaide a grimace and tries to avoid the muck coming through. They are are in an enclosed space where waste enters from lavatories and flows down to the sewers.
"Higaide...if you could choke me out and hold me up off the ground while I change, that would be great."

"Right..." - Higaide moves closer to the source of the noise.

- Is it big enough for a human to fit through? Guessing not, but just making sure before we unleash the Tusker.

The slot is definitely not large enough for a person. It might be large enough for a straw.

- OOC to party:
- Hm... Yeah, out of ideas. That said, I don't think we NEED the tusker, because there is an actual guard down here. So we might be missing something either so simple we didn't even consider, or so complex that we would never consider.

- I'm with you on saving Thog to the last extremity, Essoje. But waking the guard might mean trouble if he starts shouting. Also, we'd have to knock him back out at the end of it.

- I see no problem with going back down to have a chat with him. Higaide can wake him up, and I will choke him out if he is uncooperative, and we can repeat the process until he is cooperative or he has nothing to offer us. He's down here with absolutely no one else within hearing range than us. It's about to get just a tad smellier down here...
However, I don't see what else there is to consider. We are in the shit drain. This is where all the waste goes, its meant to be walled off out of sight and out of mind. There isn't going to be any way out of this room without turning back that doesn't involve punching through a wall.
I don't see how this is a factor. You and I are both unarmed specialists.K wrote:Also, we'd have to knock him back out at the end of it.

- Just saying doing that repeatedly to a person may be perhaps detrimental. But doing it just once more should be ok.

As you debate your options, you realize the rate of incoming water is a bit faster than you realized. In fact the room will probably be flooded, regardless of the hatch, within only a few more seconds, and will probably flood down into the sewers at an equally high rate.

- I just want to make sure i understand this. Water is flooding a room that was hitherto covered in dust. And will proceed to flood down, past the stairwell, past the gate and the guard, into the sewers we just came from. Am i getting it right?

"Damn, damn, damn," Rory cusses as he clambers into the hole they came out of, taking a gulp of air before descending.

Higaide does the same, except for the cursing.

Re: May 16th
Ensuring the hatch stays open, as the water is buffeting it all over the place, both people plunge down the spiral tube as piles of unpleasant water start shoving them further down, taking damage as they go (8 to Higaide, 6 to Rory, not sure where Javan is) and finally end up back at the grate. By this point the amount of water pushing through has increased, the current shoving both of them against the metal mesh as it flows through. Wherever the guard was, he's long gone at this point. The two Humans face the choice of clinging to the grate fence and hoping for the flow to die down while holding their breaths, or struggling to reach the opening through the gate and following the current.

- Javan was... you know, guarding the entrance of the stairs, and by extension the gate and the guard so uh... *shrugs*

Javan is slammed hard into the grate, right before Higaide and Rory come tumbling down the spiral watershunt and also slam into it.

Rory clings. They've gone this far and he's not about to give up. The guard is gone. Only one option now.

Javan is forced to cling as well for party solidarity, as he is emboldened by his lesser Human compatriots. As time continues to tick by, and the water slowly becomes cleaner and clearer, seconds tick into minutes and the party is on the very verge of passing out and drowning when the water current slows considerably, and a gap forms up above them where they can shove their heads up for air.

Re: May 16th
Rory wants to talk, so he pokes his head out as well.
"They flooded the sewers. No other options now," he says as he spews the water that got on his lips. "Water current is slowing. We should be able to get up there again."
