Deuce Traveler's Sewer Rats

[Fangor the Fierce]

"Yeah, I've got the front. Let's get moving."

 

[Deuce Traveler]

Needles takes point, followed by Hardnose, Fergus and Rork. As the Sewer Rats move forward the conditions of the piping become a patchwork of corrosively bad and just plain dangerous.

OOC: Everyone roll for a DC 15 Knowledge: Dungeoneering check. If you have Engineering, you may substitute that skill for the same check.

Rork looks at the piping as it closes in around him.

 

[Fangor the Fierce]

Needles tries to keep his eye on the shadows, making sure nothing was going to jump out at them. His keen eyes take in the area as if it was his home, as it has now become his second home. Hopefully it will not be his resting place... (please add +1 to the roll below, as my modifier is +2, not +1. Total is 21 as well )

Hardnose looks at the pipes suspiciously. they look to him like they could burst at any moment and cover the party in scalding water.

 

[Fenris]

Fergus keeps his eyes open and their surroundings.

OOC: Hope we all roll this well in the next combat!

 

[Caim]

OOC: AMEN! 2 20's, a 19, and an 18...

 

[Deuce Traveler]

From stories the four of you have heard, these sections are oft referred to as 'steam tunnels'. The corroded pipes have a tendency to fire off squirts of scalding hot liquid at random intervals. The bad news is that many an explorer has suffered horrific and sometimes fatal burns traversing such areas. The good news is that your Dungeoneering Knowledge ensures that each of you know to back away when hearing the tell-tale whistling of the pipes before one releases steam.

Satisfied with their knowledge, the party moves forward.

OOC: Each character will receive a +5 Reflex save when a nearby pipe is about to burst. Needles must make a DC Search check at this time. The good news is that his recent roll results in it only being a DC 12 difficulty.

 

[Fangor the Fierce]

Needles keeps his eyes on the pipes, listening to the signs that would warn him to get the others to get out of the way. His keen senses in times like this enable him to not have to take too much time off his movement to keep them moving along at a decent pace, as he moves along easily. (Needles has +10 to search, so he would simply take 10 if possible to move along. Otherwise, he will roll if needed. Here is his roll...)

 

[Caim]

Rork, like Needles, is cautious of the pipes. Watching each as they pass and not letting his guard down until everyone is past the are. "The things we do for a little bit of gold." He whispers under his breath.
