[QUOTE="Zimri, post: 4695441, member: 15991"] Yes but because of the time spent in describing the pipe there was certainly a "reasonable" expectation that it would be noticed. If it is reasonable that it would be noticed then it is not unreasonable to expect some action to be taken regarding it otherwise why have it noticed ? I also find it verisimilitude breaking that such a regular dramatic expulsion of water is not talked about by the locals ie " Wow you should see how the moonlights sparkles through the ...." or " It's pretty alright pretty noisy and stinky" I only ever recall drainage/sewage/aqueduct/plumbing at all being mentioned in gaming as means of ingress or egress . This drain didn't need to be climbable to serve the purposes you've mentioned it serving. to the people that mentioned "paintings" et al as being redundant if you follow this path to you I say a painting won't cause a party to split up, doesn't take 3 hours of game time to examine, etcetera. If there is a garden filled with gazebos not each one nor likely any need sat in or burned down, in a forest you don't climb every tree. But put one gazebo or one tree someplace where attention is drawn to it that can't be explained away (as was the case with this drain) then as I stated in the beginning it is not unreasonable to expect an examination to occur. sorry editted to add as an aside it's "intents and purposes" and free parking is only supposed to be a free resting spot there is no "pot" you get for landing there.
