[QUOTE="ichabod, post: 9091621, member: 1257"] Here's level four: [ATTACH type="full"]292235[/ATTACH] Environmental effect: Everyone becomes more watery, gaining resistance to piercing damage, the ability to move through occupied squares with no penalty (even with enemies), and no penalties for squeezing. The general idea of this level is a bunch of circular pools of different depths. The hallways are damp and have puddles in them, but are not underwater. Each room specifies the depth of the water, but the water level is always the same as the level of the floors in the hallways. [B][B]Room I: What a Shock[/B][/B] If characters come into this room from the waterfall from Level 3, Room XIII, they take no damage because the room is flooded to a depth of 10 feet. Above the level of the water are four doors. If the door knobs on these doors are touched, the character doing so takes 1d6 electrical damage, as does anyone touching them, as does anyone in the water if the toucher or anyone touching him is in the water. The walls are smooth and are DC 20 to climb with a climbing kit, and impossible to climb without one. [B][B]Room II: Splish Splat[/B][/B] There is a shaft here leading up to the hatch in level 3 room XVIII. If someone falls from above without holding the hatch open, they take 3d6 falling damage.
