Metropolis (The World in Waiting) - Chapter One

OOC:
[sblock]Maybe I didn't explain it well enough. The creature came up through the filth in the floor, probably swimming up from the shaft in the ground in which the river of filth is coming from.

OOC: [sblock]So there is no coridor of any kind to continue down? I got the impression this was not an enclosed room, but if I'm wrong, then we're likely done exploring.[/sblock]

OOC:
[sblock]There are other tunnels that lead off (three in fact) but the creature you spoke of arose from the centre of the room. If you could find a way to descend against the slow current into the filth, you could backtrack it.

Taran and Ghost set off to backtrack from where the filth is flowing from, Twitchy leading the way.

OOC:
[sblock] Ok then, I'll see if I can clear this up....
The stream from the upper level drops down the shaft to join up with the river of filth below. The river wells up from a shaft in the chamber in which you are standing (beginning in this chamber) then flows downstream back the way you came to the 'entrance point'.
That help?

"Woah woah woah, 'ang on a sec Baaky. Didncha just say they were plague bearers? We should close this place up and burn it down aroun' their ears. At the least there aint no way I'm goin' anywhere near 'em!"

"I don't know what the hell it is, not any plague I've seen. All we know, we coulda caught it by just bein' near them, so you might as well board everyone and yourself in here and set fire to it from the inside if you're that worried. Either that or we could avoid people and take 'em to a temple. We can get ourselves checked while we're there," Ba'aktar reasoned, but his patience was wearing thin, "You wanna take your chances, fine, bgger off. I don't wanna end up like that."

Ba'aktar waved Hentre's unconcious form in the direction of the dead child.

Um, sorta. So, we're below where the filth drops down from the well above, and it then flows down to where we came in?

I just want to look down some of the passages around here.

OOC: OK, we can explore down stream a bit then? (BTW I think I fixed the alignment errors with the code block.

[sblock]OOC: Actually the 'in' shaft is halfway up the river, thanks for that, I'm kinda pressed for time and didn't see the post I...posted... Yup, exploring up river it is.....perhaps I'll wait till after work, that way I've got more time...
