1.2 Descent to the Sewers

The door opens easily enough, and beyond is a narrow 5' wide passage illuminated by faintly glowing torches at 10' intervals. There is a slight downward slope to the passage and after about 30' Rufio finds himself standing at the top of a steep stairway. Peering downwards the stairway is not illuminated and plunges into the darkness.

I need your marching order. So far I have... Rufio, Szent...

Keeping track... Rufio, Szent, Weylan, Alanya...

Marching order: Rufio, Szent, Weylan, Alanya, Seneia, Feylinde, Elden

And so the intrepid heroes descend further into the depths below the City of Waterdeep. The stairs are steep and narrow, but it is easy to stabilize by holding the walls. It is a little like caving, with water on the walls slimy to the touch, and the steps damp and perilous. None-the-less, the orphans take care with this descent and encounter no issues.

At the bottom of the stairs there is no door, and there is a wide expanse beyond. Through torchlight Rufio's eyes adjust.

There is a large cavernous space that extends beyond your range of vision. Stalactites and stalagmites join to form picturesque columns and part of the floor is covered by a mirror like pool. The place is eerily quiet, with the occasional dripping sound breaking the silence. From where you stand you can only see part of the cavern.

Do whatever you do, but also roll initiative "just in case".
