SEND IN THE CLONES

Moving upstream, the tunnel begins to turn and then forks into two directions. To the left you can see a bridge crossing over the river and connecting the two walkways. To the right you can hear a slugey waterfall in the distance.

Up on the walkway, Will-O-WSP sees three fangy faces

Will, two of the faces scurry off at the sound of your voice the first thing you notice about the third fangy faced creature is that it is attached to a filthy little body. The second thing you notice is that it's rushing you.

Cart and Brett, as you approach the bridge, the sludge becomes deeper now coming up almost to your chest. Below the bridge is a vertical grated fence that extends from beneath the sludge to the bottom of the walkway.

Will misses with his first shot giving the creature a chance to bite.

The creature snaps at Will's ankle causing a tear to his jumpsuit and a surface scratch on Will's leg.

Will does connect with the second shot leaving only a smoldering carcass before him.

If there is a lock, Cart can't find it. He attempts to climb the fence, but the particular bar he grabs is extremely Rusty and breaks in his hand. Cart may add 6 inch Rusty iron bar to his inventory if he wishes to keep it.

Brett notices he's got one of those beady-eyed fangy things swimming towards him. He has time to do one more action before it reaches him.Will can easily catch up to Brett and Cart leaving the other two remaining troubleshooters behind.

Two wild laser blasts go soaring past Cart as he easily pulls two more bars away at the grate.

Cart estimates that he could probably create a large enough hole by strategically removing three more bars, two are at about chest height, but he would have to be completely submerged to get to the third one.

The creature paddles over and attempts to bite Cart

---but gets a mouthful of sewer water instead.

Cart let fly with his neurowhip, keeping the creature at bay, hopefully until the creature has been chased away for good, so that he could resume working on the bars. He planned to get to the other side, but didn't fancy being attacked in the rear.
