Tolvaj breaks the surface of the water and takes in a deep breath. Hoisting himself back up to the edge he walks over to Boide, "Yep, it's a valve."

"Your powers of deduction are amazing, drow," praises Boide, in a monotone voice.

"It would be nice to have dry feet for a change."
OOC:
Ohica is making an intuitive leap, that - if the water drains out the valve, the standing water in the hall would drain, too. But if that's not the case, she simultaneously pretty simple-minded...Mar 18, 2016 8:11 pm
Ignoring Boide's obvious fake praise, "It would be interesting to see what happens if the valve were to be open. I'm just not going to volunteer to stand next to it when the water drains."

"What if we were to tie a rope around your waist? I'm sure I'd be able to haul you back to us,"
Mar 18, 2016 8:14 pm
"I guess we ought to try," says Boide. "Since the drow volunteered the first time, I'll try it next." He begins to remove his scale mail and placing his weapons and pack on the ground, and prepares to dive in.

Taris gets his rope out to tie it around Boide's waist and will hold on to it while the dwarf goes down.
Mar 18, 2016 8:24 pm
Tolvaj will help hold onto the rope as well, "It would probably be more secure if he tied it around his neck..."
Mar 18, 2016 8:30 pm
"Ha!" chortles Boide. "Congratulations, elf! You finally said something witty! Needs more work in your delivery, though." The dwarf dives into the pool.

"Uh...wouldn't that choke him if you did that?" Ohica inquires of her buddy Tolvaj.
Mar 18, 2016 9:22 pm
Tiring of the back and forth Tolvaj simply responds "No, it would probably just damage the rope."
Mar 18, 2016 9:31 pm
"Oh. Hm." Ohica muses on this for a while. Then, peering down into the murk: "Yes...he is strong. Very strong... I still think you're a better swimmer, though. And you're both better swimmers than me."

Boide swims to the bottom of the pool, graps onto the valve, plants his feet on the bottom, and heaves with all of his strength...
OOC:
Boide, Athletics check please!Mar 18, 2016 11:13 pm
Boide briefly considers which way he's supposed to turn the valve, so he tries turning to the left.
Rolls
Athletics - (1d20+1)
(15) + 1 = 16

Boide pulls on the valve and finds that it is very stiff. He expects there is no way that he, alone, could make it budge...
Mar 18, 2016 11:20 pm
Boide returns to the surface, taking a breath and treading water. "It's stuck. I'll need help to budge it."

Eithne paces about. She understands what the pack is trying to do, but is unsure if there's anything she can do to help.
