Scene 2 - The Averndale Adventurers' Guild

The lights behind you grow small and dim as if crushed slowly but surely by the weight of the darkness, the stench, or else the closeness of the ceiling overhead and the channel standing still, with your own light sources making the sewage appear so still that is surface looked solid and able to bare weight. This is an oppressive atmosphere, overwhelming and yet monotonous. It is easy to get distracted as you continue forward, passing a marker on the wall that measures 1/8th mile.

[seriously though, how fast are you trying to move down here?]

Good news Sadur... Poking the sewage does not make the smell worse. It does however make your javelin gross as all hell and drips with rancid juices, as well as proving that the surface was not solid at all. The small ripples bob the filth as you prod the feculent soup.

Slowing to a steady march [full move?], the echoes finally settle, allowing the party to hear more than the fiction from their own gear. The steps certain do echo far. Continuing forward there is a slow curve in the tunnel, when as you are passing, very suddenly you find that you have reached a dam in the channel, and the reason the sewage does not flow down.

It is impossible to tell of what it was constructed, due to the dam leaking and overflowing, but it was constructed, not just something jammed or clogged by chance.

The spell creates a rumbling through the tunnel, the sound loud and beyond ignoring for any nearby, rippling the sewage causing some additional spillage. Afterward only the disparate echo, and then nothing.

Beyond the dam the pathway has been smeared with dried filth. While the channel below is mostly emptied, it is unfortunate that it does nothing to disperse the smell, as passed this point the sewage has seemed to spill onto the walkway. It does however show signs of passage and even tracks.

[Party's Perception check successful! So you see the tracks.]
