Scene 2 - The Averndale Adventurers' Guild

The dam shifts under the force applied, slopping out a little of the fetid water and dropping small pieces as Sadur works, yet as of the arrival of a second wave, nothing significant has broken free. As he pulls Sadur sees the pieces giving to the pressure, but they are well anchored. Thinking strictly as a matter of force, the half-orcs build was by itself less effective than the type of action a concerted effort could manage. A great splintering sound near the top weakens a matting of debris and now, as Sadur pulls, a spillage opens as the board bends. Sadur's call back to the party not yet responded, the echoing of noises, the scuffling, and a myriad of harsh and horrible screeches, the rest of the party could be forgiven for not hearing him. A blast of fire misses its target, being too close to his companions must have skewed Jasper's aid but, with the deft maneuvering of their rapiers Leon and Xarakas, the two rats are dispatched before managing any attack. The mangy beasts fall back into the muck.

Just then, peaking out from the Kobold hole, the scaley face of these dragon-descended assailants. They have understood what the party was doing and with spite, the first provides a covering shot at Leon while the second targets Sadur in order to stop the party's progress, before taking cover again.

Spitting curses, the Koblods fall asleep, holed up in the tunnel, their bodies blocking the passage.

Xarakas calls for rope, but there would not be Time. With a mighty pull, Sadur yanks out the main blockage of the damn, a large board that was wedged longways through the channel and anchored. When it breaks the weight and movement of trapped sewage was soon unleashed. The flood of sewage was coming. While everyone else was safe on the walkway, Leon was down in the channel and he will need to act fast or get caught in the rushing 'liquid'.

Hearing and moving it time, Leon manages to get back to the walkway before ruining his boots. With a deafening rush, the party is forced to take cover and care as the slop tumbles free down the line, and quickly down into the Kobolds hole, being the lowest point. The party has beaten back the monsters for now and their hole is drowned in waste and clogged with rubble. It churs up a terrible new bouquet of odors.

The smell is just too powerful. Only Jasper may avoid wretching aloud. You are all splashed as the channel moves free from the overflow.
