I like the arrow idea.

Shall we enact that plan then?
- Felor uses Thaumaturgy to dim the torch as much as possible while still producing a useful amount of light (duration is 1 minute)
- Vad cast light on an arrow (and deactivating the light he already had)
- Leth fires lit arrow down side tunnel
- Felor uses Thaumaturgy to make as loud a "splash" noise as possible down the side tunnel (range is 30 yards)
- We all quietly hussle down the tunnel continuing southwards

Taking the arrow in his hand, Vad casts a light cantrip on the arrow head and hands it back to Leth. "Let's do this!"

Leth takes the arrow back and sets it on his bow, then fires it as far down the side tunnel as he can shoot it.
Does this require an attack roll?

No. The party executes its plan and continues southward.
Fifty feet ahead, you reach the next drainage tunnel. A foul, sickly stench seems to be coming from it, sharper than the sewer's normal rank effluvial musk.

What is the "drainage tunnel"? Another side tunnel like the one we were just at?
Sep 25, 2015 6:17 pm
It's a small tunnel like the one you originally entered through, leading outside.

Vad holds his arm up to his mouth and nose hoping that the loose fitting sleeve will help filter out the disgusting smell. He'll approach the side tunnel and look out to see if he can determine what might be out there.

Thoughts of the Devil of the Sewers immediately spring into the forefront of Leth's thoughts.
"I don't like this..." He mutters, but keeps moving ahead in which ever direction leads back towards the city gates.
So what's our objective here? Are we trying to just head south and come back up top inside the city and exit Sthombo through the gates, or are we hoping to find a tunnel that actually leads out of the city? Are there any such tunnels?
Also, are we heading south right now? If so we would probably just keep moving along this same tunnel until we can no longer do so.

There appears to be a large obstruction made of rotting meat of some sort clogging the drainage tunnel.

~ MEANWHILE ~
Mordred Kaliban is just sealing up the hidey-hole where he stored the crate of plum wine from Gurmar that he lifted from a poorly-attended merchant cart in the dark hours of the morning when a strange light and a loud splash catches his attention.

Felor tries to stifle a wretch. This is worse than that time with the elk carcass!
I think we should continue south if possible, avoiding stinky meat side-tunnel.
I'm hoping we can get as close to the south city wall as possible before we leave the tunnels, then leave the city via the gate. Maybe we can say we were hunting mosnters in the sewer tunnels?

Mordred grabs his weapons and heads slowly down the tunnel to investigate.
Can I make a perception check? I'm going to move down the tunnel as quickly as I can without making noise.

Mordred doesn't see evidence of light or the splash as he moves down the tunnel, but he stops near the intersection when he hears rapid footsteps coming from the left.
