Sewer Entry~
You are in a pool of murky, standing water at the base of a rusty ladder
that leads up to a heavy grate. The still air is rank with the foul
stenches of humanoid waste and things long dead, making each breath a
caustic hazard. The putrescent water of the pool seems deeper in the
middle, with shallow ledges along the sides which can be followed east.
~
-done (T)
[Starshine] acode open/close grate - you give a big push or something (grate is heavy?). could be race dependent.
[Starshine] create acode drink water/pool/sewage - the water is much too dirty to drink - and refer to this acode from all the sewer-water rooms.
[Starshine] add stench message to acode 1, please.
[Talis] The sound will carry even to areas where the stench is cleared.

Sewer Intersection~
The filthy ledges along the walls are an inch or two above the mire of
the sewage water. A large pool of dark, foreboding liquid giving off a
nauseating stench has collected in the center. Passageways lead off into
dank-smelling darkness in the four cardinal directions. You could
carefully tread through the sludge along the ledges to continue onward.

[Calliope] I would like to see an action here for something, rolling or
splashing in the sludge. It wouldn't have to be named nor would anything
have to happen, just something for atmosphere. 'Suddenly in the sewer's

something.

End Chamber~
The sewer, though comparatively drier here than in other regions, still
manages to give off a rather noxious odor. The usual canal of water has
dwindled to little more than a small stream that grows as it heads south.
With the decreased volume of water you can now tell that the central
portion of the canals are about three feet deep, arcing upward to a mere
one foot deep where the ledges end. To the north the tunnel dead-ends in
a wall from which several pipes protrude.

The vile water is thick with the rot of sewage and you are unable to see

Sewer Passage~
The dirty side ledges are relatively dry with only the occasional bit of
detritus or refuse lying in wait for you to slip on it. A pipe on the
north wall dumps a steady stream of steaming sewage into the murky canal.
Opposite it, jutting out of the south wall, another pipe is clogged with
vile-smelling sewage and only rarely drops a semi-solid chunk into the
waters below.

Small Storage Chamber~
This appears to be a narrow storage chamber of some sort. Ancient, rusty
hooks set into the stone walls provided a place for brooms and traps to
be hung when not in use. Though the stench of nearby sewers invariably
permeates the air, this little room is decidedly less filthy than the
tunnels beyond. In the heavy dust that covers the floor, the majority of
the tracks belong to rats, confirmed moreover by the scattered rat
pellets along the walls and dark corners. Set in the east wall, in
shadows so deep you almost missed it altogether, is a steel-bound oak
door with a rather solid look to it.

1 east door~
The door is made of strong oak planks bound in steel bands. Oddly, it
shows no sign of wood rot; not even dust coats it. Although it has
obviously been here quite a long time, the depth of the undisturbed dust
on the surrounding floor indicates even the rats seem to avoid it.
Someone went to a lot of trouble to keep it secure, further evidenced by
the heavy iron lock set in the clasp to hold it shut.

Once of stout oak timbers, the ancient chair must have been treated with
care to have lasted this long in so caustic an environment. Now it is
rotted, covered with mildew, and looks barely strong enough to hold even
the bare bones of a dead man in place.
~
E
hooks walls~
The walls, made of cut stone blocks, have several metal hooks placed at
various heights to hold tools. Unfortunately the metal of the hooks long
ago succumbed to the moisture in the rancid air and many have rusted down
to nothing more than little nubs of disintegrating metal.
~

Rat pellets litter the floor along the walls and piled in the dark

Intersection Main~
The walkway ledges are about a foot above the dark, glassy water of the
central pool. Oddly, the walkways are fairly clear, almost clean, of the
detritus that fills the sewers elsewhere and the central pool is rather
clear of the muck as well. It's almost as if someone, or something, is
clearing away whatever filth ends up in this dark intersection of the
tunnels. Wretched-smelling sewer passageways continue off in all the
cardinal directions.

The sewage burbles by in its never ending deluge just below the lip of the
walkway ledge. Though the dank tunnel air is permeated by the endless
chitterings, scrapings, and scream-like squeals of the local wildlife,
this tunnel is surprisingly devoid of activity. The smaller insects are
still around, but you see no sign of the common rats and small animals
that dwell down here.

Two pipes face each other out of the eastern and western walls, carrying

Thick white strands of sticky web-like material hang in dense sheets

attaching themselves firmly to you and pulling against your movements.

The malodorous scent of raw sewage accompanies the steam rising off the
foul rot that floats in the murky waters. The walkway ledges, as grimy
as ever, line either side of the north-south running canal, providing the
only relatively safe place to travel short of swimming through the filth.
A narrow, arched opening in the eastern wall yields entrance to what

The stench of the sewers so thoroughly permeates the air that the odor of
rot is the only thing that fills your olfactory senses. Two pipes, one
in the east wall and one in the west, spill a steady trickle of steaming
ooze into the basin of the canal, adding to the stomach-churning odor.
Along the western wall someone has drawn images on the wall in what looks
like blood.

The pipes, rusted and rimmed with a foul ichor, are no larger than five

The images, formed of a dry, ruddy-brown medium that is thick enough to

various stages of injury. One that could only be an elf, due to the
extremely oversized pointed ears, is laying on its side, an arm inches
away from its body. Several other humanoid forms lay torn limb from limb
or crumpled in heaps. Surrounding the scene everywhere, are hundreds of
bloody rats, always shown biting or tearing at the torn and maimed
corpses. Looming over the gruesome scene, is a single, large ratlike
figure standing on hind legs, human hands plainly seen. The creature's
head is a nightmare mix of rat and man, seeming to watch over the scene

Sewer Intersection~
The rotting morass oozes along with a prominent gurgling sound overlaid
by the constant drip of viscous fluids falling into it from nearby pipes.
More thick sludge constantly arrives from the northern and southern
canals to pool here before continuing its journey out the larger western
canal. At times the torrent from the north increases suddenly, as if a
large runoff suddenly broke free of a blockage. Occasionally, it
threatens to overflow the lip of the narrow ledge that provides the only
safe haven from a dip in the putrescent waters.

Huge Sewage Pool~
You are in a huge chamber within the sewers, the largest you have seen
thus far. The vitriolic sludge of the sewer arrives from the four
adjoining tunnels with a variety of gurgling, hissing and even popping
sounds making this a decidedly nasty place to take a dip. A yellow-green
steam slowly rises up out of the thick mire and wafts upward toward a
ceiling obscured by a miasma of foulness that has taken refuge there.
Fortunately, for those who have no desire to stay here longer than they
absolutely must, someone long ago built four rather sturdy stone bridges
that arc across each of the four canal mouths, connecting all the ledges
and allowing egress in all directions.

pool sewage sludge much mire morass 1 down~
The putrid murk of the sewage is only parallelled by its caustic smell.
Frequently, odd shapes break the surface, shapes with hard angles or
rounded edges unidentifiable under the layers of thick muck that slowly
but never completely ooze off of them before they are pulled back under
by the slow, shifting currents. Circular spatter marks form where
bubbles, some measuring several inches across, rise from the deep only to
pop and release the vile stenches they hold.
~
E

The ceiling is obscured in a roiling chartreuse effluvium that hovers
menacingly above diffusing whatever light is available into a soft haze
beyond which lies impenetrable darkness. The actual ceiling is lost
somewhere beyond the shifting mass.
~
E
bridges~
The bridges provide access across each of the four canals that drop a
seemingly endless supply of raw sewage into the large collection basin.
Though littered with slimy debris, the bridges look far safer than the
alternative choice of a swim. Even the rats seem to be avoiding a dip in
the wretched stuff, sticking instead to the high walkways.

It rises slowly off the dark morass of the sewage basin, like the

maddeningly as any tormented spirit focused on your demise could ever
wish for.

Small Chamber~
The stench of rot and decay is overwhelming in this far corner of the
sewers where air circulation is almost non-existent. A single pipe in
the eastern wall oozes a thick grey ichor into the shallow basin of
sewage canal where it accumulates and flows northward into a connecting
chamber. The walkway ledge arcs around from the eastern edge to the
western edge of the basin and encircles the basin to the south. The
eastern and the western walls, as well as the walkway, are covered by the
usual accumulation of odd detritus that has washed up over the rim of the
pool.

pipe~
The narrow, three-inch pipe juts out from the eastern wall, though a
rusted-through hole in its base causes it to spill most of the dark-grey
ichor out over the walkway before it slides thickly into the morass of
the sewer canal. A sufficient quantity of the slime oozes out to insure
that at least a steady stream manages to pour from the pipe's intended
edge as well as the broken area from which most of it falls.
~

1 down basin sewage~
The sewage rests in a shallow basin where it accumulates before
continuing on to join the rest of the sludge. Though it is hard to tell
beneath the far from clear liquid, you would estimate from the area
covered by the steady trickle that it is no more than a foot and a half,
perhaps even two feet deep at the center. The odd, greyish chunk that
manages to clear the pipe lands heavily amidst the sewage then slowly
dissolves into the same swirling mass that eventually moves on.
~
E
walkway ledge~
The ledge is pretty evenly covered with dark stains and fresher grey
spatterings. The eastern side, directly under the pipe, is covered in a

The dirty side ledges are relatively dry with only the occasional bit of
detritus or refuse lying in wait for you to slip on it. A pipe on the

Opposite it, jutting out of the south wall, another pipe is clogged with
vile-smelling sewage and only rarely drops a semi-solid chunk into the

The sewage canal, lined on either side by narrow, mire-spattered ledges,
is wide, measuring six feet across from western wall to eastern. Rusty
pipes set in either wall contribute an interesting conglomeration of
water and other garbage, creating a murky, foul-smelling sludge, which
flows south. The water entering the canal from the north, though cloudy
and filled with decidedly unwholesome looking flotsam, looks strikingly
clear for what you might expect to find in the heart of a large city's

A rust-rimmed pipe set in the eastern and western walls are each angled

The sewage in the canal begins as a viscous trickle where it comes out of
various pipes in the wall and falls to the basin before gurgling along
northward. The canal tilts upwards to the south, but no trickle of
filthy sludge comes from that direction. In fact, the canal here is
almost clean compared to the rest of the sewers. Obviously, no sewage
has come from the south in a long time. Perhaps that gentle @ggreen@n

The walls and floor are almost completely concealed by a dense,
slime-ridden phosphorescent growth. The cut stonework walls of the room
show through in only a few places where the dripping growth has yet to
spread. Even the ceiling is nearly obscured by the stuff as
teardrop-shaped bulges hang from tendrils never quite managing to drip
off. If there were any pipes leading into the shallow basin they have
long since corroded away and been covered over by the unusual growth.

Sewer Passage~
Narrow ledges line the north and south walls on either side of the putrid
sewer canal, though the southern walkway has a break where it has begun
to crumble away. A pipe in the south wall drops a steady trickle of
thick brown ooze into the sewage canal where it falls with a heavy
slapping sound spattering sewage everywhere. Even the walls near the
ceiling are marked by the random spatterings of the fresh sewage. The
tunnel continues on east and west into darkness.

Sewage spatterings in dark shades of brown and black randomly mark the

to land heavily in the canal below.
~

The sickly smelling decay of the sewage sluggishly flows eastward in a
never ending torrent of filth. A slight depression forms periodically
whenever the pipe in the south wall introduces a thicker than usual load
until the slow moving mire fill up the depresssion full of ooze once
again.
~

walkway break~
While the northern walkway, though covered in foul-smelling, dubious
stains, looks relatively sturdy, a portion about a foot and a half long
has crumbled out of the southern walkway. Almost like something large
came along and took a bite out of the walkway and maybe whatever was
standing on it at the time. Though the sewage covers the canal in a
morass too thick to see through, it couldn't be that deep and still be
this full enough to hide something that big, could it?

Sewage Intersection~
A continuous heavy spatter of sewage arriving over a short waterfall from
the north throws a constant spray of sewage about the room. The falls
spill into the constant mire of the large central basin where the morass
rots for some time before it manages to run off into one of the two
canals leading east or west. Three small steps lead up to the edge of
the falls though if the amount of sewage coming over increases any more
even the steps will disappear beneath it. Walkways encompass the wide
basin and allow egress in the remaining three cardinal directions as well.

pool cistern basin canal sewage~
The basin is wide and dark with a touch of steam rising off it where
warmth of rotting sewage rapidly cools at the touch of the foul air. The
constant spattering of the falls throws semi-liquid stands of sewage
several meters in all directions and you can't avoid the occasional wet
spattering you receive. Most of the debris floating in the dark morass
is coated in so much slime it has become as unidentifiable as the liquid
it floats in.

Three steps on either side of the fall lead up to the tunnel there, but
it looks as if you'll have to step down off the top step into a slightly

Sewer Passage~
The thick sewage has overflowed the basin that usually contains it and
bobs up and down between roughly five inches to a foot deep. A few rats
swim about, occasionally taking refuge on a bit of refuse long enough to
gobble up some rat delicacy floating in the debris. There is a definite
current heading south where the wet sound of sewage spattering on sewage
echoes back at you.

a large sewage basin.

The sewage is a dark morass, thick and soupy. Odd bits of floating
debris, mostly rotted wood or apple cores, bob along the surface heading
southward in the current. Several hit the sheer line of sewage at the

to escape the pull of the current goes over amid the debris with a thin
squeal of terror before its sound is lost to the general cries of the

being increased by pipes emptying from the east and west walls. If it

Rough-cut stone walls lead in from the north then abruptly stop, showing
signs that the work was left unfinished. A few large blocks sit slightly
askew, having being bumped loose at the edge, and one large block rests
near the base of the unfinished eastern wall. The walls south of the cut
stone are natural stone, rough hewn with pick and shovel as if someone
may have once planned on building more of the tunnels but left off here
for whatever reason. Along the western wall, set squarely in a section
of rough-hewn cave wall, is a rickety wooden door.

You are inside a rather cozy-looking cave lit by the gentle, flickering
aura of a small campfire at its relative center. An alcove bed lined
with several large furs and a low table to one side indicate this is
either a rest area or, perhaps, someone's dwelling place. On one of the

The crude paintings on the wall are done in a dark medium-like mud or
sediment and has been well-preserved in the dry air of the cave. The
scenes depicted vary greatly and, though crude, some are identifiable

You can make out a swamp-like terrain throughout most of it, and small
domed huts. In another place you can see strange, fuzzy, ball-like
shapes and saurians carrying either broad spears or long-handled swords.
Among them all, there is one picture that stands out in stark contrast,
for it has color where none of the others do: A saurian shape, one of th
lizardfolk, with a streak of vivid crimson staining the ridges above and
below each eye and running down to the shoulders in sleek lines where
they drift into pools of blue that cover the upper torso almost entirely.

Sewer Drainage Tunnel~
The natural stone walls, hewn by the blood and sweat of workers long
gone, are smoothed by the hand of time. The tunnel walls meld seamlessly
with the stone of the floor as it curves downward at its center to
contain a mass of slow-moving sewage as it flows steadily westward. A
runoff canal set in the north wall between two stout oak support beams
empties down a heavy iron grate bolted to the floor.

The sturdy oak timbers have, as yet, defied the ravages of time. Either

The sewage canal is filled with reaking filth that flows along slowly
carrying the detritus off to the west. Nestled into the nooks and
crannies of the downward arcing floor the canal has room to rise and fall
as volume demands, dark stains showing it periodically rises well above
its current level. Fortunately it is low enough right now to provide a

The runoff channel is a narrow divet in the natural floor only made to
decrease the flow to managable levels when it gets above a certain point.
A steady stream of sewage runs through it down the heavy iron grate
bolted to the ground. Though one side of the grate is hinged, as if it
could be tilted up when opened, the other side looks quite permanently
affixed with heavy bolts to the ground. Beyond it is only darkness from
which the far away splash of wet sewage hitting more wet sewage can be
heard.

Thick wooden beams of oak help support this tunnel that burrows through
the dark stone of the earth. On either side, tunnel walls meld into a
stone floor that angles downward towards a central canal filled with a

The small runoff channel is blocked by a thick sludge of detritus that
doesn't permit more than a few drops of sewage to trickle through at a

mysteriously missing. Despite dark stains around it, showing it was once
in frequent use, only a few rare drops of the sewage manage to make it

Sewer Drainage Tunnel~
A few odd patches of green lichen have found purchase on the rock walls
of the tunnel despite the caustic stench of the sewage that runs
underfoot. As the liquid waste is carried away in a canal in the
tunnel's center, the more solid debris is carried off at a slower rate
and collects long enough to rot into more liquid forms before washing
away. The stench becomes a heady one and is nearly overwhelming at times
as you fight to avoid succumbing to faintness. The oak support beams
stand sentinel here as elswhere, spaced roughly every ten feet.

Break-In Area of the Sewage Tunnel~
Time-worn stone makes up the rough walls of the long, dark tunnel. At
intervals, roughly every ten feet or so, heavy wooden beams form braces
to support the immense weight of the stone overhead. Most notable,
however, is how the stone underfoot angles downward to form a natural
canal through which flows a seemingly endless stream of vile sewage. A
narrow runoff channel leads to a grate set in the floor between two
supports in the north wall. A collapsed tunnel is set in the north wall
just behind the grate.

rust heavily coats the grate and a wide rift in its center is lined by
rust-coated bars bent at odd angles as if someone, or something, passed
freely back and forth through the hole. A thick stream of sewage flows
steadily along a canal in the floor picking up speed as it leaves

A thick bluish-black mist rises off the sewage only briefly before being

Underground Cavern~
You are at the peak of a sheer drop overlooking a massive cavern whose
boundaries are lost in the far reaches of darkness. A thick stream of
sewage widens considerably before it flows over the sheer edge of the
cliff creating a vile mockery of a waterfall. A thin mist of bluish-
black smoke wafts from vile morass but dissipates quickly in the salty
breeze wafting up from the cavern's bottom. The only options of egress
seem to be a rift through a large iron grating to the east or a dive into
the watery unknown below.
