As you click on the flashlight and grab a gun out of the sack, you get a better view of what's arround you. the tunnel is heading towards a trashgrate that spans from floor to cealing. the rest of the people that followed you down are huddled arround you, staring out into the side pipes with wide open eyes. there seems to be a staggering trail of people making their way down the manhole, and the sound of running feet splashing in filth echos quite well in the enclosure you currently find yourself in. the chaingun fire sounds distant now, but you aren't quite sure if you've gone far enough to get out of their line of fire... it could just be the effect of hearing it through a street's worth of asphalt and concreete.

I'll look around for some kind of door/opening that I can start getting people out of here through. I'd rather not go topside just yet, until I'm fairly sure that they're not sitting above us with guns, waiting for us to stick our heads out.

Is there any sort of door on the trash grate?

[kv]

Oh, and I'll check and see how many bullets this gun has in it.

[Ruski]

The gun has a full clip (whatever that is for mercy's gun of choice) there is no  doorway through the trash grate that you can see... although perhaps there was at one point. it's really hard to tell. it's very corroded. there are several crawl capable tunnles going off in several directions, but no were to walk. you aren't quite to the trash grate yet though, perhaps a closer look at it would give you some more data to work with.

{15 rounds evey time you pull the trigger uses three rounds its a ruger thunder bolt and has gel rounds} I cast a healing spell on self (half the dice for sucess other half drain) 5 3 2 3 4 3 8 5 1   [drain 4 3 2 5 2 6 3 8 3 5]

So, that's TN: 4 for serious wound, plus three for the effects of that wound on your body... giving you one sucess... knocking it back to moderate +3... resist dammage looks like two sucesses... you take a light stun wound... putting you back at the +3 modifier you were at with the serious wound... but at least one box of that will go away in a half hour...

[kv]

I'll get everyone to move closer to the trash grate.
If there's no good way through, I'll have to figure some way to split up the groups.

Upon closer inspection there is a gap rotted out at the bottom of the trash grate that is even with the 'water' level. you can dive under it if you aren't too 'bulkie', don't mind submirging yourself in raw sewage (like cooked sewage would be any better) and you aren't affraid of the 9,000 bad things that'll happen if you come up at the wrong point under the grate and end up impailing yourself on the desease encrusted rusted jagid points of the trash grate.

[kv]

How sturdy is this rusted gate? Maybe we can get a couple of the bigger guys and have them bend and break this thing... cause I'm not relishing the thought of submerging myself in raw sewage. I'm having a hard enough time breathing as it is...

It's pretty sturdy... If you had a troll and a good half hour you could probibly crack another couple inches off the top. it's very rusty, sharp and pointie though, so touching it with your hands is probibly a bad idea.

actually it's probibly a bad idea to touch anything down here. including yourself.

I'll try and feel around with my foot about how wide and tall the opening under the sewage is... I'm really not looking forward to this, but you have to do what you have to do. :/

Everything below water level is rotted away. you have about a foot and a half of clearance. there are some sharp spots that catch the bottom of your shoes as you swish them arround... probibly the original connection spots for the grate. it's about two feet wide... give or take. it is a circular opening, making it a little wider at the top by the tetnis-pokey death, and quite narrow at the bottom.

[kv]

I don't want to take the gun and flashlight "underwater" with me... is it possible to pass it between the bars, so someone can pass it to me once I go under?

Calling what you are about to dive into 'water' is like calling a 560 lb girl who's 4'0" 'huskie', but yes, there is enough space to hand something through the bars with only a little bit of trash removal.

[kv]

I'll pull some trash out, and then hand the gun and flashlight to Sam before holding my breath, pinching my nose closed, praying to the catholic saints they made me in school, and then diving under and trying to come up on the other side as quickly as possible.

you hear a collective intake of breath and subdued reching sounds from the crowd as you dive into the sludge. it's like swimming through jello, you don't dare open your eyes, but you feel your way past the gate and come up on the other side. you are covered in shit. after shaking your head to get rid of the bigger peaces, you notice a large turd sitting on your sholder. this doesn't do much for the level of enthusasism of the people on the other side of the grate.

[kv]

I'll throw up, and then have Sam pass me the gun and flashlight.

"Come on people- any of you got a better idea? We stand the best chance if we stick together."

[Ingo Monk]

(OOC:) LOL "Stick together!" like the turds are sticking to you!! Bahahaha sorry couldn't resist.  I'm next anyway.(/OOC)


It can't get any worse for me so I'm going through if no one else is.  I'll just make a mental note to go get lots of shots later, after I soak in nice warm soapy CLEAN water for a few hours.

[mercy]

hands the gun and flashlight thru then takes a deep breath and slides thru

[Ruski]

Okay, with you three on the other side, everyone else is still looking pretty undecided as to if it's a good idea to go drek diving... however, something happens that helps them make their mind. from the other end of the sewer (the end over by the manhole cover where you poor slots jumped into this mess) there is the sound of a metal on concrete crack / splash, followed by a beam of ultra-bright light, and the snap-crackel-pop of an autocannon. richochets pepper the area as a seemingly unending belt of ammo is emptied in your dirrection. the remaining people are crawling over each other to get under the grate, although some of them aren't fast enough. several have holes over an inch in diamater show up through their bodies in red explosions of blood right before they sink into the quagmire they are standing in. There are aparently two people with mini-guns, and ultra-bright light systems at the other end of the sewer. they are shooting in your direction, but between the meat and the grate, not much of it is getting through to you.

Well, I'll help pull the people through who look like they're alive enough to make it... but as soon as the way is mostly blocked with corpses, we'll have to leave the others behind.

<OOC> Do I recognize Takashi from the picture that I was carrying around and flashing to people, or my mind too caught up in other things?

I think you are pretty distracted at this point... but *shrug* you are a smart guy, and it is why you are here in the first place,... but he is covered with a nice fecal-disguise at this point as well... let's say INT check, target number 12. no... no, that's too high. 10.  you make it, you reconise him.

 oh, and the people are all stuck fighting under the grate... getting ahold of them is difficult at best due to the 'slipperyness' of the situation. STR 8 check to pull one through, let's say you can make checks untill you fail once, 1 check = one guy saved. do your best. (anyone else can feel free to make their own checks or run for their own lives as they feel the need to)
