I'll ditch my synth-leather jacket too, but I'm keeping my shoes for when we have to run across that rusty broken metal grate.

extra weight < 2kg

Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee...

[mercy]

noy a problem only carrying 26.6 kilos  my body wight is 200 LB

not your body weight, your BOD rateing. even a single Kilo is a lot of dead weight to carry arround... expecially when trying to keep afloat in fecal matter... what you have is almost 60 lbs of gear... that's more equipment than i carried when i went camping for a week as a boyscount, and had to keep everything with me. unless you have a bod of like 12, I think you are sinking like a rock to the bottom of the fecal pit.

ok my bod is 3 and acturly am only carrying 22.6 will loose the sleping bag and my jacket res of my stuff is in a rucksack munis the wight of used up ammo and gun drops me down to 18.4dump the flare luncher brings me down to 15. 7 not sure how much to take off for my long coat am ballparking the coat at 3 wich puts me at 12.7


okay, by shedding that extra stuff you are able to keep your head above 'water', but it's a strugle, you aren't going to be able to keep this up for long.
(but at least you aren't sinking...)

is there a ledge i can reach

two actually. one going back the way you came, one going up into the night sky, Each is a bit of a swim though, and then your other option that everyone else seems to be swimming towards... the sludge slide going down a dark tunnel into an ominous sucking sound...

[kv]

I'm liking the idea of this ominous sucking sound less and less... but I doubt that it's a really good idea to change my mind halfway through and go the other way.

Maybe they'll decide that we probably went up rather than toward the certain death of down... :/

You and your small party of fecal covered floating friends (sounds like a new superhero group!) make it over to the protective grate coverind the water half of the opening leading 'downstream' you can feel the air being pulled through the top half of the pipe. it's almost a fresh breaze.

about that time the lights and whatnot are almost to the opening you slid down the first place.

Yeah, with them that close behind, we'll stay the course.
What's up ahead of us?

[Ruski]

It takes more effort that you like to admit to pull yourselves out of the 'muck' while climbing the submerdged grate. You imagine that it must be akin to escaping quicksand, and it's somewhat disheartening to have to 'dive back in' on the other side. to the grate's credit, the fluid on this side is much thinner, although there is a bit of a current. the pipe/tunnel is aproxametly 6' accrost. (also, 6' high) you can almost stand, if not for the current pulling you downward, and the slipperyness of the footing (it's very, very slick) there are 'ribs' to the tunnel, and if you are over 6' tall you can reach bouth sides and sort of brace yourself aghinst the current. (strength 3 test) if you are under 6' tall, you can acheve the same effect by putting your feet on one side, and your hands on the other... however, it'll be quite difficult, and require an athletics 4 test to pull it off.

you'd guess that the first 10' or so of pipe leading back would be visable from the entry way (where the people following you are coming from) that's also about as far as light from the night sky penetrates the tunnel... after that... it's very... very dark.

You hate to think about what's squishing through your fingers as you move, but you are able to keep yourself from getting 'flushed' down the tunnel. (you have a strength of 6?)

I'll warn everyone to be careful as I slide down the tube- I don't want anyone behind me to take out the group as they slip. I heard a story about two brothers in a river once.

10 1 2 7 2 - 2 Successes.

[Ruski]

Okay. you all crawl deeper into the tunnel making sure to keep out of sight of the guys with chainguns that are looking after you... from your vantage point (looking over your sholders as you climb steddily deeper into the pipe) you can see the sweeping arc of their flashlights as they attempt to locate where you've gone.

(I don't have the Stealth skill so I'm defaulting off of Quickness)

You are clunking arround a bit... but hopefully the sound of your movements is covered up by the sucking sound of the pipe...

You all whince as some of the 'taggers on' that Jazzman rescued make a little bit of noise... you can hear the whine of the miniguns rotating barrels as the troops stand overlooking the spillway.

...

then comes the sound of heavy armor climbing down a ladder...
