Further down it is.

"Let's see how far this rabbit-hole goes!" I'll say over my shoulder as I let go and slide down the chute.

<ooc> better the uncertain death in front of me than the certain death behind me</ooc>

the sounds of heavy armor climbing a metal ladder suddenly stop... the rotation of barrels dosn't though...

(perhaps you shouldn't have said that so loud)

oh well. not much you can do about it now.

you slide down the tunnel... it's like a slip n' slide at a wate park... only you don't want to open your mouth to scream for fear of what might fall into it... and there are no lifeguards to rescue you if you start to dround...

Well, I don't want to slide out the bottom of this tube, so I'm going to try to use my arms and legs to slow myself down, to brake so I don't shoot out the end of the tube into a pile of sharp and pointy things.

It's hard to stop once you've got some momentum behind you... STR 6 test. 1 sucess only slows you down. you need 2 to stop.

No successes... :/

Well, no stopping for you. you plundge down the pipe faster and faster. it's very dark, but that may just be drek in your eyes... it's hard to tell what's up and what's down, but eventually you are pretty sure that you are falling... yes. defenitly falling.

Well since the bullets have started flying...
I'll follow him down the pipe.  

STR check: 1 2 2 4 11 ...... 1 Success

You slide down the pipe untill you can't see light any more, putting out your hands to stop your decent you are unable to get a good hand hold, instead forced to try and wedge your body at an angle to stop your decent... the force of the water that backs up behind you when you do this is overpowering however, and you are still slowly being pushed further and further down the pipe line.

10 08 05 05 03 03 2 SUCSESSES

You grunt forcefully with the effort it takes to keep yourself in place. you can hear the attempts of your friends further down the pipe to stop... but seeing as how those sounds are getting further and further away, they must not be very sucessfull. the three remaining people from the party are looking at you in wide eyed terror trying to decide what fate is worse, when the decision is taken out of their hands as gunfire sparks through the side of the pipe, killing two of them where they stand. the third is hit, but not fatally. their bodies follow the flow of the drain toward you.

(STR 6 test to keep your posisition in the pipe and not get knocked further down stream. (or, if you are feeling chilvirous you could try to save the one remaining person from the flow by getting some extra sucesses...

I decide to take the desion out of his hands  grab him and slide and pray

Okay. about another 10 yards down the pipe you catch up to someone who was trying to stop themselves. uh... let's just say that they can't stop you at this point, and you all together pile screaming down the pipeline.

You fall for what seems like a long time... it's hard to breathe, and it's harder to see... the spots forming in your vision could be from any number of things... chemical induction into your system, brief flashes of chemically colored fungus on the walls, lack of oxygen to the brain... it's really hard to tell. eventually you splash into a 'lake' of some sort. you don't know how deep you go exactly, but you never do touch the bottom, and your lungs burn fearcly before you make it back to the surface. it's still black as pitch, and there's a general current pulling you in one particular dirrection, but it's much easyer than in the tunnel. (or at least feels that way)

you can hear the sound of the waterfall, and you can feel the dirrection the current is pulling you, but other than that, you have very little perseption ability.

There is also a gentle dripping sound of condensation all above you...

I'll swim away from the sound of the "waterfall" but toward where I would guess the 'shore' is... Somewhere I can claw the drek out of my eyes, and figure out what I still have on my person... maybe that flashlight or a gun to defend myself?

I'll rotate so that the waterfall sound is either coming from the left or the right of my position (not front or back).  Then I'll start swimming forward hopefully trying to find a ledge or a wall.

Okay. You make it over to the side, with everyone else. The flashlight and gun are gone. (as well as anything else that was in your hands when you got 'flushed')

pulling the drek out of your eyes dosn't reduce the darkness any.

you do find the 'shoreline' and what you can only guess are your companions. you guess this by the swearing they are all doing under their breath. other than the sounds of water, and swearing, it's pretty quiet down here.

"I'm alive....barely."



I check my pockets, still got my pocket flashlight?  Hopefully I didn't lose it in all this fiasco.
(Checking... YUP! first peace of good news all day.) you snap it on, and get a softly glowing brown glob in your hand. cleaning off the drek you have a beam that extends perhaps 10'... not very far; but certanly better than pitch blackness.

edit: just fixed the color tag
