Marl scouts 40 or so feet ahead of the rest of the group, keeping to the cover and shadow at the edge. He uses his darkvision (60ft) to spot any threads before they arrive, as well as keeping an eye on the group. He will pick up a piece of cobweb to find out whether he knows anything about it.

The cobwebs stick to you, resisting your attempts to remove it from your hands, but otherwise appears to be just regular cobwebs.

Having reached the landing you can see the stairs continue for another 5' down before running into 10' of running water. There is a grate visible in the water to your right. It blocks passage that way. Every few seconds you can hear some mechanical grinding, a hiss and then a rush of water.

Marllow looks at the floor, ceiling, walls, listens intently every which way, and generally seems to be trying to analyze something...

Knowledge (Architecture/Engineering): 15
Intention is to try and figure out what that sound could be, if it's the hiss of a boiler as he suspects, and if so if he can logically infer what it might do.

Marllow
The lack of steam and heat leads you to believe that it is not boilers, but it might be hydraulics.

"Well, to whom it may concern, it sounds like some sort of hydraulic system controlling water flow below. I doubt it's a trap."

Could be an elevator of some sort.  I imagine anyone who makes the journey regularly wouldn't want to climb every time

Cumulo steps down to the bottom of the ladder and takes a look around.

They are stairs.  Tongue

Will you be going in front of Marl or stop on the stairs behind him?

Marl will keep his lead as he sneaks ahead.

Marllow, on the other hand, as a squishy, will be behind the lead.

Stepping into the disgusting sewer water, you discover it is only two feet deep. From your new vantage point you are able to see the tunnel widens in the next section. The widened area has raised sides, each with water worn grooves below metal circles. Just then one of the circles opens, revealing itself to actually being a metal iris valve. When the valve opens, there is first some mechanical grinding, followed by a hiss and then a rush of water, it then closes. As you watch other irises open and close, but you are unable to discern any pattern.

We should probably make sure we don't fall into those valves, suggests Marl. Anyone got something to make sure that doesn't happen?
