Grimmie gives a wince and stands back up, clutching his stomach, raking fingers across the rather dented armour.

Toast: The pipe looks surprisingly dry for something that obviously was designed to carry water to the 'river'. Its crumbly end opens into the huge open topped pipe, but the other direction just stretches off into the darkness. It looks fairly free of rubble, and there's no evidence of traps or mines as far as you can see.
Grimmie: No need for climbing gear to get down the lift shaft, it's only a 2m drop to the top of the car. Well, what's left of the car.
Deject: The mines don't look very complicated so probably need you to step on them to set them off. They should be fairly easy to step around now you know they're there. If you want to disarm them then you can make a demolitions disposal roll, or another mechanical based roll that might be appropriate. Anyone who wants a look at them can make a Rival Company Info roll.

Tezz: Tengu is sat at a table with a couple of cronies. As you sit down they stop what they were talking about, as does most of the bar.
Grimmie: The mines are of DarkNight manufacture you reckon, but you don't know anything else about them.

You can if you like. On closer inspection they appear to be squat cylinders, like a couple of old film cans, with rows of holes around the edge. The one in the other room remained intact after it was triggered by the way. You could make a streetwise roll I suppose to see if you've heard of them on the black market.
They do indeed. You've heard of them and they are Darknight made. They get called CAF mines and cost a few hunderd uni, and aren't altogether uncommon on the streets. You've never seen one used, but you know that they hold dozens of 5mm CAF* rounds that fire off when triggered, and that they're re-usable.

I helped! :D
Re-usable? As in, I can pick one up, fill it full of shrapnel and use it again, or in that we'd have to get cutlery-worrier Emile back to re-assemble them?Grimmie wrote:Augh.. CAF Mines. Cheap and nasty. With the amount of money Mama drags in I wouldn't be surprised if this place was littered with the things. Watch your step guys.

Since I'm a tad lost, a spot of tracking should do nicely to get us on the trail.Well, nothing much else we can do except press on, I'd be surprised if they don't know we're coming by now though.
Tracking: 3,8 + 7 = 18
Once I've got an idea where to go, I'll head off sneakily and watching out for stuff.
Sneak: 2,7 + 4 = 13
Detect: 9,9 + 3 = 21
Grimmie: Without examining one properly you don't know exactly how they work.
Deject: The tracks are still there, leading across the basement into the pipe. As you follow them you spot another half a dozen or so CAF mines.

Onward then.
The pipe is only a couple of meters in diameter and slopes gently upwards. Following it further you encounter, about 30m up the pipe, a hole that looks like it was blasted through the side of the concrete long ago. After about two feet of blasted concrete it appears to open into another tunnel, this one vertical. The tunnel you're in continues onwards.

Looks clear, and stepping into the crumbling concrete inbetween doesn't bring sharp explody death. The vertical tunnel on the other side has a rusty ladder running up and down it, with a metal manhole cover above and the bottom about 20m below you apparently running into another similarly sized but horizontal tunnel.
