Dark tunnels

The San d'Orian sewers - or the lower parts of the Bostanieux Oubliette, as the elvaans fancily call them - are dank and dark at best.

I remember the time, when a seasoned elvaan and a relatively new adventurer hume were trying to figure out if there was a safe way to go down there. "If I go first..." No, if I stand on the hatch and then you open it..." "Perhaps we shoud rather..." And in the end, of course, Phu dropped down first instead of the curious Pasifika - who then dropped down, without any sneak, and promptly died, and then witnessed a fierce battle in the dark, where Phu got rid of the pesky slimes, and...

But that's another story, already told quite a number of times. This time Pasifika explored the sewers with a tarutaru, and together they battled the oddly cute and plump leeches that infest some parts of the damp tunnels. The darkness was thick around the adventuring duo, although the light of weapon skills and weapon skillchains frequently pierced the blackness. Light skillchain FTW~

Some parts of the tunnels go way beyond damp, though, and the elvaans should really consider improving their sewer system, so that the water wouldn't get so deep. When Pasifika's elvaan adventuring fellow Romi joined the fun, the water reached barely past his knees - but a taru could drown in there..! Won't somebody think of the tarus! D:

This tarutaru didn't drown, though. Maybe some tarus can breathe through their pointy ears... or the top of their head. There's no other explanation.
