Contractor: "So the sewers that service the dungeon will be four inch mains(Standard)". Customer: "No I need them to be big enough to walk through and have fights in!"
Contractor: "But why who would want to crawl around in sewage?"
Customer: "You would be surprised."
They are still right at the door ^^' So theoretically they could just turn around, step out and go back in and hope for a different map. Sewers are definately not a good start for newbies. Alone for the higher risk of wound infections.
Open flame is another thing I would be reluctant to bring to a sewer, too high risk to walk into a gas-pocket.
Well as an alchemist that Alexus guy should be able to rigg up some phosphor based light source if neccessary (Yay for science!). And in a fantasy world there are plenty other options - jar with glowing mushrooms, cage with fireflies, judgemental talking everglowing, never shutting up orb...)
Some of my best ideas for dungeons came from an engineering class I took on sewer design. Explosive gas, oxygen displacement, chemicals leeching in from nearby industrial sights that literally dissolve the entire sewer system (yes, that actually happens).
H2S is a worse risk. Not only is it toxic as hell, it has the nasty habit of numbing your sense of smell. You catch a whiff and then the odor goes away, so you think the gas must've dispersed and you're safe. Then you keel over. People die that way every year.
Alchemist on point!!! My dnd pc would be hiding in the middle :P but he's only Alchemist(1),Wizard(5) so...
Btw; I really love how all the comments here are positive and/or funny. It's so rare to find a spot on the Internet not infested with trolls; and we get direct responses from The Creator himself!?!
As much as I want Marblegate to be a huge commercial and critical success; I know that once it is, I will look back with nostalgia on the time when it was the smaller positive community it is now (anyone who has tracked the progression of the LFG comic comments will know what I mean here).
On the up side for the party, this is probably the only level where the tobacco reek of the pipe won't be alerting too many wandering monsters that dinner has been delivered.

And, that gives me a good idea for a little script modification a few pages ahead...
Making this comic has been educational, if nothing else.

Who knows what'll happen in the future? Early supporters will always be appreciated :)
Now my comment can make sense.
But maybe it'll be something exotic, like a Dire Snail. :D
