Richie starts working on the lock. With a roll of 17, he makes very good progress on it! It feels like he's aaaaaaalmost got it, when suddenly — something goes click on the door, and it's not the fucking lock. There's the thud of something thumping into place, a rushing of water heard overhead...
And then, from behind them, they hear a series of pop pop pops as the sealed openings they spotted earlier burst open, allowing a flood of seawater to rush into the tunnel. Wuh-oh! Better brace yourselves, gang, because with a roll of 6 Richie does not get the door open in time before the tunnel floods completely and the seawater slams into the gang with all the brute force of a stampede.
Hawke and Adolphe both roll a hecking nat 20 and don't get swept away by the current! Rather, they're slammed into the door but manage to stay there. Taair, on the other hand, rolls a 13 and does get swept away by the current, but not so much that he can't swim his way back to the group if he puts some muscle into it. Good luck, buddy.
The current knocks the lock picking tools out of Richie's hands, though. He will need to, uh, grab those and quickly before the current sweeps them away forever. They are too far down to tunnel to escape the way they came from before they run out of air. Their only option is to finish unlocking the door and get the fuck out of here.
Good luck, gang.
Please roll again for 1) how well you hold your breath and 2) any action you may be attempting in this next round.]
