Encounter Conditions
After sufficient work on Spooky Forest Construction?
Initial Text
Well, you had some doubts when you saw the forest starting to rise up in the ballroom and tarps being laid down, but it's actually looking really nice. With a thin layer of water starting to spill out over the tarps, the whole thing is starting to look like a nightmarish swamp.

Choice Text and Results
Add more tarp
You haul out some of the tarp and clip it together with the others on the edge of the pool. The water is only slowly growing at this point, but you should have given it some more room.
You've earned 2 XP in Reflexes
Hole the tarp
You try to get at the tarp, but it's surprisingly challenging with it being underwater. Still, it's a nice low-resistance workout.
You've earned 2 XP in Strength
Check the water
The water is doing okay, but it's largely stagnant so it's hard to say how long it'll stay that way. There's a few pumps which seem to be keeping things circulating and clean for now.

Or, when the water gets worse:
Yeah, the water in here looks pretty filthy. There are a few water pumps, but they're definitely not keeping up.

Check the pumps
Without animatronic motor:
You feel like you could probably put a pump together. It'd definitely need some kind of little motor, though.

With animatronic motor:
You feel like you could probably put a pump together. It wouldn't be pretty, but it should work!
You've learned a new armory recipe: Water Pump - Use an Animatronic Motor to force water through a Gas Mask closed up with Sealant Patches

Install animatronic gargoyle
You set up your gargoyle amid the swampy forest. Holy hell, this is going to be awesome!

Leave it be
You tromp your way through the swirling, increasingly murky water. It's spooky, but also seems somehow unsanitary.
