Encounter Conditions

Have flooded the Abandoned Subway from the antiquated-monitors

Initial Text

You take your time following the flooded trench. Even with the raw sewage, it's still nicer than a lot of Metros terminals.

Periodically the floor writhes under your feet, but never with the strength of purpose that would send your hurtling into the trench. Which is just as well really, because that pale shape floating in the water probably isn't an old couch or long-forgotten log.

The thing's red eyes watch you patiently, waiting for you to make the first move.

Dive in

You dive in past the crocodile. It doesn't seem bothered by you jumping in… in fact, it heads the other direction with a prodigous burst of speed.
