Zeppo also has rope and grappling hook. Maybe we use it to secure the person diving down to use the keys?

Two ropes is better. I'd suggest everyone tying in, or at least climbing out of the swill so it doesn'y suck us all out into god-knows-what! Heya, that mallet ole sharky had- is it weapons-grade and is it visible anywhere?

Tommy is a bit low on luck now, so he'll stay up on a cask and help with hauling people back up after they attempt to unlock the door.

I say we have three stay up as dedicated haulers in case something goes funny with the current in the "waters." First unlock attempt goes to our highest luck character. Rinse/repeat until we get through this. If we have another length of rope, maybe we can have another diver look for some sort of plugged drain system or do we not think it's worth it?

Brun will stay up on one side with Kylessa preparing to dive.
Brun: "I'll bet there's no drain, or that if there is, the rush of swill out the door could potentially be to our advantage as long as we aren't swept up in it ourselves. We're down to, what- five of us now? Sheesh..."
Once everyone is tied or otherwise secured, she leaps into the drink...
Kylessa's dive: Luc13 roll of 9. Hopefully Brun has a good hold on that rope...

Tommy is also holding the rope and retconning this into the conversation before Kylessa jumped in. "Give us one tug if you're going to open the door and two tugs if you want us to pull you back up. Good luck!" The grappling hook end is also secured to the cask.

Almost immediately the rope is tugged once, then twice. She turns the knob with one hand , clings with the other to the rope, and kicks the door inward with both feet...

(She waits till Zeppo and Sanitor are secured or in a safe place before she dives)

Luc(13)=19 fail
Brun descends from the cask and wraps his threadbare cloak about Kylessa's shoulders, who only looks impassively at the doorway that now stands open.

What do we see beyond?

Zeppo and Sanitor collect the grappling hook and rope, then stand behind them and peer through the doorway.

Tommy takes a quick look at the debris for anything that might be of use, then turns to look in the direction of the open doors.

Zeppo and Sanitor are willing to go in the front, their weapons drawn, their eyes darting about for signs of more foul trickery from this place.

Tommy will take up a position in the second rank.

Brun files in next to Tommy, trying to make little of his wounds in front of Kylessa, who takes up the third rank. Both unleash a ranged volley at the man with the bucket, trying to get out of the liquid as they do so.
Init(+2)=9
Brun: (shuriken)att=NAT 20! crit=4, dmg=4
Kylessa: att(+2)=20, dmg=2

18 initiative. Tommy is backpedaling to get out of the ignited booze. This takes more precedence than his throw of the javelin, 2 to hit.

Init=9+1=10
Dang
Does this guy seem immune to the fire?

Sorry! She's chuckin' slingstones at, uh, Flaming Moe, lol

Sanitor dives to the driest spot of ground he can find to try and put out the fire (not the first time he's been on fire).
Zeppo throws a shuriken at the assailant. To hit: 14, 2 dmg

Sanitor stops, drops and rolls, but the entire ground is damp (the liquid all had to rush through here to get to this new room). The flames are diminished while on his downward side, but flutter right back up when on his upper side. He's feeding them more flammable liquid by rolling in it.

Inside the room, the entirety of the floor is now covered in burning liquid, but it has not yet crept up the roof supporting arches on either side which are massive timbers, nor ignited the few robes hanging up...

Zeppo misses (unless he'd like to throw some Luck at the issue [3]).

It's a steep price for so little, no luck burnt.

Are the robes reachable without getting into the flames?

Unless someone can fly and hasn't told me, someone's going to have to run though the room to get to those robes.

Then again, you all have various random bits of equipment that might be employed in non-traditional ways to achieve.... something(?)
