Saviours, the game!

[Figment]

Lifting up on the grate and the hatch, Devon lifted both until he could snake an arm out to grip the hatch as he opened it and the grate carefully.

[Figment]

His arm was a bit stretched, and he had to use both arms awkwardly, but he managed to open both silently.

[Figment]

Silently, Devon pulled himself into the room and padded silently to the eastern door, placing his ear against it as he listened.

[Figment]

Listening, Devon could hear the occasional faint sound: the shuffling of boots upon the ground.

[Figment]

Moving over to the northern door, Devon placed an ear against it as he listened intently.

[Figment]

Listening for a while, Devon heard nothing.

[Figment]

Slowly, Devon turned the knob on the door, opening the door a crack, Devon peeked out.

[Figment]

Peeking inside, Devon spotted a small closet.  A quick glance told him it contained sewage cleaning material:  A couple shovels, some brooms, and a couple small bags upon a shelf.

[Figment]

Moving back to the eastern door, Devon turned the knob slowly and placed his ear against it to listen briefly.

[Figment]

The knob turned as the sound of fabric moving came to his ears.

[Figment]

Slowly turning the knob back to it's original position, Devon pulled out his multi-optic goggles and used the thermographic vision to look for any heat sources/people near the door.

[Figment]

Looking through the device, he could make out a few distinct sources on the other side of the door, at close range.

[Figment]

Deciding that discretion was best, Devon quietly slipped back into the sewer and carefully pulled the grate and hatch closed.

[Figment]

As soon as the grate was closed, Devon heard noises from above.  

"I know I saw the nob turn."
"You too, the closet.  You two, with me, lets check the sewer."

[Figment]

Moving swiftly but quietly, Devon raced east through the pipe.
