The Central Sewer
You enter into the central sewer which you believe is situated at the center-most point of the area around which the blue wall surrounds, putting you squarely beneath the Clash Complex. This massive area is shaped like a bowl where it only safe to walk around its outer edges. The center of this room is a solid 15 yards further down then the stone brick walkway which runs the perimeter of the room, broken only by four entrances for water like rivers. This area is extremely dim, even for the Starless City and its quite difficult to see very far and in a room this large, you notice that you can't even see the walkway on the opposite side of the bowl. You can see to roughly the halfway point around, but any further is simply too dark.
You do a quick lap around the room to check the primary walkway of the room. Wide enough for 4 people to walk side by side all the way around it is constructed of solid brick and seems unshakable in its foundation. As you walk around you find that a large tunnel extends out from this area in each of the Cardinal directions. The brick path as each of this tunnels turns into the tunnels, but at each of them a large sluice is cut from the center roughly twice as wide as the walkway. Flowing out of each tunnel in this sluice is a massive supply of dark water, pouring out of the tunnels and down towards the base of the giant bowl that is this room. Stretching across the river of water where the walkway turns is a thin metal grate, which you can pass over without too much trouble, but it makes an unpleasant rattling sound with each step. The grate on the southern side of the sewer shakes more and has a broken portion, like a small chunk was torn out from the edge. You also see several ladders around the edge walls leading back up to the manholes you saw in the Starless Streets surrounding the Clash Complex.
Finished with the edge of the room you turn your attention towards its center where the water from the four tunnels flows. As you approach the edge of hte walkway the ground cuts away steeply into a near vertical drop before it rapidly curves out to make the bowl like shape of this room. The ground of the bowl is slick with mold and appear perpetually wet from the unending rivers of water splashing inwards. At the very center of the room where the floor finally flattens the ground is replaced with a massive grate where the water falls into a dark abyss of which you cannot see its end. The holes in the grate are large enough for large quantities of water to pass through, but are not large enough to risk a person slipping through, even a child. Climbing up from down here back to the walkway would be a monumental task, fighting the slippery footing and unceasing flow of water.
Pierrick's body is visible. He lies impaled upon a number of wooden stakes at the center of the central drain. A black blanket lays off to the side and a pistol lays near Pierrick's corpse.
