Well, it's all temporary. Do you have any size-changing magic?

Unfortunately, not really. Can you blast a way through these pipes? There's a leyline somewhere down here and I wants it.

"Oh! You're still looking for the finger of God? It is in there, yes. It is difficult to reach, for one must abandon outdated ideas of self-preservation to reach it. But putting faith in one's course and listening to the call of God will bring salvation and sweet air to breathe for but a moment."

He looks you in the eye, in obvious pain.

"It is a miraculous feeling, to be saved by the grace of God in the stygian darkness and suffocating death of the depths of these tunnels. I wish you the best in getting to experience it."

Or I could just go find a more accessible one. Here, let's get out of this sewer.

Cast Inexplicable Pillar of Rouge Bats directly underneath the sewer entrance. Make it a thin one, so it doesn't block it up.

Inspect shoes. If they look fine, wear them.

THE DUNKER, faced with a ladder that he doesn't really feel like climbing at the moment, summons up the power of infinite bats of rouge, calling a pillar into being with some other plan in mind, though what that might be is unclear at the present time.

[THE DUNKER's affinity roll: 4+1]

At his call, a pillar of bats that his eyes barely process at first warbles into being as fifteen images of it collide in the same single spot like some form of sci-fi hologram. The pillar, though relatively narrow, shoots up and right out of the sewer, presumably to a rather great height as well.

Hungry Pete says nothing at this, and only attempts to nab a single can of food from his friend's chain-tail. Unfortunately for him, however, the tail holds fast and does not surrender its link to the man.

Eta opens up the shoebox gifted by Caradog, and within she observes a rather comfy-looking pair of sneakers, nothing at all suspicious to be gleaned from their appearance. Seeing no reason not to, she puts them on, feeling warmer and more civilized practically instantly.

However, her basking in the wonderful feeling of not walking around barefoot at night on cold pavement is interrupted by the warbling appearance of a tall, thin pillar of pink bats, hundreds of little wings beating to keep the structure straight and stable.

"What in god's name is happening down there?" Ivette wonders briefly, walking over to the manhole to look down. "Oh, it's the donut guy."

Shimmy up the pillar! If this plan to look cool fails miserably grab the ladder, but have you ever seen a guy over 300 pounds try to go up a ladder? Last resort.

"Uh... you know, casting spells, getting angel hookups.  Seen Cal around here?"

Larry has seen too much lately to let this put him off his game for more than a second.

"Naw, man. Bob's around, though, probably chilling in his crib."

The tube draws closer to you, opening a little wider and touching the ground not too far away.

"Speaking of, come over here and step into my tube, dude. I'd like your opinion on this thing I'm doing."

Larry hesitates a moment, but then decides his powers are awesome enough to overcome any trap.  "Aaaight."

Hop in the obviously not a trap tube.

The general feeling of frustration and not understanding what is going on was starting to make the use of explosives more and more appealing for Eta.
"Let's just get those out and if we can't reach that leyline, let's just fill the ground with holes until we can. Or just blow this place up. I don't think there are any other people around here."

Help the others out of the hole, if possible.

Look for somewhere to hide before yon pilgrim arrive. Possibly behind a giant potato.
