The original torch that Arthur had brought had died down by now.
~CLANK~
Arthur struck the stone floor and ignited the second torch, illuminating the tunnels once more. Now had the lever in his sights and walked up to grasp it. He held it firmly before pushing it downward.
~CREAK~
The lever made an unpleasant creaking sound, while rust fragments fell off from it. It was tough to move it, but Arthur forced it to do so. And when it finally came in the resting position, the gears around it started to move.
The gears pulled on the chains that hung from the Sluice gate and pulled it back up.
Whoosh!
As soon as the slightest gap was created, water went rushing past the gate and flowed through the sluice into the distant channels. It took five minutes for all the water to drain and the channel to become empty again.

But before Arthur could get to distributing his free stat points, his excitement was interrupted by something else.
Squeak!
Squeak!
Squeak!
Squeak!
Squeak!
"That doesn't sound good…" Arthur heard similar sounds and knew he was in trouble.
"One… three.. Six… eight!" Arthur counted using Inspect. "There are Eight Large Dire Sewer Rats coming my way." He knew fighting them head on was not an option.
Even with his torches, it would be difficult.
"There's only one way… I need to get that weapon!"
