7. Laundry Room
The smell of soapy water and the humid feeling of
hot steamy air hit you. You hear the hiss and rattle of
machinery. Through the mist you see that this chamber
is filled with steaming tubs of soaking clothing. At one
end of the room, wooden bins overflow with garments
and sheets. At the other end, the two wooden cylinders
of a huge mangle rotate, pressing water out of wet
clothes.
This area is plumbed directly into the desalination room
below. Three sailors, stripped to the waist, can be found
working in this room, along with one basking ship’s cat
who enjoys the steam. The heavy mists from the hot
water give concealment (20% miss chance).
Mangle: The mechanised mangle is dangerous to those
who come too close. Loose clothing can get caught
in the works and drag creatures in. Any creature who
occupies a space adjacent to the mangle at the end of
its turn must make a Reflex saving throw (DC 20) or
be dragged in, taking 6d6 points of crushing damage.
Characters caught in the machinery cannot move until
they free themselves. Trapped characters may make
Strength checks or Escape Artist checks (DC 25) to
free themselves. On every round thereafter on which
they remain trapped, they take a further 10d6 points of
crushing damage, with a Reflex saving throw (DC 25)
for half damage.
