What do the sewers look like?
The sewers begin at the Slick Ledge, a ledge above a shallow stream of sewage. The tunnels run through the Plank Bridge, Curving Tunnel, Tunnel Junction, Long Tunnel and another junction, ending at Underneath Manhole, where you pry the cover with the poker. From the Tunnel Junction, a dripping passage to the east and a tight squeeze to the northeast lead into the museum’s janitor’s closet.
The sewers are where Dennison’s dimensional shambler hunts you, so read Chapter 9 before you go down. The next place is the George Washington Museum.
