Rauko's breathing shifts from her normal, well-controlled rhythm to ragged, pained gasps as the scalding water continues to rain down on her... but she presses on, forcing her legs to push through the shifting sands until she can finally dart into the depths of the tower. Somehow, she'd hoped that all of that water would be doing something to dissipate the heat inside the tower; but she's barely even stepped past the threshold before she starts to regret the brashness of her decision. It's like she'd climbed into a double-boiler or something!<br/><br/>But she's come too far to duck out now, and she has no desire to try and dash back out through the boiling rain... so all she can really do is try and catch her breath before pressing onward, deeper into the heat. And she really has to find some sort of way to mitigate the heat; it will do no good for her to pass out halfway into the tower and get herself caught, after all.<br/><br/>After a moment of consideration, the infiltrator comes to a decision- and though it's a bit more "bold" than she'd like, she figures it will be Ok so long as she doesn't get caught. Which is kind of her plan anyway. So, after only a bit of hesitation, the bluenette peels her soaked tunic from her back and wraps it around her waist, exposing her pale torso to the desert heat, and begins to make her way off down the hallway on her right...<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button"> Mechanics</div><div class="spoiler_body">Lethal damage reduces my Infiltration roll to 12 from 13, but I scored 5 hits as she makes her way down the hallways.</div></div>
