August 27 Update

Play chess, go fishing, and keep the Sewer Dweller underground.

Sewer Dweller

The Sewer Dweller belongs underground. Stay on the surface too long and you start to burn, and water puts you out. You heal faster underground, and the Surface Tolerance perk buys you more time up top.
