Aristophanes, is this in reference to the second scene in your play Lysistrata where the Koryphaios of Women dumps water on the Koryphaios of Men?
Mark, is this in reference to the discovery that a surprisingly large number of game designers have Classics degrees?
Or should we be reading something more into your choice of that particular play to cite?

Nay, 'tis these damnable frogs! They keep jumping onto my scrolls, with their infernal chatter!"Brekekekex koax koax"! Do I have to wait for them to jump off to avoid getting my manuscripts wet?

As long as we're talking about plays with Euripides as a character, I suppose it would also apply when stabbing a wineskin swaddled like a baby, like in Thesmophoriazusae (or not if Micca catches all the wine in her pan)!
More seriously, it's an instantaneous water effect, so there's some discretion involved but whatever you would do after hydraulic push should be the same thing here.

I don't think any of the designers at Paizo has a Classics degree. I actually have a Master's in Computer Science from MIT, which doesn't offer a Classics major in particular. Jason is an architect (unlike my degree, directly relevant as he can build dungeons out of Dwarven Forge at a speed that flabbergasts me), Stephen is a philosopher, pretty varied overall. I just like Ancient Greek stuff.
