Nebrios: [sblock]Your form hammers into the creature's psyche, trying to drive deep into its black, twisted mind. You soon find that it is far too strange and alien, however, to inflitrate. Just brushing up against its horrible psyche is enough to nearly shatter even your formidable mind - even you, an imp of the hells, have never experienced something quite so dark and twisted as the mind of this bizarre creature.[/sblock]
Those swimming into the side passage: [sblock]You swim into the side passage and grope like blind men in the dark. Soon your hands detect something that seems a bit more familiar - stone. You are not certain, but you think you feel stone steps. The steps are covered in slick mud and nearly overgrown by the strange, encroaching seaweed-like plants, but you have no doubt that there is some sort of man-made structure nearby.[/sblock]
All:
Suddenly, the light winks out and you feel something terrible. At first your mind, deprived of oxygen, struggles to place the sensation, but finally the breathless wheels in your mind grind to the inexorable conculsion. Something that was not there just a mere moment before has suddenly taken up residence within the dark, murky waters beside you. Then, you feel a massive rush of water as if something insanely large is moving through the plant-choked waters...
OOC: Now you can use those init rolls. If you want to re-roll, feel free. Also, Grundy, Hume, Wayne, Valandra, Airole, Vargo and Kal can see that Larris and Ganshinji seem to be entering some sort of "side passage" that was missed by the other folks. Everyone needs to add another round onto the numbers of rounds in regards to holding their breath.
Folks with darkvision can see a bit more, as below:
Darkvision folks: [sblock]Suddenly, a insanely
massive form winks into existence in the water above you. There is no doubt in your mind that this creature was the source of the light which just winked out of existence. The creature is right next to Roth, opening is massive, gaping maw.[/sblock]
