Oh dear that's confusing[/b] Soon afterwards Sayuri returns and quite a while after this the rest of the party wheeze and clatter into the room; spreading out watchfully yet resting after the exertion of the decent. Grembor advises the party what happened and Sayuri starts summoning some water elementals to investigate the pool and flush out the ghoul.
