The doors at the end of the hall open more easily than the other two. Another set of wide stairs leads downward into darkness. Holding the light up you can see a landing several feet below you. Descending the stairs, you can see that you are in another wide hallway. There are another two doors to the starboard side, one to the port, and at the end of the hall you can glimpse the dim outline of double doors. The port side door is standing open, partially broken off the hinges. The two starboard doors are both shut tight.

Midian moves carefully to the open door and risks a look inside. The room is dark but with a preternatural sense, he can feel a presence in the room. Thrusting the light ahead of him he reveals a large room. This area looks like a mess hall, with numerous ruined tables and chairs scattered about. Amid the wreckage is a long, serpentine body terminating in a fanged head that swivels to face you. It is a massive moray eel, easily 10 feet long. Its gaping mouth opens and closes as it forces water over its gills revealing rows of needle sharp teeth. The eel seems focused on your light, it's head tracking the slightest movement.

Midian holds his position, and keeps the light steady and his voice pitched low. Trying not to think of those fangs, he lets his own body relax, his head weaving slightly as he speaks.
"Nothing to fear here, friend," he says. "We aren't hunting the same thing. No competition to be had, no need to be territorial."
[sblock=OOC]Wild Empathy +5. Also, Midian wants to try to recall whatever he knows about this kind of eel (Know: Nature +8). He doesn't want to make the same mistake he did with those crabs, and try to cast a soothing spell on something it can't effect, for example.[/sblock]

The eel remains stretched out across the wreckage, unmoved by Midian's efforts to influence it. It raises more of its length up to assume a dominant stance, clearly willing to protect its territory from interlopers.

You can recall several important facts about this species. Eels have small eyes, but a highly sensitive sense of smell. Their skin is covered with a protective mucus layer that is toxic to some species. Their bite is fierce and they latch onto their prey when they strike. They normally flee from danger but can be aggressive if cornered.
