"I can swim a little. Besides, Aver is not going anywhere with Jareth. He's already stated so, and it appears your boots seem to confer."
Mal drops his gear near the edge of the pool, preparing to check just what happened to Jareth.

"Nice trick there, able to stay under water that long. You sure you aren't part fish?" Mal asks, wondering just how Jareth was able to stay underwater so long.

Jareth hauls his sopping wet self out of the water. He chuckles at Mal's comment, shaking his head "Not as far as I know, though such a revelation would have a hard time surprising me at this point. But really, no trick. There's a submerged cave down there, along with a crown. It may very well be the one we want, and it's lying right in the cave. And that's the part I don't like... Call me paranoid, but it seems far too easy. And much as I hate it, Aver is the only one with the knowledge of traps. So get ready for a swim, elf! And before we go down, I want an oath from you... No letting your greed get the better of you. We're going down for the crown, a sword I noticed, and whatever we can carry while swimming. No risking our necks down there for idiocy, like with those traps in the mimic's room. I want your oath on this, or I won't let you get near the water. I'll swim down with Mal and we'll grab the crown ourselves."
Jareth runs his hands back over his head, smoothing his bright red hair back. "Hell, Mal, if you can manage the swim, you probably ought to come with us anyway. It's a ways under, about 50 feet down, but there's an air pocket when you come back up. It stinks, for more than one reason I'm sure, but it is breathable. And I don't think I need a similar oath from you," he jokes, smiling.

Jareth's smile turns to a frown as Aver immediately focuses on the mention of treasure. "You'll see. If I lead you down there. I want your oath first. We only take the crown, the sword and whatever we can carry and still swim. In one trip. It's a bit of a dive and I don't want to be dragging you through the water the whole time."
As Jareth organises a swimming expedition, Trinham takes it on himself to organise things up top. "Tia, Clive can you watch our friends here. Meanwhile if Em brings the loot over here, I'll check it for magic." Finally with a grin on his face he turns to the prisoners and says. "I know what your thinking, with the two fighters out the way we might be able to overpower the rest. So; was I lying when I told Desnor I was out of spells or can I conjurer more missiles. You've got to ask yourself one question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?"
Deciding that Aver is a bad influence, Trinham shakes his head, turns away and starts examining the things that Em has laid out. Casting detect Magic in an attempt to determine what they are.

Mal nods at the request from Jareth, but keeps a wary eye on Aver. Something was wrong with Aver. Something in the head. Mal could not put a finger on it, but things like this usually ended up with someone hurt. Or worse, dead.
Looking back, Mal watches Trinham start organizing the prisoner watch. He looks around, wondering if there was any rope to tie them up before speaking up. "Tie them up, get the crossbows set and ready at them. If they try to flee, or escape, shoot them down. If they behave themselves, then they can live to see another day. Otherwise, Jareth and I will be hunting them down, and no third chances to live. They will be given no quarter..."
Mal moves to the gauntlet that Haden had, and inspects it before putting it on his other hand. With the pair of gauntlets, he test their weight out, getting used to his new weapon.
Turning to Aver, he awaits the oath that must come before he will be let down to the cave...

With a huge sigh of relief of finding the crown, Ernestine speaks "Alight. Here is what I am fairly certain is useful to us." and brings over what she found.
"Also be sure to check Mal's gauntlet. I have a feeling it will be quite nice."
Ernestine takes the rope that was used to climb down from Vester's chamber, and with some help form those with better experience with ropes, ties up the guards.
OCC: What did Ern find btw? lol
