Erdolliel examines the area thoroughly, but she finds no traps. "Do we have any idea what that lever will do?" Nethezar asks, as Erdolliel reaches toward the lever.

After securing the rope, Erdolliel dives down and Kushnak and Nethezar jump after. While Erdolliel swims, the other two sink to the bottom and walk. The passageway heads south, then opens into another room. Erdolliel leads the way, swimming to a pillar in the middle of the room. The elf...

Nethezar nods as Erdolliel pops up. "Glad you made it back." After the elf relates what she saw, Nethezar thinks for a moment. "You swam there and back. I think I can hold my breath long enough to even just walk along the bottom. I imagine you have no choice but to do that," he adds...

Perhaps 30 seconds after Erdolliel submerges, the rope stops moving for a moment. However, after just a couple seconds, it begins moving again at the same pace as before. Erdolliel swims up, and, after another 40 feet, the elf breaches the surface of the water. The light she saw appears to be...

Erdolliel forces her magic to coalesce even in the water. A blast of steam catches the octopus right in the eye. The creature reacts with a blast of ink, completely obscuring it. But Erdolliel can feel from the sudden movement of water, that the creature has moved very quickly away. I'm...

The trio quickly ties together pieces of rope, and Erdolliel dives back under again. Erdolliel swims down to the bottom of the passage, and sees the next passage turning south. After 20 feet the passage opens up into a room of some kind. It looks like there is a column or pillar of some kind...

Nethezar nods. "I can prepare the spell, as well. Though I don't know that we will need more than one use of it, depending upon how far the passage goes under water."

Erdolliel dives back under the water. Kushnak and Nethezar see the light of the everburning torch slowing going further under the surface. Erdolliel swims down several feet. It seems like the shaft just continues, but after her eyes adjust, the elf sees that the shaft ends about 40 feet below...

Erdolliel settles into the water and sinks down a bit. The water isn't too cold, though it is incredibly salty. The elf swims down a bit, but realizes in short order that the light from above does not afford her much ability to see, and it is soon pitch black. With help from the others, she...

Nethezar and Kushnak grab the rope, though the scholar gives a funny look at the much stronger half-orc suggesting "Why should I bother." Erdolliel lets her weight sink into the half-barrel. It settles lower in the water, but only slightly. From the elf's guess, it would take a great amount...

Sorry for my lack of clarity. The barrel is open... in fact, "barrel" is probably a bad word. I didn't choose it. "Half-barrel" is probably more accurate. Like a large bowl sitting on the water.

Aeron mutters a quiet prayer, and his companions feel the grace of Pelor upon them. bless

Erdolliel painstakingly examines the rungs of the rope ladder as she descends, but the elf finds nothing amiss. The ladder appears to be sound. The barrel at the bottom, likewise, seems to have nothing odd about it, aside from simply being present.

Erdolliel's visually inspection turns up nothing, though she cannot discern whether a closer examination might be more fruitful. Kushnak's spell turns up no magic. Nethezar examines the shaft with a puzzled look on his face. "Unless this is some trap, there is clearly some reason for a rope...

Kushnak flies down roughly thirty-five feet to the barrel. The large barrel could, tightly, hold a few persons. It bobs atop the water, sitting in the shaft. The rope ladder descending from the shaft's top appears fully intact. The water below the barrel is quite dark.

Aeron glances at Shoon as well. "If that powerful wizard is present, I plan to cast a spell of silence upon one of your weapons. Keep your weapon near the wizard, and away from us if you can. I doubt he would withstand our warriors' might without further spell-slinging."

Kushnak's examination of the other hole suggests that it is simply a broken part of the floor, apparently leading to a small, stagnant pool of water. Erdolliel carefully makes her way back to the other platforms. While her search turns up nothing, she notices, for the first time, sees that in...

The shaft is full of water after about thirty-five feet down, and a large wooden barrel bobs on the surface. A crude rope ladder descends to the surface of the water from the top of the shaft. Erdolliel finds nothing else in the chamber of note.

"There is a door, you say?" Nethezar calls, raising his voice a bit. "Likely another storeroom..." Erdolliel finds some cover as she opens the door. The door opens to a large chamber empty, aside from two holes in the floor. The first is a jagged rip where the floor has fallen away. The...

Neth is still back on the landing at the entry way to this room, unable to see anything. As he noting earlier, he's not going to attempt to cross unless there's a concrete reason. You may recall the multiple times falling down the cliff in the area with the grimlocks...
