Vixtrin looks at Nollan. "Well, we didn't find what you wanted down this path. Which way should we go next?" the warrior says in a slightly mocking tone. She follows the cleric back to the crossroad.
As soon as you each leave the chamber with the eight slabs, you no longer feel tired. [size=-2]OOC: No longer fatigued, obviously.[/size]

As Fintan starts walking north, Vixtrin quickly takes pace next to him with her chain at the ready.
You reach an alcove in the hall after a dozen feet or so. Numerous pegs extend from the walls of the alcoves, however, there appears to be nothing on any of them now.
Slightly further north, still in the range of your light, you see stairs descending fairly steeply down. After a few feet down the stairs run into water, but it looks like the stairwell still continues.

"Once again my wardrobe betrays me. I surely won't make it far underwater... perhaps we'd best explore elsewhere for now."
On seeing the pegs for a second time on the way back down the hallway, Nollan stops to examine them.
"What do you make of these", he wonders to noone in particular.

Fintan pulls on a peg, but nothing seems to happen. The pegs seem like they may have been designed to hold various things, perhaps hanging off of them.
Vixtrin shakes her head. "None of this makes sense. Why would there be stairs going into water? And why are there slabs in that room? I'm a fair swimmer, but I think Nollan's right. Should we check the other direction first?"

Nollan whispers loudly to Fintan as the lady and small fellow scout ahead, "Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe we're making progress. The Damsel just agreed with me!"
As Vixtrin and Sprout take point, the "damsel" seems to pay Nollan's remark no mind, though she almost certainly must have heard the intentionally loud whisper. The group returns to the crossroad and heads east.
The north and south walls of this large chamber taper in like the chamber in the other direction, and in the nook of the far eastern wall rests a wide stone basin backed by a five-foot-tall shelf. A hardened orange paste spills out over the two-foot basin lip and covers much of the shelf. Thousands of tiny beetles with bright blue carapaces skitter and tunnel through the chalky substance. A keening insect chorus fills the room room as you enter. A huge organic mass completely fills this room's southwest corner. Judging from the beetles spilling from within, it appears to be an enormous nest.

Swarm: 19
Sprout: 18
Beetle (1): 17
Nollan: 16
Vixtrin: 11 (7/11 hps)
Fintan: 4
Since the swarm is first, I'll take its action now. The map that follows has the swarm's position after its action.[/size]
The diminutive beetles gather into a familiar looking swarm and move with astounding speed to completely cover both Sprout and Vixtrin. Both are bit dozens of times quickly, and acid burns into their flesh. With a horrid scream, Vixtrin collapses to the ground. [size=-2]OOC: Spout takes 5 damage (1 plus 4 acid); Vixtrin is unconscious and dying... again.
Oh, and has anyone heard from Amal? It looks like he's not been on the site for quite some time.[/size]
