A single raven leaps forward, profiting form the small space to jot down, flying inside as if scouting. Amidst the strong winds and the approaching thunder, the heroes overhear the phantasm's voice one last time. "A shame. But I've tried to warn you. Indeed I tried." - it's hard to tell if the voice is mocking the heroes or if it earnestly regrets their decision.Below, the raven flies in circles, no sound coming from it. The black creature chooses to land on the half-destroyed piece of a column as the heroes descend. The halls below are far stranger than one could have foreseen. Covered in eerie light, the adventurers' senses take a moment to get acquainted to the glow of the hall. As their eyes adjust, they see a respectable room, the remnants of a once luxurious round hall. Still, a number of cave-ins have broken the roof, leaving only a fissure through which they now descend. Below, layers of water cover most of the hall, leaving few open areas, here and there. And the lights... They come from this strange, outlandish creatures sprung all around, on the walls and within the puddles, on the floor and the columns. The creatures resemble a mixture between fish and dragon, and their luminescent nature suggests they've been used to live in deep areas. As the adventurers descend, they react to their movement and sounds, agitating themselves upon the walls and suddenly glowing with more intensity, a noise of crackling static coming from them as flickering, small bursts of electricity breed among them."Careful..." - a cavernous, hushed voice comes from down below, soon to be followed by a second one, soft and controlled - "...do not disturb the thunderbreed. They react to vibrations and sound." "Come down, right below you" - a third voice continues  - "...And do try to stay out of the water... When they one charges, all follow... Few would survive."The three voices come from three distinct directions in the hall, as if they were positioned to surround it."On your tiptoes, travelers..." - the third voice adds.MAP UPDATED<a href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1EprfJl2xm_JM7K2VZ59EMtydVJIBjK1ZMDetVr2LoEo/edit#gid=0" target="_blank">https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1EprfJl2xm_JM7K2VZ59EMtydVJIBjK1ZMDetVr2LoEo/edit#gid=0</a>[I'll add permissions when I return from work or when you guys ask, ok?][Everyone that descends from the stairs, please roll for stealth!
