[QUOTE="Archon Basileus, post: 7276349, member: 6855545"] As the heroes advance, the sounds of water become even clearer, as if the approached a set of fountains. The waters seem to repeat the same mass-like moving sound, just a few steps ahead, and indeed Harfik and Aanzu reach the edge of an old marble bath, where hot water bubbles up in expansive waves, releasing a copious amount of Steam. They can see the surface of the water, but almost nothing else. The sounds suggest more pools such as this, towards the sides and up ahead. The waters are miraculously clear, even after years of abandonment. Odds are they stayed like this on account of the pulse that keeps them stirring around the pool. The edges, though, are covered in the strange mold they've seen all around. Their feet are lightly placed over it as they reach the edges of the fountain. They keep their footing, but any forceful actions might be difficult around here, since the floor might slide quite a lot. A few steps behind, Lyllie tries to communicate with local beasts. She overhear rumors of small creatures vanishing into the mist, unwilling to fight them even before her stern warnings. There's a smooth, primitive voice coming from another kind of creature, though, that she can barely identify as animal. She captures a mass of mumbling noises coming from the center of the room, as well as its edges, almost as if a low chant, paced in hypnotic waves. She can't tell exactly what produces it, though. The small steps spread all around, but the feeling of being observed still doesn't go away. The giantess stops by the side of the others, contemplating the room with a static stare. As the others approach, Icosa's keen eyes detect a pattern on the mists movement, as if they were climbing towards the roof and escaping through vents, carefully placed up. Such is his distraction that beneath his feet he suddenly feels a slight movement on one of the stone plaques, and as the thing slides down a few steps, the gates behind the group roar once more, brought together with haste as they shut violently against one another! The mere sound is enough to nearly deafen the group, and Lyllie feels as many small beasts scram to corners, trying to hide! Aanzu and Harfik, being closer to the mists, realize they change their pattern all of a sudden, as if something within them became aware of their presence. The mists roll over themselves, curling above the surface of the waters, and fold into themselves, becoming calmer once more, proceeding with their ascendant movement. The cries of a certain child fill the room once more, as a distressed mother tries to calm down her baby.
