Xoria manages to stabilise the hag, who sinks slowly to the water-covered floor.
With the combat distractions out of the way, she notices that the water comes from an opening inside the mouth of the lamprey statue, but the mouth also leads to a tunnel that spirals upwards deeper into the shell.

No-one seems to regenerate. The first troll was completely dissolved by the jellyfish, the second currently hangs in midair, but is sinking now that it has lost consciousness.
The jellyfish also fly, albeit slowly.

Olmar gives the troll body a good push towards the jellyfish. Dissolving it will slow them down at least.
Then he joins Xoria.
Then he joins Xoria.
"Let's bind your wounds," Xoria says, calling her companions over. "Quickly, before we move on." She eyes the torn remains of Bjorn. Even as she fights to choke down her horror and revulsion at his death, the aristocrat in her takes some comfort in the departure of the dangerous rabble rouser.

Shaking off the effects of combat, the group is ready to continue further up into the shell.
As you reach the top of the winding tunnel beyond the lamprey mouth you hear a disturbing chorus of wailing and shrieking, that gets louder as you approach. The chamber into which the tunnel leads is walled with huge clamshells, inside which are clamped dozens of bodies of humans, sea trolls, ur-men and some other strange creatures, all howling as if in pain.
Thick turquise smoke billows from their mouths and empty eye sockets, the same smoke that issued from the whales and crabs in the first chamber, a thicker version of the mist in the chamber below. The smoke rises through a large hole in the roof of this chamber.
The bodies of most of the pinned victims are covered in an encrustation of barnacles and kelp, some seem to be transforming into a mix of crustacean and mollusc.

Vela gains 6 reserve points, which transferred fully heals her. Olmar gets no replenished reserve points but he can transfer those he has, giving him full hit points and 7 reserve points.
As well as imparting flying ability, the smoke in this room grants a +4 bonus to Constitution.

"More necromancy," observes Xoria darkly, revolted by the arrangement. "Leave the hag here," she tells Olmar. "Disgusting as it is, the smoke will help her recover."
OOC: Assuming we brought the hag along. Also, Xoria examines the room. She is thinking that these creatures are being drawn into the shell of the giant anemone as a sacrifice to give it "unlife." Do any of her knowledge skills lead her to believe this is true, or tell her anything else?
