[LPF] Beggar's Belief

The ladder is fairly light, but looks serviceable enough, despite being made from pieces of scarp food. Once placed in the trap door it reaches the floor with a good few feet to spare.

"I'll go down first and signal if all is clear."

Megan makes her way down the ladder. When she reaches the bottom, she takes a look down the tunnel, her crossbow ready.
 

Ariel Esimae, Female Aasimar Cleric

Ariel follows Megan down the ladder and peers around in the dimness and quietly asks, "Do you see anything?"

She casts Resistance and Guidance on herself and Megan, then the Guardian and Fester when they come down the ladder if the druid hasn't do so already.
OOC: Plan to spam those as indicated before. What is the illumination like down below, do we need a Light spell yet?

You move through several large room containing rotting wine racks and scattered glass before reaching a shallow stairway which descends down into a pool of inky black water. This room appears to have a natural ceiling, as if it were originally a cave and simply exploited by the Isles old owners.

The other side is out of reach of darkvision, and the water looks to be some three feet deep, perhaps deeper in places.
 

Megan looks back at her companions, "anyone care to wager that this is where the goblin squids live?"

"I recommend we go down in a two by two formation. Guardian and I will be the first line with Ariel and Fester as back up. We'll need plenty of light. Things that go bump in the night can see just fine so we'll need to even the odds."

OOC: Someone has a stick/long weapon that he can see to poke for sink holes? If not, can we maybe find one in the rooms before the stariway?
 

Ariel Esimae, Female Aasimar Cleric

Ariel looks at the murky water and considers what they were told about the goblin squids. She involuntarily shivers at the thought of their tentacles grabbing her and says quietly, "I do not like this."

She casts Light on her javelin and hands it to Megan to use as a torch.

"There must be a way to make those Grindylows appear. Could we chum the water for them instead of wading in, maybe?"

Normally she wouldn't think of dishonoring the dead, but with rotting pesh users topside, she is stretching her faith about using them as bait instead of putting up with the prospect of tentacles grabbing her below the waist.

She involuntarily shivers again at the thought and locks her thighs together.

OOC: Frak, Afg. Half your encounters occur in 3 feet of water don't they. :p

OOC: Weeeelll, if you want to use aquatic creatures and not completely gimp the PCs it seems like the only choice. Believe me you may look back fondly at 3 feet of water soon :angel:. Plus this is the encounter that I thought seemed so fun I would stick it into ASI, so its really only 2 encounters.
 





"I'm a bit out of my element... but we need light to see and using something to proof the ground before we take a step sounds sensible... feeding some creature human flesh less... without thinking how it could react on pesh saturated 'meat'." The Guardian says after thinking for a moment.
