He emerges, dripping, on the other side, and enters the small room, crinkling his nose at the odor of the the dead Penkus. Almost immediately, his sharp senses locate an irregularity on the back wall of the room. It doesn't take long for Kalen to find the outline of a secret door in the stone, and a well-hidden catch which will open it.Meanwhile, Bael and Col make their own entries into the pool, albeit reluctantly. Chongo makes a bit of a face at Col's request for aid, but complies nonetheless. As the barbarian powerfully swims back, with Col's possessions held in one strong arm above his head, the warmage and archivist awkwardly swim in his wake. Both of them struggle to make it across, but fortunately, these waters aren't too difficult. Bael arrives ahead of the old archivist, and Col finally makes it, pulling himself feebly from the water like a half-drowned rat. It wasn't pretty, but at last, the entire party has crossed the pool. Everyone stands ready to consider the corpse of Penkus, the note he bore, and the newly-discovered secret door.</blockquote>
