North by Northwest, Chapter 2.5: Caster and Mouse

[Old Fezziwig]

Cellan: It's just water as far as you can tell. Pretty pure, actually.

Everyone: You set yourselves up for the exploration of the pool, wrapping a rope around Ghur's waist and letting Cellan check the water. The dwarf heads in...

Ghur:

Spoiler

There is no special secret tunnel or passage at the bottom of the near end of the pool that you can see, although you do spot a small chest at the muck in the bottom, some fifteen feet down. It's possible that there might be a tunnel at the far end, if you wanted to check that.

[sblock]OOC: Listen checks for everyone except Ghur, please.[/sblock]

KJ: [sblock] Yes, Ghur will check the far end of the pool. Bu first he will tie the rope around the chest and have Herev and Cole pull it out. [/sblock]

Cellan stands by the pool watching, waiting, and listening as Ghur moves in. Manakar stands by his side, a puzzled look on his face at the strange sight of this short two-leg walking into the water attached to another two-leg with the soft fiber.

Readying his crossbow in case his new companions find themselves attacked again, Cian is not focused on the sounds around him.

Everyone: You see Ghur briefly surface. He tells Herev and Cole to get ready to pull a small chest out of the water (he's attached the line), and then he dives back in. When the chest comes out of the water, you notice that it's a small stone chest with brass fixtures, all of them turned green with the exposure to the water. It's shut tight, likely locked.

Ghur:

Spoiler

There's no tunnel that you can see at the far end, but there are a pair of enormous crustaceans — one red, one blue-green. They haven't noticed you yet, but they'd be more than a match in combat.

[sblock]Fenris: Can you make a "Swim" Silently check and a Hide check? [/sblock]

KJ: [sblock] Good thing I'm a swamp dwarf. Even better that I'm actually a rogue! Such a strange concept, a dwarf, swimming, silently
Ghur Swim Silently and Hide from the HUGE crustaceans (1d20+8=16, 1d20+8=22)

Cian

"I don't think I'd be much help on the rope, but I can harness up my dog to help pull if needed," Cian offers.
