Then, as if immediately forgetting that he can now breath underwater, he holds his nose and closes his eyes and jumps into the shaft after Torrent. His armor causes him to sink rapidly until he bumps into Torrent and Lars midway down the shaft. At that point, he opens his eyes to the stinging brine and gropes for the rope and the walls of the shaft. In doing so, he lets go of his glaive, which plummets downward like a missile through the water until it passes through the portal below and clangs on the stone in the cavern, sending echoes up the shaft. Still holding his breath, he starts to panic and tries to scramble back upward for a few moments until he can hold his lungs no more and he inhales a mighty breath of lukewarm and somewhat salty water. The feeling is incredibly surreal and uncomfortable. Yet, rather than convulsing in pain, he feels a familiar relief. He takes another breath, and steadies himself, realizing that he isn't actually dying. He descends the rest of the way by sliding down the pulley rope.</blockquote>
