The air-breathers take a deep breath and duck under the rock, half-swimming half-walking along the underwater ledge. Morph and Vuoor swim ahead. The opening to the side cavern is below the ledge. Morph and Vuoor get there first and swims down, peering around the corner as the others follow the ledge above. Denasa stays a little behind.
Morph and Vuoor: [sblock]The side cavern continues for about thirty feet, then opens into a much wider cavern, sloping up. Swimming lower to get a better look, you see a hint of light. Swimming deeper into the tunnel you see there is air above in the side cavern, with light reflecting off its surface. You also see a kuo-toa standing around the corner. He appears to be half-asleep, but as you see him he snaps instantly alert. Standing 15 feet away with a pincer staff in one hand and a shortspear in the other, he raises his arm and throws his shortspear, narrowly missing Morph.

The others see a shortspear come flying out of the tunnel below.
