Mole drops in and sees nothing more than the others did.
Using the anchor rope as a guide Torryn works her way down getting a feel for the potion and the Freedom of Movement spell. From her position she cannot see much beyond what the others have seen.
Along the surface Loryn moves next to the first large rock finding it easy enough to move. Being on the surface he can see the paths worn by things swimming low and fast over the bottom but only right near where he is standing.
Gnubert sticks to the middle of the group.
Manolo moves to something that piques his curiosity. {ooc: He fails to mention what it is though}
Mortimer, having noticed the symbols, tells the others this is the place. He studies the symbols but they look more done in boredom then anything else, maybe someone keeping watch at some point?
Drack moves up with Mortimer and motions for the group to stick together. He doesn’t notice anything of note. He does find that the combination of magical effects allows him to move well even with a weapon in hand.
Ash joins Mortimer as well.
Everyone finds the swimming, and movement in general, is easy enough thanks to multiple potent magics effects. Basic actions will clearly be no problem.
Mortimer points out to those near him that they need to check the area near the other three rocks. It looks disturbed. He can see that there are several empty shells piled in two spots and what look like some small bones off to one side as well.
Survival DC17 / DC15 If you move within 10 feet. Highlight to display spoiler: { It has the look of an unused camp or lookout post. }

Torryn swam forward, staying close to the bottom. Whilst excited at the sights and sounds of the new environment, she kept her wits about her and remained watchful for trouble. She hadn't been quite so "watchful" at heeding the "staying together" thing. however, she did feel the best qualified to spring a trap - if this was such; at least whilst Drack was devoid of his superior armour.
(Survival 13. She really doesn't know what to make of the bits and pieces highlighted.)

Mole sees the unused encampment. He swims up and tries to estimate how long it has been since the camp has been used.
Mortimer moves in to the disturbed area with Mole. 'Empty shells and small bones,' he thinks, 'this must be someone's dinner'. With caution, he inspects the freshness of the remains (Perception: 11).
He doesn't keep his eyes in one spot for too long; constantly darting about for any sign of danger (Perception: 15).

Torryn swims up with the others keeping a sharp eye and sees something
Drak Agrees that they are in the territory of the enemy.
Loryn guesses that it is a watch camp to see if someone came knocking after the attack.
Manolo swims up and keeps watch.
Gnubert keeps an eye out and says he knows little about tracking.
Mole checks the encampment and is sure he could get an accurate time sense if not under water. As it is he would say it has been used within the last day or less. The bones are lighter and the water would have scattered them sum he guesses.
Mortimer inspects the remains, guessing it is dinner, and keeps an eye out.
Getting more comfortable under water the team has some good theories on what they are looking at. Torryn first notices a disturbance of the silt behind one of the far rocks. Gnubert is the first to see that their quarry is coming to them.
The first sahuagin coming into view wears a red sash and lets out a terrible sound. “Tagata fa'alavelave!!!” Aauan Highlight to display spoiler: { “Intruder!!!”[ /b] } As more become visible. From where you are you cannot see but thee may or may not be more coming. Each you see carries a trident and is, by any of your standards, fairly horrific!

'Eww' Thought Torryn. Weren't fishes meant to be pretty? This one certainly wasn't. She called upon her training in order to remain composed in the face of such horror and then quickly invoked her magic to bring form a veil of shimmering ghostly blue seaweed that sparkled in the water.

Feeling more confident with her arcane protection in place, she held her spear in a defensive posture. If it elected to charge, it was in for a nasty surprise.

Gnubert looks confused at the sahuagin shouting at the group, "Anyone have any idea what he said? Can anyone translate for us. I would think a parlay should be attempted first," Gnubert's words trail off as Ash fires off a spell, "Well that may make it a little to late to try the peaceful approach."
Gnubert swims to N10, and extends his hands showing no weapons, and peaceful intent, "Why are you attacking us surface dwellers? Have we caused you some harm we do not know about?"

As soon as the sea devils announce themselves, Mortimer immediately mutters a few words of power. An invisible force coalesces into a protective shield.
He moves slowly up next to Torryn to put up a strong front. Warrior types only respect strength. Show one bit of fear and this little dance party becomes a feeding frenzy.
To the question of what the sahuagin had said, he replies, "Not one fin or fang of it, but it does sound a bit narky!"

Loryn readies a magic missiles against the one in the red belt. Torryn casts mage armor and sets her shield in case charged. Gnubert still hoping for a peaceful settlement moves forward hands empty. Mole falls back and advises others to do so. Mortimer ignores the idea of falling back, casts shield, and stand next to Torryn Drack moved ahead of the group and casts detect evil. Evil is present. {ooc: You cannot move, cast and ready an attack. With no coordinates or details I put you in front of Mortimer as that seemed to make sense.}
The sahuagin with the red sash gargles when struck with the magic missile and focuses on Ash. As it begins to move a second missile from Loryn hits and it goes limp.
The sahuagin in yellow, who was on the rock, streaks down at Torryn with it’s trident moving fast but it fails to connect. {To Hit: 10} [i] {ooc: If you were bracing your spear please go for that result.}

Four more sahuagin swim into view, one being smaller than the other. Three of them stop the larger two gesturing the smaller one to go the other direction.

As a magic missiles shoot over his right shoulder, he shrugs and then mutters to himself, "well ... feedin' frenzy, it is."
Mortimer casts a spell that takes shadows and forms them into physical, dark bolts that go flying at their target. All three shadowy bolts slam into the sahuagin that is attacking Gnubert.

Loryn attempts to blind the group that is clumped together. Ash casts a spell doing some damage to purple. This does allow the creature to try and poke him with his trident.
The purple sahuagin take the opportunity to attack when Ash casts his spell. {Hit: 18 | Dam: 9}
The two full sized sahuagin find their eyes covered in glitter and move about unsure. The smaller gives the scene a look of anger and swims off over the rock to the east.

Torryn figured that going after the two near the rock was a good idea. As soon as their blindness wore off they would be intent on attacking again. Her spear though, was not an option. It was stuck in the creature that had charged her. She looked to Drack. He could surely pull it free; certainly a lot easier than could she. He was however, busy. That was entirely understandable given he circumstances. As significantly he was somewhat closer to those blinded sahuagin. His actions might well dictate her own. Seeking to pre-empt as many options as possible, Torryn again invoked her magic. A coruscating, ethereal shield blossomed before her.
(Shield in effect - lasts 1 whole minute! header adjusted. Torryn will hold her move action until she sees what others are doing and apply herself wherever she is needed most. Now being the most challenging target of their number -she will seek to interpose herself between the greatest threat and its target. At least that's the plan.

The blue sahuagin's trident glances harmlessly off of Mortimer's shield (AC: 23). A wicked smile forms across the sorcerer's face as he coldly eyes his fishy adversary. He had stepped forward, during the previous round, to block the sahuagin's next attack on the cleric. He now continues this dance by stepping backward (5ft-Step to M10, Swim: 16) out of it's reach to send forth another volley of shadowy bolts. All three slam into him.

Having seen what was unfolding and given the position of the various parties involved in the fight, Torryn elected to move forward and occupy the two that appeared to be blinded. There wasn't really time to pull her spear free. She hoped that Drack would do that, but entirely unencumbered now she resolved to rely upon Agratha's techniques and kick them where it hurt. There was actually a lot more to it than that: a lot more, which was why Torryn felt vindicated in her slow progress. She did after all, have her dancing to focus on too. yet now it would be a different dance and likely not one that the Sahuagin would enjoy.
(Swim 6, but the potion greatly assists with that.)

Torryn had no time to dwell on her success or otherwise. There was still another green fish person attacking her and it had actually hit! She again sought to deploy her Flurry og Blows to good effect, but only the first landed. The second was a woeful miss that almost sent her spinning in the water.

It seemed that they were rather unimpressed. A little puzzled at this, Torryn went and retrieved her spear. She looked around to determine if the spilled blood had attracted any other predators, (Perception: 25) before querulously asking if they were sure.

"I don't think we have the time or resource Mortimer. our ability to be down here at all is very finite. Even the beach makes a solid 40 minute round trip. I don't disagree, but I don't see how"
Loryn sets off, walking along the bottom of the bay, following the trail. The dropped weapons were of minor worth to the cost of time and, let's face it, he was really slow and the others could easily catch right up.

Torryn suggests the group follow while it can. She checks to see if any other predators have been attracted but does not see anything. Ash points out that those who fled are probably warning others. Loryn agrees and sets off down the trail. Gnubert agrees to get moving. Mortimer moves alone satisfied with his group. Drack agrees that things need to be finished and doesn't want to go too far. Manolo swims and keeps up with the others thanks to the Freedom of Movement spell, none of them have much issue.
As the group travels they find the water getting deep the path continues though. After not long the path seems to end behind a rather large rock. Those in the lead also notice that more of the sea devils are approaching fast from the east though those that fled are not with them.
There are six similar to what you have battled in the past along with another four armed creature and one who is more muscular. {New art on slide 3} When they see you there is a general shoot of alarm and they rush forward.

Torryn made a small move forward to draw the enemy on and quickly invoked her Fey magic. Another faintly coruscating shield sprang into being before her.

Gnubert settles into the middle of the group, and eyes the more muscular of the enemy.
Mortimer swims up near the front of the group (to C10) to help build a wall in front of the others. He happens to notice that Loryn draws first blood with magic missile attack. With his shield spell still in place, he decides to assist with his own Shadow Bolts. With one swipe of his open hand across the shadow of the rock, he sends forth three streaking bolts of negative energy. Two strike Loryn's target (light green), the third hits the white sahuagin.

Three of the sahuagin swim over the large rock and close on the rear of the party.
Light blue closes on Torryn.
Finally the larger sahuagin screams in rage, its muscles bulging before it swims forward. It is armed with a trident and a shield.

Torryn dropped her spear in favour of fast, drilling punches. They seemed a better option underwater. With magical assistance, she was able to make a third attack. The speed was such that it even surprised her.
(+8 to hit with Bless in effect and Flurrying. So she hits twice. 8 Damage to the Light Blue Sahuagin. I rolled a third hit, but ignore it as I erroneous though she had +9 to hit. She would do - if not flurrying)
She was determined to help the others, but needed to dispatch the vicious, needle mouthed monstrosity before her first.

Mortimer looks over at Mole with his tiny dagger and he offers up a suggestion, "Mole ... use your big, wicked warhammer, yeah! You've got Freedom of Movement!"
He then notices that Big Ugly is heading his way and he's not looking too happy! Everyone appears to be occupied with their own fish to fry. He's got to hold off the boss to give the others much needed time.
"Time ta make the donuts!" He swims up (max 10ft as move action) to meet the raging boss on level ground, so to speak. With dramatic hand gestures and voice full of gravitas as he speaks dark words of power (Intimidate: 11) and a black, coruscating ray springs from your hand.

Torryn was grateful for the additional magical attacks that appeared to heave dispatched her light blue adversary. Its replacement was substantially larger and more fearsome in aspect. In fact, it looked positively evil! that prompted Torryn to call upon her Sacred Dancer training and Smite it!

(ooc: Michael - take a 5-ft Step to C4. That would put you in flanking position behind the Yellow Sahuagin. Attack with a +2 flanking bonus (along with a +1 Bless and +1 Haste bonus) and deal sneak attack damage. Then do it a second time.)
OOC: Does Haste five a +1 to Hit bonus? I thought it just gave an extra attack? that would have been sufficient for Torryn's 3rd attack the previous round to hit. All academic now, but if the Raging Sahuagin has a AC penalty, that extra +1 might ensure a hit.

The blow had come perilously close to striking her, but the magic of the Haste spell enabled her to sway aside at the very last instant, sparing her from injury. (With Haste in effect Torryn is AC:31, versus this Sea Devil). Its fury though, made it a very dangerous opponent. Even with all her magic in effect it seemed to her that it was only a matter of time before it struck true.
She took a small "step" to its right (her left) thus permitting Drack to come straight at anew. Then she attempted to Smite the evil creature once more. her open hands pistoned forward - Tiger Claw!

Manolo moves to flanking and strikes dark blue. MOrtimer cheers for Manolo’s attack but is to distracted to connect with his own. Mole glides forward and strikes with his hammer ending dark blue!! Drack swims though the bloody water to close on the barbarian. He swings but, being unused to operating underwater, mistimes the swing.
The remaining sahuagin glides away from Drack continuing to focus on the annoying Torryn for the moment. He attacks with claws and teeth yet again. {Hit: 31/26/16 | Damage: 6} Even though he finally manages to connect with one claw you can almost feel the frustration of the creature. ________________

Gnubert reaches out a hand, and casts cure light wounds on Torryn healing for 11.
She was hit! And it stung. Torryn knew that Agratha would scald her for overconfidence, too much reliance on magic and poor form. She channelled her frustration into her answering blows: two staccato snapped side kicks, one low, one mid section.

With the flesh around his hand having transmogrified into icy, necrotic energy, leaving his blackened bones exposed, Mortimer gives Mole a boney thumbs up for approval. "That 'ammer delivers a mighty blow, it does!"
Mortimer then spins around to see the barbaric sahuagin. He notices it trying to move around Torryn, so he swims in to block his attempt to move around her flank (move to B11). This would also give Drack a flanking attack when he comes charging in.

~ugh!~ Thought Torryn. She had done her best to hold the creature's attention, but simply wasn't the threat that Drack was. Her blows, whilst sometimes insightful, lacked in power. Still, she had an opportunity to be 'insightful' here as the Sea Devil was surrounded.

DM-Ryan: Bath Time - Maps and Art Thursday May 18th, 2023 10:04:48 AM Manolo is bewildered that the barbarian is still fighting. Torryn lands two more strikes on the beleaguered barbarian. Gunbert repositions himself on the battlefield. {I changed the positon as C11 contains the barbarian, unless you wanted to swim over it} Manolo deftly lands a telling wound, surprising the barbarian. A wounded Drack lands hard with his first blow clearly laying the barbarian low and checks his following swing. Loren and Mortimer know they could have ended this as well but get to save spells instead. Mole closes some of Drack’s wounds.
The battle done you survey the carnage left as the red of blood slowly dissipates into the large body of water. You can see that this group actually had some valuables on them. Searching the bodies you find several coin bags containing 297gp and 697sp, each had a trident and the barbarians shield is of clearly excellent craftsmanship and gives off a faint magic aura.
Also with some time to look, in the dim distance to the east, you make out what appears to be a sloped area that leads to a larger rock formation.

"Many thanks for all the aid, Guys. You're life savers - literally." She told them.
With the Sea Devil slain, Torryn's smiting capacity lapsed as did the arcane boost to her speed. Her fey armour would remain for some time yet.

As the others are congratulating and celebrating the win, Mortimer gets down to business of searching through the bodies and collecting what valuables they have.
"We got a few pouches of coin ... almost 300 gold and 700 silver. Not bad! All these tridents are 15 gold a piece"(Appraise: 18). "Well NOW! This shield is magic, it is!" He casts Detect Magic and tries to identify it. (Spellcraft: 18)

The gnome walks over and assists Mortimer, "I say we tie the tridents together and cache them right here. Get them to the boat on our way out. Same with the shield unless someone can wield it. Be silly to leave it behind. We know there are future confrontations to be had down here."

"I believe a punch in the nose has been delivered, but let's make sure the job is done. Let's head over to the direction they came from and make sure there isn't another group of them."
"Agreed Loryn. Let's leave the big stuff here, and pick it up on the way out."
"Thanks again Mole. I could have used lay hands, and saved the charges, but we don't know what still awaits us."

Torryn swims, trying to get a better look but can only make our that there is a larger rock outcropping some distance away. Mortimer gets to the real business of adventuring, the spoils of battle counting the gold and discover the shield is a +1 Heavy Shield As the others talk Gunbert heals up the party for whatever else they find. Grabbing a want Mole continues to repair the damage down to Drack. Drack appreciates the healing and agrees to leave the big stuff for on the way out.
The water around you is still pink with the blood of your enemies but it is more diffused every moment. The colorful plant life sways in the current and you have a moments piece.
Looking out in the direction the sahuagin came from the bottom slopes down another ten feet. About one hundred and thirty feet away there is a larger rock outcropping that extends up from the bottom about twenty feet in the area you can make out. You can tell that the lighting will be dim and the rescues what you can see as you approach. WIth only Torry really looking you do not see any movement but it does seem a good assumption that you have found where the sahuagin originated from this area.

The dim light was of no real concern to Torryn. She saw just as well in the gloom as in daylight. She swam over the outcropping, taking her time to admire the colourful anenomes as she moved forward - forward in order that she might better ascertain what lay ahead.
(Swim 12)
"Oh, my spear." She blurted, suddenly remembering the weapon that she'd dropped. That had cost her a pretty penny. It wouldn't do to leave it lying around for the next sea devil to come along and pick up. She moved back and around until she was able to retrieve the weapon.
"Oops" She said with a sheepish grin.
"I can't really see that far ahead, but there are some more rocks that way. It gets deeper and darker though - just so you know. We should probably make sure that there aren't any more - of the devils, I mean - before all this magic wears off. She hoped that the explanation detracted from her embarrassment. Still, it didn't hurt to move on; so that's what she then did - moving forward in the direction of the rocks, as indicated. She endeavoured to stay low, near the sea bad, thus presenting less of a profile to any would-be spies. This time her clumsy strokes were forgotten and she moved forward as smoothly as any seal.
(Swim: 28)
Sound travelled well underwater, better than on land; so she kept her ears as well as her eyes open for trouble.

DM-Ryan: Bath Time - Maps and Art Monday May 22nd, 2023 10:31:47 AM Ash nods to the rocks and mentioned that he has a few spells but is running low. Torryn remembers her spear, good thinking, and swims forward a good distance. Her swimming i so strong it distracts from her perception. Loryn thinks the rocks are as good as anyother place to looks. Gnubert nodes his agreement and wants to get started, complaining about being wet. Mole wants to save healing spells for combat and use the wand outside.
At this point the parties adrenaline from the fight has faded and they move to where Torryn is scouting ahead in normal outdoor formation. {ooc: I assume that has not changed.} They have closed about half the distance to the larger formation and can see that it is quite large and appears to angle down into the ground. It is clearly natural and any cave would most like be from a crack in the larger rock.

Torryn eagerly pressed forward, delighting in the colours of the coral, the anemones and the algae. that was disregarding the small fish darting around.
(Swin: 15) She swam up over the nearest rock staying close to its surface and hoping to get a better view of what lay ahead. There was no question of turning back. She felt that they'd only just entered the water! Their magic had plenty of time yet to run.

The cleric looks over at Mole, "That is a fair point. I will try to reserve my healing for combat to maximize it. As you can see I have not done much adventuring, I need all the advice each of you can give to become successful."

Torryn continues to lead the group forward as they talk/ Heading to the top of the central rock a naturally formed cave is clearly in view. Without going past the rock itself the group can get close enough to see some details. It seems Manolo's eyes have adjusted to being underwater the fastest and he gets a good look at the cave.
The cave mouth is just short of fifteen feet wide but it looks as if it narrows as you move in. You can see some scratch marks on the inside edge of the cave that look like a crude trident, similar to what you saw previously. It appears to go from dim light to dark the further you move into the cave and its angle down does not allow for much further view.
The area also seems strangely devoid of fish though the colorful plant life persists.

"Not so many fish here. I bet that is like the same as with birds. You get a hawk around and they all vanish; so I bet there's a nasty predator close by." She told the others before again advancing. Well, that had been her plan, but in her desire to keep a low profile, she'd strayed too close to the rock and her top had snagged on a piece of coral. She immediately stopped and eased back, very carefully and slowly.

Mortimer swims up to the mouth of the cave with everyone else. He is glad that Gnubert could give the others the light they needed.
That has always perplexed him. He's never been able to cast a light spell of any kind. Which is strange since all of the other finger twiddlers in the group are able to conjure their own form of light. He, on the other hand, fails to ignite the fainted spark. Mortimer shrugs at the thought. He can see in the dark and a light spell isn't really necessary. They all can produce some sort of acid magic as well; which is very odd. Being underwater is probably not the best place to be slinging around acid. You'd put your eye out with that, he thinks.

DM-Ryan: Bath Time - Maps and Art Wednesday May 24th, 2023 9:40:17 AM Torryn has a private battle with the water and the coral. It’s kind of a draw. Gnubert cast light on his holy symbol to help the party. Ash look at what foliage he can see. Mole suggests moving ahead. Mortimer moves towards the cave opening considering his inability to cast a light spell. Loryn is ready and thinks they have enough light. Drack leads the way into the cave.
The cave does not seem to narrow over much and the walls have been smoothed with time. Ash notices that you can still see the signs of the rock having once been one piece and cracking. Lines that would go together, smaller pits of stone on the floor are the biggest signs. Moteimr and Mole both have sharp eyes and make out places where markings have been made on the walls, some newer and some older, in a foreign language.
Drack is slightly ahead of Torryn, after her private battle, and has sharp eyes. He briefly thinks he sees movement at the end of his sightline but it is cut off by the tunnel leveling out after dropping twenty feet. He does notice an abandoned or dropped trident laying near the end of the slope.

Torryn moved forward smoothly (now that there was no pesky coral to snag her meagre garments). She kept close to the South wall that she might better see around the corner.

The gloom of the cave concealed little from her scrutiny. Perhaps it was the magical light that was helping. If so, it was also helping the enemy as they'd see the light before she and the rest of her friends saw them.

Mortimer quietly points at the tridents scratched into the walls. He can't help but think that these sea devils really like their pitchforks. Must be an important aspect of their identity.

Mortime checks the markings, they are oriented pointing into the cave and seem to be donw with a steadier hand. Ash thinks these are more for wayfinding where the previons were doodles.
Continuing down the tunnel you come to a large rock in the center that you can swim around on each side. Once you look around that edge you can see the start of a very large chamber again with large rocks scattered about. This is however different as it look like the rocks breach the water. The relative depth looks to be about thirty feet with a pocket of air above it, maybe ten feet in height.
You are entering near the bottom of the cave making the water fill to thirty feet above you with a ten foot air cap. It is dark save your light sources which surely are casting shadows of your approach. There is movement ahead of you in the dark!

(Subbing for Torry)
Torry tries to hold in her desire to dance ahead and see what there is to see, but She sticks with Drack and moves up next to him, also peering into the cave. perception 22
(NB: Torryn has 1 Shield spell remaining and will seek to use it prior to a fight. That done she can enter combat and use her Flurry ability- or if range is needed, she has a ranged touch attack for 1d6 - which is Lightning based - fun in water. This is my last post for 2 weeks. Take care of Torry :)
Ash Macfarlane - Shawn R; AC: 11(T 11, FF 10), CMD: 24 HP: 30/31 Saturday May 27th, 2023 4:14:45 PM
Ash waits to see what Loryn's spell lights up, before moving forward. The underwater cave was making his nerves go crazy. He was trying to figure in his head how much time his spell effects had left.
Active: Freedom of Movement 65 minutes Swimming 55 minutes Bless
Gnubert Glitterdust (Wade) AC: 18 T: 13 F: 16 R: 5 F: 8 W: 10 HPS: 36/36 CMD: -1 d20+12=15 ; Saturday May 27th, 2023 8:08:51 PM
Gnubert follow along behind Drack and Loryn. The cleric wants to be in poistion to help as soon as necessary, and at the moment all dangers seems to be in front of them. The cleric continually looks around for danger, and points of interest (Perception DC 15)

Mortimer continues swimming forward with Drack and Toryn. If the light from Gnubert and Loryn (not certain of their locations) goes beyond what they need to see, Mortimer will cast Darkvision on himself and attempt to see into the shadows beyond their lumination.
(Mortimer casts Darkvision on himself. Range: 60ft. Duration: 5 hours.)
(Perception: 12)
Mole; (RichP) AC 18; HP 48/48; CMD 16 Sunday May 28th, 2023 8:41:57 AM
Mole will hide from animals on 5 members of the group, then use his pearl of power to recall it and use it again on the rest of the group.
"This should keep any animal surprises to a minimum."
Effects: Hide from Animals (duration 50 minutes) - "Animals cannot sense the warded creatures. Even extraordinary or supernatural sensory capabilities, such as blindsense, blindsight, scent, and tremorsense, cannot detect or locate warded creatures. Animals simply act as though the warded creatures are not there."
Spells 0 - Flare, Know Direction, Light, Stabilize 1 - CLW x3 (c,c), Hide from Animals (c) 2 - Delay Poison, Hold Animal, Resist Energy 3 - Water Breathing x2
DM-Ryan: Bath Time - Maps and Art Monday May 29th, 2023 8:04:07 AM Manolo keeps to the back but does not see much as a bit of something brushed across one eyeball. Mole casts hide from enemies so they avoid any wildlife, hopefully. {ooc: I think you know the Sea Devils sometimes have pet sharks so thats smart!} Drack thanks Loryn for the lights and begins to move up to the first rock before the passage opens. Torryn moves forward, not rushing ahead of Drack, and keeps pave. Gnubert stays behind Drack and Loryn so they are in position to help. Mortimer continues swimming and casts Darkvision on himself. Loryn calls forth some dancing balls of light that help to light the room. Ash follows the movement of the dancing lights.
By the time you get to the rock in the center of the path, splitting the pathway, the cave ceiling rises to twenty feet. Inside the cave, as described, the water is thirty feet deep and, at least, the rocks near you once out of the tunnel seem to end near the top of the water. Beyond that is an air bubble of some sort.
Between moving forward and the added light you can see a lot more of what is going on, though you may not want to. The movement was in fact more sahuagin! You see several swimming into the light. It looks like four normal sahuagin, two barbarian and four of a type you have not seen before.
The new type wear little in the way of armor and carry spears. They are slimmer than those you have seen, probably not as strong. They stay back a little as the others surge forward. The barbarians and warriors spread out as you move. Clearly this group was moving to intercept you having been warned by those who fled the field at the start.
The cavern is large with the new light you can see what looks like a ruined small ship sitting on the bottom of water. Other items seem to be scattered about though they would have had to have been moved here.
{ooc: You have two maps. One is an enlargement of the section of the larger chamber.} {ooc: All the sahuagin are a mix of male and female, not even but probably 60/40}
