Mak pulled an arrow from his quiver and leaned back against the wall to steady himself as he readied an arrow in his bow. He carefully took aim at the waterline on the opposite bank and waited for the ghouls to emerge.

(1) If Panzer appears, Kiwina acts as previously stated.
(2) If Panzer stays under, Kiwina casts control water to possibly reach him. This lowers the water by 14 feet in an area 35 feet wide and 140 feet long between the shore Kiwina is on (near edge centered where Tsak is) and the one Mak is on.

Fort saves 20 and 31
" Depth? it was hard to tell, I took maybe 1 step down for every 2 steps forward, I think. It was very murky and super cold. Not cold enough to hurt me but bone chilling nonetheless." Panzer wastes no time drawing the shock kukri in his main hand and swapping the dagger to his off hand. Because the water was so cold he isn't sure if his frost kukri would hurt them. He waits for them to surface as the others talk about crossing.

Falco remains ready to channel.
"If they follow lets fight them here instead of potentially on the boat. The Warper-sar will help put them to rest."

Water Depth - Knowledge Dungeoneering or Engineering DC 15:Highlight to display spoiler: {The best estimate based on Panzer's thought's and the angle and length of the rope before it was cut, is that he was in about 15' of water.}
None of these creatures that were attacking Panzer in the water emerge. Which seems odd if they are what Panzer thinks they are.
DM FYI - the rope would only be damaged by a slashing attack that hit his touch AC, and then I only gave it a 5% chance it would actually hit the rope. Silk rope has a hardness of 0 and 4 HP. That rope is about 3' shorter now.
Elyas (Ben A.) (95/97 HP | AC: 21; Touch:15; Flat: 18; CMD:15) Friday December 8th, 2023 2:35:33 PM
Elyas gathers the group up and splits them between himself and Beech. Ayotnom is able to fly, so they have Kiwina, Falco, Panzer, and Tsak . Elyas can take Kiwina with dimensional steps, and Beech should be able to Dimension Door the others.
We don't need to worry about whatever isin there if we just go over them! let's keep moving

Knowledge engineering 21 " I made it about 30 feet from shore and as best I could tell I was in 15 feet of water. It was really murky so I am not sure if it got any deeper. I guess I should have dragged one of those critters out, seems like they want to stay hidden under the water."
Beech (JohnC) AC 20(24)/15/15,HP 70/82 See Invis/Darkvision Character Friday December 8th, 2023 3:58:12 PM
Beech, has those 3 grab hold of his armor and casts the spell, taking the 4 of them across the water, and as he arrives, has the Dancing lights move down the hallway to light it up for those without Darkvision.
(moved the 3 who went with Beech, they can still act)

(Perception=27) Tsak holds tight as Beech flies half the crew across the lake. When he gets to the other side he turns and moves into the tunnel where he pauses, looks and listens to see whats what.

Ayotnom waits to see if his friend emerges or not. If he does and the party moves to the other side then he flies over there. If he doesn't then he prepares to get into battle.
DM Mark - "Seems like they want to stay hidden under the water." Monday December 11th, 2023 1:36:26 AM
Panzer, dripping wet and shivering a bit, draws weapons and is ready to attack the ghouls he assumes will follow. He informs his friends that the water was cold and murky, and he figures it was about 15’ deep where he was.
Mak readies an arrow to shoot anything else that emerges from the water.
Kwina prepares to cast Flare on anything that shows up. Likewise, Falco is ready to channel energy against the ghouls.
No creatures emerge from the lake, and the Petals resolve to avoid the lake altogether and discuss other ways to cross.
Elyas takes Kiwina across the lake to where Mak is using Dimensional Steps. Beech uses Dimension Door to take Falco, Panzer, and Tsak across. Ayotnom covers them, flying once the others are over.
With everyone across this lake, the chamber behind you remains quiet, as does the tunnel ahead. All you hear is the occasional drip of water, though the quiet does nothing to quell the dread of knowing there is a lake with ghouls in it right next to you. But after a minute or two, you conclude that these ghouls - or whatever they are - do not seem to be coming out after you.
In the stillness, your lights are reflected by the water’s surface and the glistening, damp walls and ceiling. This place has the earthy, metallic smell of damp stone and water.
(Congratulations! This was more a puzzle to figure out than a typical combat, and you figured out a way to solve it. Everyone gets a Hero Point!)

Falco smiles when his channel does its job so well and is glad for the lift over the water.
"That could have good much worse." He slaps Panzer the back. "Well done." CLW on Panzer for 6.

Elyas walks down the new path with the others, using his magical darkvision to watch for anything coming ahead of them
perception = 26
he is a little more cautious now, as he doesn't have a lot of innate teleportation left for the day

Beech is busy directing the dancing lights down the hallway, and getting his bow back settled, so as to be ready. "Maybe whatever was attacking Panzer, was restricted somehow to just being in the water, deep enough that they couldn't be seen from the surface."

Panzer thanks Falco for the heal and squelches his way up to the front to explore the tunnel ahead. He leaves wet footprints in his wake as he takes one side of the passage opposite Mak or Tsak or whomever else wants to be in front Perception 26

Ayotnom takes a look around (Perception:35)
Tsak waits where he is as the petals troop past and then takes up a place at the rear. He regularly checks behind to make sure nothing is following as the party makes its way further down past the lake.
