Looking at Kakrish and Hoga... "You guys were a handful... What append, why didn't you trust us... Anyway lets move on... Kyzen moves toward de eastern door...
Maffei looks a lot distracted, as if she can't quite understand what append and the way she feels. She follows Kyzen to the door, but with an absent look on her face...
Hoga is confused by what happened, but shrugs it off and goes with Kyzen.
"Ok, let's move on. Hoga, are you going to open that door?"
You open the door and move into the next room. It is a small bare one. Thinking that there was nothing to see here, you are about to turn back when Kyras notice that the opposite wall hides a secret door. Making your way to it, you inspect it for traps and danger.
I'll leave it to Kyras, Hoga responds to Kakrish.
I'm just not sneaky.
Kyras works the mechanism to open the secret door.
Activating the mechanism of the secret door reveals another chamber. This time, the group is presented with the option of going straight toward the door on the opposite side, or right by the archway. In both case, whether you listen at the door or near the archway, you hear the tell tale sounds of water.
I hear water both directions. Kyras notes. Can anyone look for tracks on the floor?
Hernvet looks around the floor to look for tracks.
Hoga will try.
"Tracks? On the stone floor. I don't know how you can do that." Kakrish sniffs at the air. "I say we go to the right. Going straight ahead always causes problems."
Hoga laughs at Kakrish's observation.
True, my friend, but it's never boring.
Studying the floor, Hoga as a hard time finding anything. But, after a few minutes, he does see some scratches on the stone that would be consistent with the foot claws of Grioths coming and going. The scratches seem to be going from the archway to the door and back. Because of the hard surface of the floor, it is impossible to ascertain the time since the last time someone past here.
"The archway, right? I mean, it's on the right but right too. Right?"
Kakrish starts heading towards the arch.
Hernvet says "Right" and follows Kakrish
Hoga follows.
You walks pass the archway and heads toward the sound of water. You pass a small room, through a corridor and into a second room. The majority of this long chamber is taken up by a large, deep pool of water. Irregularly shaped ledges and an artificial island of stone rise from the waters. You see an opening across the room and you deduce that it lead back the way you came.
Hoga will look for anything of interest.
"Doesn't look like there's anything interesting here. Well. Maybe on that island there is something interesting. I'm going to go check it out."
Kakrish wades through the water to the island.
I'll keep an eye on you, warpriest.
Kakrish walks into the room and in the water. As he does so, the water starts moving his legs as if he was standing in a river. The difference however, is that there is no cause for it. After a few seconds, three shapes forms out of the water and turn to face the dwarf. They move as one toward the warpriest with what look like hostile intention.
Look out!
Hoga moves and attacks the nearest beastie.
As these three creatures form Hernvet says "Well ill be, I reckon you probably shouldn't get in that water Kakrish, I generally am not a huge fan of water but in this case particularly, Hang on and stay on that island maybe they cant leave the water."
Maffei moves in to attack the nearest elemental but sadly, her blade misses the target. The three elemental attack at the same time, but only the one facing Maffei manages to get a good strike. The attack of the other two just bounce harmlessly off the armors of their target.
Hoga finds this foe frustrating to fight. He's not sure he's even hurting it, but this is all he can do.
Hernvet moves closer to the shore and says "I'll help ya out Hoga"

Kakrish swings his sword at the water elemental in front of him.
Kakrish swings his sword at the water elemental in front of him.
Hoga second axe swing kills the elemental in front of him. While Kakrish gets a good on the is adversary, the creature remains alive to pursue the fight. Hernvet tries to offer support, but his starknife flies to high above the target.
Kyras moves up and strikes at the wounded elemental.
Kyras attacks the same one that Kakrish hit and almost finishes the elemental. Maffei launches multiple atacks with her blades, but only strike the target once. From near the entrance, Kyzen sends a blast of earth energy at the elemental that Maffei is fighting. The blast is on the target, and the damage seems impressive, but the elemental survive the attacks.
The two remaining elementals try to turn the fight in their favor but both Kakrish and Maffei are able to resist the attacks.
Hoga can't flank the dwarf, but he can move and take a swing at the elemental.
Kyras tries to finish one as well but misses badly.
Hernvet moves over to Kakrish and says "Here this'll help ya hit em" Hernvet then lays his hand on Kakrish's shoulder and casts Guidance.
Kakrish looks as Hernvet touches his shoulder. "Ha! Ha! That's exactly what I needed. Now all of you watch as I take care of this creature." Kakrish swings his sword at the elemental.
The last of the water elemental collapse back into the water. Finding nothing else of interest here, the group only way forward is the door that as yet to be opened.
