Are you suggesting we swim down into that?
"Am I do not want to swim down there! Are there other options?"
Other than the occasional stirge poop dropping there is not a ripple in the pond...it's dead calm.
"So....swimming? Or do we prefer to wait, maybe explore a bit around the other areas first? I can prepare a spell to breath water in the morning."
let's do the second
So far. 1 level 3 spell 4 rounds of Bardic performance and I think 1 level 1 and 1 level 2. Spell.
So 4 level 1 1 level 2+2 Gallant inspiration and one level 3 spell left.
You know it's dark out by now but in the confines of the subterranean it's hard access time. The dwarves senses are more in tuned than the others and they know it's around 7 pm.
Malcolm is immune and anyone within 10 feet of him gets a +4 on save
The wise little dragon enjoy the calmness that surrounds the paladin and hangs in his aura. Kalim is barely within Malcolm and he senses the benefits.
Desmond nudges Grung out of the way with a stern look, then he moves forward leading the group. The twisting cavern corridor opens to a series of small alcoves. Torchlight cannot penetrate the darkness of these niches.
Using her ion torch, Feli silently humms a tune to fight of the opression around her.
Desmond stops at the wall of darkness. "Uhh, any help here?"
The group understands that they have walked into a burial crypt. The group makes their way through the sacred area when pure black creatures emerge from walls wielding dual short shorts.

Grung quick draws his weapon and lays into the foe directly next to him
knowledge religion
The four of you have battled similar creatures in the past at the monastery. You remember that they were very proficient with wielding their two short swords. They are best attacked by blunt weapons and good items.
Much more powerful than standard skeletons, these minions of evil are often employed as guardians or protectors to keep sealed some ancient knowledge best left undiscovered.
Black skeletons attack with two short swords in battle with little more than the intention of cutting their foes to pieces. They are intelligent opponents and will use tactics during battle, often sending several of their number against a foe's front, while the others move into position to flank their adversaries. Black skeletons are smart enough to know when the battle is lost and withdraw from combat, though rarely. Most simply fight to the death, driven by some unseen hatred for the living.
These creature look like a skeleton with glistening black bones, seemingly constructed of blackened steel. Small red pinpoints of light burn in its hollowed eye sockets. They each hold two short swords.
You can warn the others before Grung attacked.

Karnog draws his morningstar, looking at Desmond with a grin as he does.

Felicitas warns out to use blunt object to attack. So Grunt you can use your warhammer. You do hit with both attacks, and chucks of bone splinter off, but the creature is still standing.

Will saves vs the Karnog's channel saves are in same order as the actions above.
All but one made the save. although its enough damage that one skeleton that was battered by Grung has now crumbled to the ground in bits of shattered bone.
