Down, down you go with pick and spade into the rocky soil. Almost three hours past, and 10 feet of ground, when your pick hits wood. Clearing it off you find a large layer of wood planks below.
Sassarra will ready herself to fry anything that appears to be hostile as the other pry up the boards.
The removal of the wooden planks reveals a sinkhole descending into the rock. It drops thirty feet to the still, dark surface of water below. The broken remnants of a wooden platform and stair cling to the wall, but the structures themselves have long since rotted away and dropped into the inscrutable depths.
Zaaka will tie off a rope to a tree above so that they can lower themselves into the water.

Skrelznit salutes sharply.
Cap'n-k-k-k! I asks for the honor of descending firstly-k-k-k.
He casts Monkey Fish on himself and climbs down to five feet above the waterline (if possible, otherwise as close as he can get), unless prevented. He does not need the rope and does not use it, preferring to leave it as an emergency measure or for another crew member.
(+1 vs. Traps)
Zaaka will drink one of the potions of water breathing we got, climb down and put on his swim fins. (assuming we are not immediately attacked)
Sassarra will pass a potion of Water Breathing to Quinn, but she doesn't need on for herself, she'll then climb down.
Quinn drinks down the potion before joining the party in the water.
After swimming down, no light can be seen. The cave carves to the south-west.
Moving into a cavern, you can see a path to the west that turns south, and a path to the north that turns west, but also slopes up.
Sassarra will let Skrelznit take the lead. He's got cave experience. She will gesture that we should all go quietly.
Slowly sneaking up above the waters level, your lungs switch from breathing water to cool air. The chamber feels cold, and your breath shortens; like there was a wight on your chest. The floor is sand and a few items of furniture are scattered about, including a table, a poorly repaired chair, a bed with a sagging frame, and a crude fence of driftwood in the rear of the chamber. The entire cavern is overgrown with vines bearing tiny violet flowers that fill the room with a cloying fragrance.
The vines are Xtabay. They are carnivore plants that use their pollen to put their victims to sleep.
Skrelznit sees a hand floating in a glass jar, and a box under the bed. He can also tell there is something tiny under the bed's sheet.
The room is starting to fill with pollen from the 8 of the plants he sees.
Hearing Skrelznits words, Quinn quickly cast Guidance on Skrelznit. She then drops her head back below the water line.
Zaakara will head in to begin chopping at the vines with his tail.
Sassarra will start targeting the furthest flowers.
Zaaka and Sassarra strike down two of the plants.
Zaaka and Skrelznit shake off the plants pollen.
Zaaka spins around, chopping off all of the flower heads, cutting up the vines and stamping on them.
Sassarra begins checking out the other items for problems as well.
No one finds any traps.
Pull back the sheet, Skrelznit finds a wand.
Wand of web (17 charges)
In the Box Skrelznit finds three potions of water breathing, with a note under them saying to remember to restock before running out.

Do you also want the hand in a jar?
We are kobolds. Do you even need to ask? Of course!
This is clearly a wand of earwax removal-k-k-k. See how the tip ends in a little blunt hook-k-k-k?
Skrelznit proceeds to show the crew the proper way to use a wand of earwax removal.
When his ears are properly cleaned and sanitized, he turns his attention to the hand in a jar.
"Quinn, can you see if it does anything more than clean ears?"
"When used it can shot out webs."
Then we will turn off to the south.
You find your selves in, what looks like, a underwater group bedroom. Right next to the room is a 2nd room. From the 1st room you can see weapon stands.
a tunnel heads far to the south.
Skrelznit does not see anything interesting in the bedroom, but he can just see some type of large Crab hiding in the silt; ready to attack anything coming near..
Zaaka loves crab. He'll gesture form he and Skrelznit to stay just out of his reach and then have Sassara zap it. He'll gesture to see if the others like this plan.
When they're in place, Sassarra fires at the crab.
Round 0:
When they're in place, Sassarra fires at the crab.
Sassarra fries some of the crab.
Round 1:
Round 1:
Skrelznit cast a spell as the crab rushes at Sassarra.
Sassarra ducks under the claw.
Round 2 start:
Zaaka's tailblade lashes out as the crab rushes past him to his cousin.
He follows it up with a flurry of stabs.
Sassarra holds to see if the others can finish subduing dinner.
Round 2:
Zaaka, Skrelznit, and his friend rip apart the crab.
End of combat.
The parts of a very large dead crab lays there.
"We eat well tonight!" she says as she waits to hear what Skerlznit says about the room.
skrelznit finds a masterwork trident inside the crab.
inside the room is 10 broken tridents. Two more tridents are in good condition.
"It looks like south is the only way to go." she says. "Lead on!"
Round 0:
You come in the room seeing two fish people with tridents, and a shark.
Sahuagin
Hammerhead Shark.
Sassarra calls on the power of the storm to blast at the shark.
= 36 points of damage.
Zaaka swims forward using his fins and barrels into the nearer fishman as a big spiky ball.
