As the party realise that there is only one way down, Jequine suggests that if they go down the chute, they should do it in a controlled manner. She has a rope which might help, "Do we have any magic which might help? I have a scroll which can help you breath under water. If I could climb down the chute without falling into the water, I might be able to give you some more details on what we face."

Kurgand adds to the consensus. "Let's get over to the chute, folks. I'd be willing to make it over there and take the first plunge - hopefully we can make our way without having to swim - but I can manage if we must." He taps the armor for emphasis on the difficulties for himself. The dwarf then makes his way towards the chute to see what they can do to cross down to the next level.
As you reach the chute, you look down it, and it plunges into water, it doesn't look like there are air pockets...the surface of the chute is the same metal, though a bit rougher as it is corroding more at the water level, due to the briny water you can now smell.

Jequine searches through her bag, "I did have some magical scrolls here, I don't know if any would help. "
Hmmm, what's this...no not that one...
Ohh! there we have it, I am such a lucky person, we have a scroll of magic which can help us breath under water, that would be useful..."
Jequine, brings out a scroll, covered in arcane writings and the occasional depiction of water and being walking under a wavy blue sky.

Sheridan puts out a hand to stop Kurgand. "One moment friend, if we are to follow this path it should be me who goes first - I can transform myself into something capable of swimming." He turns to Jequine "Your magic would be greatly appreciated. You may leave Gannertung unaffected - for now I will call something more suited to the water, and resummon him on the other side."

"One moment friend, if we are to follow this path it should be me who goes first.
Kurgand looks at Sheridan for a bit and shrugs. "Fair enough, Barlow. Lead on and let's hope it works." The dwarf takes on a defensive stance and watches the man go to work.
"Strange stuff indeed," he mumbles watch Sheridan's transformation and summoning.
They're out of range for underwater vision, reardless of lighting conditions, and I didn't say they were elementals, which they're not.

Sheridan pops his head up out of the water. "There's at least two big lobster-like things coming towards me. I'm assuming they're hostile, but I'll try talking to them." He pops back underwater.
Sheridan keeps his sword readied to strike back if attacked, and calls out in Aquan and then Draconic "Hello?"

Jequine is the 4th or 5th down the shute, at least after Kurgand and Valenos go down after Sheridan. In her hands are a rapier and a dagger, "Someone's gonna pay for getting my hair wet!!"
Once in the water she will try and get into a flanking position behind a creature, or if lucky get surprise on a creature.
Infernal
** spoiler omitted **Valanos will remove his armor, except his helm, and move down the chute.
You'll have water breathing from the scroll...
Amendment to earlier post: Valanos moves down the chute with all gear equipped and flail ready.
Valanos sinks to the bottom of the level, 20 feet down. feet firmly planted on the bottom. Though you feel the resistance of the water with every movement. The others float near you, more buoyant in their lighter armors.
Start of combat round, they are 30 feet from the group. Initiatives por favor.
1d20+6
Kurgand readies his axe to swing harder than usual - given his circumstances - on the lobster monsters.
He'll try deft swings of his axe when they attack.
1st Attack:
1d20+13-3
1d20+13-3*confirm critical*
Standard damage:1d10+7
Critical Damage:1d10;1d10
Damage total: 21/2 = 102nd Attack
1d20+8-2
Standard damage:1d10+7
Damage total: 13/2 = 6
Axe critical multiplier is x3 and you multiply your strength bonus as well, just not any precision based or magical effects.
SHERIDAN: You'll get your readied attack, but will be in combat for the summoning.
In seconds the creatures are upon you, not quite lobsters these creatures have tentacles trailing from their mouth area in addition to their claws as they tower 8 feet tall.Kurgand, Valanos and Sheridan are all ready for the attack striking before the creatures have a chance to strike. Kurgand's axe swings slowly but powerfully through the water, cathing Creature 1 off guard, drawing a thick blackish green ichor from the wound inflicted on it. Sheridan strikes Creature 2 with his attack stopping it in it's tracks, though the water elemental can't even hit the thing. Valanos standing on the bottom of the level swings a slow arcing strike that catches creature two as well. You feel a surge of divinity wash over you from above [i]Bless from Delwyn.[/i]
