Welcome to the Western annex of the dungeon! It's probably the strangest of the three, and it offers some exciting fights!
Through the Western door is a passage similar to the room you were in, colorful with flagstones dyed in pastel hues and an orange glow from the hanging sconces. The floor quickly becomes submerged in over a foot of clear, potable water in which shimmering fish dart around your ankles. The passage travels northwest for about 50 ft, then turns to the left. Anyone travelling the passage must make a DC:15 Dexterity save.

Holding his spellbook above his head, Dennis looked down at the fish swimming in the water below. "Reminds me of the Jade Port. They had fish just like these."

Alexandria lagged behind the others, but once she looked up (from looking at the floor), she stopped and admired her surroundings. A moment later she moved again, making way to the water.
”For a volcano there is a lot of water...” She comments idly, going to try her hand at making through the passage.

DEX: 24
I'm assuming the DEX save is because the path has like a foot of water on it. Since Yuno passed her DEX save, she will quickly try to catch Raven or move her out of the way of any incoming traps. Basically I want Yuno to give Rave advantage on her DEX save.
How exactly she does this (Catching Raven if she begins falling or tackling her to prevent her from getting hit by any traps) subject to change depending on the result of the failed DEX save.

Halfway down the hall the ground begins to sag under every step. Noticing this immediately, Yuno grabs Alexandria's hand and sprints forwards, making it across just in time.. With a splash, the floor breaks and Dennis disappears under the water. Alexandria reaches out to save him and grabs hold of his spellbook, which he has maintained a tight grip on. A swarm of fish with grey scales and red underbellies swims up from below and devour a few of the shimmering cave fish. You're next!

Alexandria stared wide-eyed at the water that seemingly sucked Dennis underwater. With a rush of adrenaline she tries to get a hold of him, managing to grab at his spell book that he adored hoping that he was still holding on to try and pull him out of the water.
Strength: 3 (or Atheletics: 11)
No matter the out come she turns her head to Yuno. “Help me!”
She would have to thank her for basically saving her life later, now they needed to get Dennis out.

RP: Yuno sees the fishes coming. She seems to hesitate a bit as she looks at Raven and then back the fishes. She lets out an low, almost inaudible growl before helping Raven.
((Looks like despite all odds our girls are better at strength than atheletics lol, girl powah!!))

(So, I'm assuming Yuno used her turn in trying to help Raven. If it's not too much trouble, can the DM post who has yet to take their turns that round once per round?)

Sputtering, Dennis hauled himself out of the water with the help of Alexandria and Yuno. "Thanks," he said as he coughed out some more water. Turning his attention to the fish, he opened his slightly damp spellbook and prepared for combat.
Initiative:20
[Assuming that Yuno and Raven's combined strength rolls were enough to pull Dennis from certain doom, I have proceeded with initiative. I can always retroactively add the check for Dennis if the DM wants to.]

OoC: It sounds like Alexandria and Yuno used their turns to help Dennis. The quippers used their turns to attack harmless fish, so we are starting a new round now.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
The fish bites at Yuno's neck and she quickly pulls it off and it goes back into the water. A stream of blood runs down Yuno's shoulder but... she beings laughing maniacally. With a swift tug, she rips her skirt off and underneath you see she has a rapier and a battle axe strapped to her thighs. She unsheathes both of them and violently attacks the fish that attacked her.
Battleaxe: 26 Dmg: 11 Rapier: 26 Dmg: 6 Extra attack: 74 (This one is damage btw)
Sneak attack if I have an ally next to the fish. 4
Crit Damage: 1 + 6
Yuno stabs into the fish with her rapier and then brutalizes it with two hits from her battle axe, fish blood splash on her face as she laughs even harder. She finally speaks, "I was beginning to think I wouldn't ever be able to drop the act." Her voice is no longer the sweet and soft voice she had before. It is now much rougher and pitched.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Upon hearing the maniacal laughter coming from Yuno, Alexandria turned her head and watched as the no longer innocent woman, ripped off her skirt. For that split second, Alexandria’s heart skipped a beat.
”Oh. Hell. Yes.” She says with a wicked smile, turning back to the stupid fish and casts ray of frost.
((I’m on mobile so I’m going to try and do combat rolls manually lol))

Yuno surveys the situation (one of the fish swarms should be heavily damaged if not dead). She touches the wound on her shoulder left by the fishes with her two fingers. Blood gets on her fingers. She says to the other party members, still in her more rough and sinister voice, "You two can take care of rest of the fishes can't ya? I'd be ashamed to call you men if you can't. BWAHAHAH!"
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
As Yuno tore one quipper swarm into shreds, Dennis had snapped his book shut. "This might be easier than expected," he said. "All men must die." A gong sounded as Alexandria's ray of frost hit the other quipper swarm.
The Quipper Swarm must succeed on a DC 16 Wisdom saving throw or take 18necrotic damage.
[Assuming Yuno attacks Quipper Swarm 2, her total damage is 37, provided that either Alexandria, Dennis, or Rowan is within 5 feet of the Quipper Swarm. This takes out Quipper Swarm 2. Dennis delays his action until after Alexandria attacks, gaining that upgrade to d12s instead of d8s for toll the dead.]
(Blood Frenzy. The swarm has advantage on melee attack rolls against any creature that doesn't have all its hit points.)
(Resist.Bludgeoning, piercing, slashing)
*When a swarm is below half HP, its damage is halved.
The quippers circle you menacingly as the water becomes stained with blood. The hungering fish enter a frenzy and leap at Yuno, who has started to bleed from the last wave of attacks.

Attack 1: 17 Dmg:8 Attack 2: 26 Dmg:7 Wrong dice but I missed so it doesn't matter. Sneak Attack:3
Crit damage: 3 + 4
Another Attack (Bonus Action): 8 Dmg:7
RP: The fishes swarm Yuno and bite all over her body. She shakes violently and the fishes are sent flying, taking bits of skin off with them. The bloodied and scarred Yuno, still with a menacing grin on her face, swings her axe and slices through a bunch of fishes in the air. Then she skewers the rest of the fishes with her rapier.
(I'm assuming all the fish are dead) with all the fishes gone, Yuno puts her weapons back and says "Ah! It feels good to let loose and kill."
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Dennis watched as Yuno tore through the swarm attacking her. Seeing a few fish swim behind her, dodging her attacks, he lifted his hand once more. "All men must die."
Quipper Swarm 2 must succeed on a DC 16 Wisdom saving throw or take17necrotic damage.
[Doing some math here, I've figured out that Yuno is only doing half damage, which probably means there's a resistance to physical damage on the quipper swarms. Assuming that's true, quipper swarm 2 is still alive. If that isn't true, then Dennis targets Quipper Swarm 1.]

"This place is beautiful." She says, with wide eyes filled with awe.

The carnivorous fish leap thrashing from the water to bite at you, and the blood that falls into the water seems to invigorate them.
