To Prove D&D Exists for Echolon

"Do folks like me see you, say on the other side?  Is it darker, hotter or colder over there?  Where does the grass come from?"

 "Down and dark, then light again with crawlies and grass, then dark and up, then here again."

Tommary notices that there isn't much of a barrier keeping the water in place - no invisible pipe or chute, it just flows through the air.

OOC: Are there any loose bits or bobs laying around? Toots Perception: 9 

Gazing up at the water in the air, Toots marvels. “It’s almost as if we’ve been transported to another plane of existence or something. At least there aren’t any mother******* snake as on this mother******* plane.”

OOC: Are there any loose bits or bobs laying around? Toots Perception: 7 

 Occasional bits of algae, sand, and feces, maybe a shred of a leaf of some sort.  

"So I think it's telling me there's some sort of wet land on the opposite side of the loop.  Only describes "crawlies" I'm guessing bug, and grass.  Not going to presume it has a complete grasp on the environment over there, seems like it just goes with the flow, eating what it can.  So surf's up for this slipstream, Ilyra?

OOC:  If we go into the drink before I check in, I'll leave it to DM to determine whether Tommary finds the ride worthy of going "Wooooooooooo!"  

"We've got boats, and you've got big strong human arms.  Why not use those?"

"Does ask the question, how are we gonna get up in there once we get in em?"

 OOC:The boats? You would just crawl into them, no roll needed.

OOC: Oh, I thought the stream was over our heads, posing a condundrum of how we ride boats several feet into the air tlll we get pulled instream.  Otherwise, LET'S DO THIS!

So who again is getting in the kayak with Tommary?

OOC: Ilyona is. Toots called shotgun in Ely’s boat.

OOC: Ilyara's accompanying Tommary, yes.  Man, I really needed to do a little more research before diving in here.  Next time Rei, don't pick a PC name that's, like...three letters off of another PC E_E

 Tommary helps Ilyara left the kayak into the stream then helps her in.

With a leap that makes mounting anything look easy, Tommary jumps into the craft as well. The current swiftly carries them into the hole and out of sight. The passage begins somewhat like this but without the pirate music and such - between about the 3:00-4:00 mark. There are two steep water splashing drops.

A short while after Tommary and Ilyara disappear you hear him call out "WOOOOOOOO!"

After a minute of travel through a darkened passage, Tommary and Ilyara emerge into a huge rectangular chamber well lit with torches. The room is divided into four consecutive levels each 10 feet lower than the one before it. Tommary and Ilyara are floating on the top which is filled with water kept in place by transparent walls. The next level down is dry, the level below that is also water filled, then the bottom level is dry. Each level is populated by creatures of different types.

You notice immediately that there are large armored creatures sharing your bit of space and they begin to move in your direction.

"well, shiver me timbers, wasn't expecting this, I mean, I know my source was fishy, but still...."

OOC: 1.) These armored scuttlers are aquatic swimming toward us or are there like motes of land or the water's shallow enough for them to stand in?  2.) I'm presuming my 10 minutes of Speak with Animals is used up?

 OOC: A combination of crawling and swimming - like shrimp. You still have speak with animals up. 

"Ahoy friends! We in our craft mean no harm to your home.  If you accept our peace we may welcome your guidance."

OOC:  Is there a current?  If so is it taking us around the land or more directly to the next outlet?
