Baetrix gives the original 'Bog's Bane' a questioning look that may mean to say "Is that really what you guys are called?", but after a moment she shrugs and mutters "Not a bad name, really."
Onizos leaps to his feet and displays his cloak and leather vest which have been embroidered with “Bog’s Bane”.
“Yes, that name will do nicely for now, it will suffice. It’s actually my own personal title but I don’t mind lending it out to the whole group, just for today!” He gives a melodramatic wink to the crowd as he says this.
Elder Ushru chuckles at Gan, "Perhaps a bit of both today, but you're getting ahead of me"
"Come, follow me to the Black Islands"
He and Elder Colbu Kaz lead you down from the stage and through the crowd. You head south east towards the shore, the entire town in procession behind you. The streets echo with cheers and music. You reach a formation of jagged basalt islands that sits right at the mouth of the Ifolon River where it flows into the Emerald Gulch. You continue across various rope bridges until you reach the smallest island where you find the mouth of a cave.
Colbu Kaz goes around to each of you hands you a round bottle. In it is a green liquid with large bubbles continuously forming on the bottom of the class. "Potion of Water Breathing, it's magic will last one hour"
Ushru then turns his back to the cave entrance and faces the two teams. “You brave and valiant individuals have triumphed in many challenges this day; now, the final Test of Merit awaits you!” He pulls a palm-sized gold-and-emerald amulet from his robes, holds it aloft, and declares: “This medal’s twin has been placed in the deepest cavern of the Emerald Grotto. Be the first to claim the Emerald Eye and return it to this place to be declared Jigow’s Champions of Merit! Begin now!”
Igreis stays quiet as he moves to follow after the others, not commenting on the name since the only name he would he able to give was his small unit in the Dynasty's army. At the mention of having to swim he moves to ready his armor and weapons incase a fight breaks out.
Onizos takes off his backpack, retrieving from it his crowbar and rope, looping the rope about him and cramming the crowbar through the belt of his leather vest. He’s also got his curious little rod and a dagger. He then starts doing some ridiculous exercises to limber himself up.
As a group, you get the jump on the others. Dashing into the cave just as Elder Ushru finishes his speech. "Come on, lets go!" Ayo urges the others to start running.
On entering the cave, the narrow cavern quickly dead ends at a pool of water. You still get some dim light from the mouth of the cave and hear the other team clattering into the cavern.
You dive in to the dark pool. Once under the water, you can see that the pool continues on below the far wall. As you continue into the underwater cave the light that trickles in from the grotto’s entrance is blotted out by the thick patches of kelp that fill this underwater chamber. The tops of the kelp fronds brush the ceiling, but between the stalks you can spot a glimmer of light coming from farther ahead.
Everyone will need to make an Athletics check to quickly swim through the think kelp.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
As he gets towards the water Igreis will pause to take the potion and then seem to shimmer for a second. After an instant a shadowy figure appearance next to him, his echo now manifested. As the real drow makes his way toward the water the other does the same and follows him in.
Having trouble getting through the kelp, Igreis will send his echo thirty feet ahead of him and then with another shimmer the two will trade places as he teleports ahead.

Gan smacks angrily at the kelp as he swims towards the light. Bad enough we have to swim, but through weeds too, he thinks to himself. He inadvertently smacks his own arm as well and a little spark of lightning flickers in the water.

"Bog this," Gan mutters under his breath.
He steps forward with the others.
"So this here Emerald Grotto," Gan begins. "That a colour thing or we maybe retrivalize some gems while we is there?"
Elder Ushru chuckles at Gan, "Perhaps a bit of both today, but you're getting ahead of me"

Gan sighs when they're giving the water-breathing potions.
"Swimming?" Gan groans. "I had a bath last week. Or, hmm, maybe last month."

Gan looks down at the water and sighs.
"So I guess we is swimming," Gan says.
He pulls out the water breathing potion, drinks it all and dives in.
Onizos quickly follows suit.
Yabo enters the water, not taking the potion for now.
