Jurgen asks, "Does anyone have a big blast (AOE) that we could throw in there? Unfortunately, I do not." 

Bryony shakes her head. "I bought a bunch of ball bearings in Phandalin though," she says. "If we spill them, they'll have trouble standing up and start falling down all over the place! I also bought oil so we can spill that and light it on fire too if we want."

Ruven relays what he's seeing through the lizard's eyes as he crawls along. Once he sees the enemies in the cavern, he'll send the lizard back the other way, down the hallway to the left.

"I picked up a [Tooltip Not Found] back in Phandalin, just in case we needed to blow something up. If we light that and toss it into the room, that thing'll blow."

Quinn pauses to assess that thought.

"Though the blast could attract more of them. Or blow me up in the process."

Ruven's lizard backs out of the cavern and tries the other direction, where it finds a debris-choked corridor and a closed double doorway north.

Boona (still holding her torch?) wanders into the hallway. She peers down the stairs to the west, where she sees a large, black, still pool filling much of a natural cavern. The water is dark, revealing little of what might lie within. The shore of the pool consists of a thin layer of broken shells from strange, pale mussels. A fishy odor hangs in the air from that direction.

( Torch, yes.)

Ruven steers the lizard toward the door, looking for a crack that the lizard can squeeze through.

Found a door up ahead...let's see what's behind it.

Jurgen smiles at the idea of blowing up something but realizes that would indeed bring more trouble our way. 

Ruven finds that the door is well-sealed and quite lizard-proofed.

Ruven utters a curse, then pushes on further down the hall.

Ruven's lizard finds the way west to be completely blocked and choked with debris.

Boona looks wistfully towards the water but stays where she is for now.

Ruven brings the lizard back to them. Well, we have water to the west, enemies to the north-east, and probable enemies behind a sealed door to the north-west.

Where to? What next?

Boona nodded seriously Ruven and then plodded down the steps towards the water....

Boona wanders down the stairs to examine the dark, still, fishy-smelling pool. Her feet crunch the broken shells of the strange, pale mussels. 

She can see a glimmer of her torch against parts of the back wall, and (very dimly) what looks like a natural pillar or half-submerged stalactite. A sluggish stream flows from the cave to the northeast.

Jurgen and Draco will join Boona

Bryony stays close to Boona. She brings out her torch and examines the water, trying to determine if there's anything in there. Hopefully not another giant octopus though.

Perception - 20

Bryony finds the water too dark to see much of anything. It seems to drop off quickly – the water seems quite deep just a couple of feet from the shore.

Jurgen's good eyes can see more of the contours of the cavern.

Boona picks up a mussel shell and goes to throw it out above the waters surface....
