"Well, we'll have a new mate come to play but I'm more than game for that! You ready lads?"

With that Nelburn moves close to the final door before turning to look for approval of him attempting to open the door.

       "Yeah, we need to figure something out," Tobias flanks the door opposite of Nelburn and gives the dwarf a nod. The eyes glow from his helm in anticipation of what should arrive.

(Initiative when needed 19)

Flint will shoulder his crossbow and prepare an attack for anything that is summoned. 

One nod from Tobias was all the dwarf needed. As he watched Flint shoulder his weapon he didn’t bother to wait for anyone else to comment, holding his hammer in his left hand he eagerly reaches for the door with his other hand and tries to open it.

Nam runs up behind the dwarf ready to absorb whatever element appears. "As soon as it appears, we will try to keep it busy. You work on getting the door open."

Opening the door...nothing happens. Nel finds a wave of damp hit him and the sounds of water dripping on stone ahead!

"Well that was a bit anticlimactic." Karnic says as he looks through the doorway.

       Tobias retrieves his torch from the suit of armor and pushes his way back to the door and peers in. He replies to Karnic, "Better to prepare for the worst and hope for the best. Besides, you hear that," he lets the sound of the water drip a few times, "there could still be an elemental danger within."

“Humph! All that for nothing” Nam walks behind the others into the room.

OOC: Famous last words.... How's everyone entering the cooridor? It's narrow, walking single file.

Flint would cover the rear, following behind with his crossbow shouldered. 

OOC: Tobias leading the way to our watery grave. Lol

The disappointment on Nelburns face is plain for everyone to see and he lets out a loud sigh to make sure anyone who hadn't noticed got the idea now. "Gettin' a fella all excited for nothin'. This place really is evil." He mutters to the rest.

As he notices the damp and hears water dripping he holds up his hand to stop Tobias as he prepares to enter first. "Look lads, your all fer knowing that I'm up for giving anything a shot but for once I'm the one that mighten be suggesting we take a precaution. That there be the sound of water and I've got a ritual in me book that lets us be breathin' water as well as air if you fancy taking the time for me to cast it before we go?"

Nam follows behind Tobias and Nelburn as they enter the room. “I really don’t like water” he says as a chill runs through his body.

       "I will not say no to a little extra protection." Tobias holds his advance through the door and allows Nelburn to cast his spell.

Nodding to Tobias Nelburn plonks down his spellbook and flips to the right page. Producing the piece of straw he had been using earlier while experimenting with his jug he carries out the water breathing ritual, letting the magic fall over the entire group as he does so.

Once done he puts the straw and his book away he says cheerfully: "Righty, like a bunch o' fishes with legs we are!" He then brings his warhammer up into a ready position and gives a nod to Tobias to show that it's all done.

Tobias enters first a chamber with a large pool at the center. The water gently rippling inside it as the rim of the pool glitters. The room itself is damp mixed with the scent of decay. It's cool as well as water drops from the ceiling on your faces, arms, and shoulders...seem fridged, nearly freezing. 

Flint will whisper to the others as steam leaves his mouth and nostrils, "I am about to light a torch just to get a little heat in here..." 

Flint sees the room although devoid of natural light had a faint blue glow from the pool at the center.

     Tobias holds his torch up above his head l to see if he can see the source to the dripping. "Where did we wander into to now? First the jungles, and now... what? The spine of the world?"
