"Just hang in there, Brother man! Goin for the door." As Vruuk turns to the slab, seeing Dara start doing practically squats in the fast raising water, an indignant look is thrown the lizardfolk's way. "Da-raa! This ain't no time to play! Get over here and help me get this back up at least." Vruuk goes over to the slab and ready to lift the slab with assistance.

Pok'im mutters something that sounds like "Pok'im is kinda busy here" it is hard to make it out clearly given his face is mashed against the stone engraving.
As Ash and Vruuk manage to lift the slab, large amounts of water start gushing out from their room under the small opening, causing them to lose their footing and drop the heavy door as the water rushed past their legs
(Close but not quite, You guys can definitally be taking advantage of help though)
Darastrix blows a few bubbles while submerged due to the rising water and his own frustrations. It'd be twice in one day he'd be the one to request using the strength of the strongest of the brothers.
A quick surface glide and the lizard pops up next to Pok'im "Brother. I think we need your muscles to lift the door. Come on, show us only you can do it." Patting Pok'im on the back.
"Okey Dokey"Pok'im says as he pulls his fists out of the Dwarf engraving's eyes. He wades across to the stone slab, takes a deep breath before bending down sticking his head under the water and trying to lift the stone slab (Strength + Athletics test - 18) plus guidance from Darastrix (4). Pok'im stands up lifting the slab (?) spitting water from his mouth exclaiming "this water taste bad, Pok'im not know, or want to know, where it come from!"
Just as the water is nearly to the top of the cavern, Pokim is able to lift the slab up above his head, causing the water to lower enough for him to speak. The moment he opens the door however, everyone in the room is immediately swept out of the room and thrown towards the large spike pit by the intense current as a huge surge of water tries to push itself out the door.
Everyone roll me flat athletics or acrobatics checks!
So each of you manage to catch yourselves before being swept into the pit trap. Darastrix was able to leap across the pit while both Ash and Vruuk were able to grab hold of stones on the floor and hang on tight enough to prevent being pulled as into the pit as well. Darastrix stands on the opposite side of the pit while both Vruuk and Ash are prone near the very heavy stone door currently being help in place by Pokim. Now that the majoriy of the water has passed the weight of the door seems to increase and Pokim begins to struggle to keep it up. The water continues to flow around the legs of the bugbear and into the pit as it continues to pour out of the engravings. Ash staggering back to his feet, can see the book from the other bookstand floating past towards the hole....
(Ash make me a..... I honestly am not sure what the best check would be to grab the book floating past... a dex saving throw? Acrobatics? Slight of hand?... my guess is some kind of dex check...)
(Pokim, give me a athletics check to keep holding the door up / manouver out from under it without being crushed :D )
Pok'im (Athletics roll: 12) realising that he is starting to lose his grip on the slab yells out "POK"IM CAN"T HOLD THIS UP ANY LONGER - WATCH OUT" as he turns and manages to just (I hope) throws the slab to one side.
So the weight begins to force the bugbear down to one knee, water still rushing around his foot and leg... as Vruuk lunges but fails to grab the book as it floats over the edge and into the pit.
Darastrix may also make a reaction to seeing Pokim struggle
Darastrix just keeps his torch out the water for now so him and the horse don't get blinded by darkness

OOC: Indiana Jones this horse isn't. Not even BoJack Horsemen.
Ash helps Vrruk try to lift the door but I don't think a 16 is going to do it.
OOC: Someone FIND the switch.
Ash looks for a switch away feeling around the base by the book and again near the door. 5

If no one else is goin to do anything this round, the water will rise to about your chest.. somewhere in there :P

guidance for Pokim and help

Pok'im's Athletics check. 23
Pok'im manages to stand his ground against the rushing water, the slab he is holding above his head helping to anchor him in place.

Athletics: 17.
Vruuk rolls over, but gets his claws deep enough into the stonework to hold his ground near the edge.

Acrobatics: 18
Darastrix dives under the water as it attempts to carry him away, jumping out and over the pit to avoid falling in..

Ash manages to save himself (I guess no DC) but looks around for the book as well.

DEX check? 9

The book manages to just barely slip past your finger tips as you quickly drop to all four knees and lunge towards the floating soggy book.
***Vruuk can also make a save if he wants, Darastrix and Pokim are currently not in a position to grab it.***
Pok'im (Athletics roll: 12) realising that he is starting to lose his grip on the slab yells out "POK"IM CAN"T HOLD THIS UP ANY LONGER - WATCH OUT" as he turns and manages to just (I hope) throws the slab to one side.

(If Pok'im fails his check, I'd like a turn before you crush him)
(Not sure a 12 is enough to throw it aside... maybe yourself though out of the way!)
"I got it, I got it!" Vruuk tries to snatch it up the book with his long arm.
Sleight of Hand: 12.
"I don't got it!"
