One hour passes... Then Two.... Then Two and half...
By the third, even Rimara couldn't help taking a peek down the hallway of hell to see if any of her companions returning or not. "Shit.. shitshitshit… What should I do, Mr. Whelm?" She asks her hammer; only to be met with silence. "You're right, Mr. Whelm. They probably got a little too roughed up, and decided to take it easy on the other side. Speaking of which, probably should do the same. TikTak. Guard mode."
In between fitful moments of sleep and guard duty(swapping with TikTak), Rimara prepares and recycles her previous concoctions following a long rest of her own. When she awaken all is ready. Or she's dead. But /if/ not dead, or worse, the duergar busies herself with final preparations! Clothes, weapons, jewelry, TikTak -- all our shuffled into her bag of holding by the time a now blue-skinned duergar(Dire Smurf?) guzzles down one last concoction and tosses the container behind her. "ReADy or Not, here I CoME!"She grins and veins began bulging against her skin, sclera turns from white to blood red.
Running up to the 35ft mark of she leaps for all her worth with bag in hand and a prayer to Mouradin unspoken upon her lips!

Rimara lands on the otherside all blisters and pain. Grinning, she weakly pumps the air and says, "I... I did it... Oh... these are gonna scar." Over the next few minutes Rimara gets dressed up, frees TikTak to cover her new wounds in one of his special salves, guzzles down at least two of her own remaining concoctions.
(@Crispy: Using 2 1st level slots for the above for sake of expediency)
Shaking off the surprise, Rimara breaks out Whelm and her dagger on her way to the next room. "Yep. That looks pretty deep there, TikTak." She says, walking up just close enough to peer over a the edge. Rimara then squints at any indent or pitons left behind from a previous crossing. "Now why would they -- I mean, its not even that far of jump. Unless... TikTak! Go touch that floor."
Over the next half hour or more(?), the duergar works out enough of the trap to go drag ghoul bodies out from the other room. Four bodies are thrown onto the spikes on her side. The others she throws onto the slip and slide to wind up forming another bed of bodies on the other side. "Hope that's enough. C'mon, TikTak. They can't be too much further now."She claims as she makes her way over to the left behind rope and pitons to use those as well to aid in her crossing.
(Just to get this out of the way. Note this is following a long rest)
When Rimara inevitably hits the crossroad having braved fire and death by a 1,000s razor blades, she takes out a gold piece. "Alright TikTak. Moment of Truth. Tails we go left. Heads we go-... What?" Tiktak stops shaking his head at her, and points to Whelm. "You're right, TikTak. I've just been so-..."She slings whelm onto her shoulder. "Over-WHELMED lately, I've hardly paid this little baby proper mind."TikTak blinks. "... You're no fun, you know that Tik?" She says, activating Locate Object to track down Violet's longbow.
"Ohh~ Crawfish! Wait! Focus, Rimara, Focus -- Oiiii! You guys okay down there!" She calls to the others.

Water not only flows through this room, it floats.
Entering a hole in the western wall, two feet off the floor, is a stream seemingly suspended in mid-air. It flows out of another hole near the northeast corner. The water is about three feet deep. You can see a few blind cave fish being carried along in the brisk current. On either side of the door are a total of six kayaks, each able to carry two riders, but there are no paddles to be found.
"Oh, kayaking. I remember the last time I went kayaking... just kidding. Anyways, let's get a move on, no?"
As he moves to grab a kayak, his hand glows with crystalline blue energy that gradually spreads over his armor and body, manifesting as the armor of agathys (2nd level, with racial feature).
He then holds a kayak in the water as he hops in and sends himself down the tunnel of love. If he can, he'll be dodging as he goes down the tunnel, otherwise he'll just be holding an eldritch blast for anything that tries to end his fun.
Kal is curious about the magical water flow, so he'll stick his finger into the stream. Does any splash out? Is there an invisible tube that the water is flowing through?
Suddenly, Kal'iente hears Rimara calling down from above. "Why yes, my dear, we're down here! Right where I expertly lead us, as planned! Come on down and join us!"
Once Rimara joins them in the room, Kal will point to one of the kayaks leaning up against the wall. "Would you be a dear and grab one of those for us? Let's go for a ride."
"So curious! So interesting."Rimara joins Kal's side to watch the flowing river. "Perhaps before we send ourselves down stream, if we could find some way to send one or two others ahead of us? Boats, I mean. To test what lies ahead?" As she says this, the duergar moves on to study the hole and see with maybe a boost can get her far enough over the lip to see what lay beyond it.

Debauchery looks distastefully at the kayaks, nodding to Violet. "Yes, let's send in the meat shield, first." The half-draw then moves forward, lifting Rimara into the air so that she can aid the duergar's investigation. "What have you found, little one?"

"Thanks, Dibbles! Hmm~ Seems to curve quite a bit up ahead annnnd -- There goes silvian… and nine. I'm gonna miss those two." Rimara pats Debauchery's hands, signaling to be let down. "Didn't even check to see to see if it was enchanted in some way... Aw well! Water doesn't seem too deep. But without paddles, gonna be kiiinda hard to avoid just getting swept up into anything if it picks up further along." She casually expresses.
"If its all the same to the rest of ya. Think I'll take my chances fording up the opposite end. See what I find. Probably nothing. But who knows! Here you go by the way, Lord Kal." Words practically fly out of Rimara's mouth as she went about dragging a Kayak over for Kal. As soon as he was inside, she picks them both over head and gingerly slides the two into the stream to be carried off. TikTak hangs out with him on the way. Whether he accepts the belated offer or does something else, with a snap of her fingers, Rimara disappears in a ripple of magic.
Only the sound of her exertions from climbing up and the initial splash of partially entering the stream near the western hole.
Athletics: 16(if needed to fight against the current).

Silvian and Nine take the current and drift quickly into AREA 24. There is a large Knight and 8 lesser knights in this room, ready to ambush you guys should you get off. They move forward to intercept you two. It's very difficult to paddle or move in any way other than the way the stream is flowing.
Silvian nimbly hops out of the boat, flourishing his sword in front of him. "A welcome worthy of a hero. Now let the hunt begin!"
As he says this, he draws his sword across his left forearm, but instead of blood leaking from the wound, inky darkness comes out instead, expanding to form a sphere of black night around him.
(If he gets a BA, he'll apply his hexblade's curse to the largest knight)
After the darkness is complete, he'll move to a random corner of the room and watch the knights.

"Sure. It's not like he can drown." (I think. He's got 70 billion immunities, I imagine that drowning is one of them.)
