You open the southern door in the hidden tunnel. going through you find a hallway. You are at the end of the hallway, and see it is more an alcove than a hallway after a moment's look. Once the door is open...
A faint, melodious sound comes from ahead. It is difficult to tell whether it is someone singing or the echoing of dripping water in a great cavern.
The room is lit by a soft light that reveals a section of rocky beach. Beyond the beach is a pool of glowing water, filling half the room and framed by a crystal cavern. Green fronds can be seen in the pool. Light seems to flow from everywhere, the pool and walls glistening like soft moonlight. On the far side of the pool is a set of doors carved with a sun symbol.
Sitting on the beach in front of the crystalline pool is a woman, young and slim, with long golden hair and pale white skin. She radiates a soft silvery light even through her shawl, white as the froth of waves. She is singing a strange melody in an unrecognizable language. After finishing her song, she enters the water in a long, arching dive.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Rik is taken aback by the beauty of the room - the crystalline glow rather reminds him of home. He’ll try and echo her song in Sylvan, to see if she is feyfolk and they share a language, and if she’ll come back and talk to them.
Rik will kneel on the edge of the beach - making sure not to get his clothes wet after Sinsil kindly prestidigitated him clean - and speak to the lady in the pool.
In Sylvan:
Bella Donna! How wonderful to meet another of the fair folk! We have arrived in your home rather by accident, I am afraid. We were tasked to investigate Tamochan and it’s shrines by out patron, but a cave-in deposited us here without a way back to the surface. Might you be able to offer any advice, or information that could aid us in our plight? And yourself? How did you come to find yourself here? I hope you do not find it too lonely a life for one as comely and clement as thee - is there any aid we can offer in return?
Shieldbiter, not understanding what is happening grabs a seat on the ground next to the water, tossing small peoples along the water. He is intentional to listen to the tone of the conversation despite not understanding it.
The secretarian's eyes light up at the sight of the young woman. "A client!" he murmurs to himself. He walks slowly along the edge.of the pool, trying not to disturb the conversation or their host as he drinks in the details of the room.
"You speak very well..." The female says to both Cas and Rik, glancing between you for a long moment. "I can aid you in getting out of this place, but I would need one of you to stay with me, since it is indeed very lonely here..."
As Sinsil moves towards the doors the woman will glance in that direction, but make no move to stop her. She stays near the center of the pool as she talks to Rik and Cas.
Zubin frowns thoughtfully. "I do not wish to intrude upon such pleasant conversation," he calls to his Sylvan-speaking companions, "but she seems immune to the effects of the toxic air. Would you inquire how she manages such? Does it not settle into and pollute her water?"

Zubin notes the dragonborn's confusion and takes a closer look. "Is there a catch?"

Cas tries to identify the sound as he scans the area for traps
Perception: 14
So far this session I have hit my teammates twice, flat-out missed 3 times, and only hit the enemy twice. Trust me, you don't want to borrow my dice.
Sinsil will take a peek for more hidden doors.
Investigation 19
Shieldbiter will slowly make his way down the hallway hoping to make up for his embarrassment on that door:.
Perception 14/11
Investigation 10/11
“Maybe I just need some nourishment,” he says as he takes his flask out, raises it to his lips, and takes a long swig.
As a bard, would Rik have advantage to identify whether it’s a sung melody or otherwise?
Investigation:
You do not find any traps. The sound is maybe a bit more like singing, but it is still hard to tell.
There does not seem to be any more hidden doors here.
You definitely recognize it as a song.
The group moves cautiously into the room ahead...

Hearing the song, the figure comes back to the surface.
In Sylvan...
"It has been some time since a traveler has come upon my home..." The woman says in a musical voice. "Why comist you here?"
Rik will kneel on the edge of the beach - making sure not to get his clothes wet after Sinsil kindly prestidigitated him clean - and speak to the lady in the pool.

Cas, understanding the woman's words, replies:
"We were traveling through this area when we fell through a hole in the ground, and are now trying to get out, can you help us?"

Sinsil will avoid the woman if she can and move to the door and take a look around.

The doors have keyholes, but, upon inspection, are not locked. There also appears to be no traps on them.
