The Forge of Fury

Bel hurries back to the others. “Hey guys, you might want to check this out” as he tells them what he saw.

Aregarak will follow Bel 

Lana finishes gathering her stuff and begs for Spirit to come on and leave the water and fish alone. "Come girl no more time for that" she said to her feline companion. Following Bel and Aregarak.

Assuming you follow Bel back to the same spot...the following is for people who have darkvision.

You are standing on a narrow ledge on the north side that overlooks the river. A sturdy bridge of stone spans the river, leading to a larger ledge on the south side that follows the course of the river to the east.

The cavern goes on for some ways to the east, and there looks to be a short flight of stone steps to the south. 

It's very dark in this cavern, and thus I'll need to know if Aregarak or GB has lit another torch? And if so, who's holding it?

BG has a torch and ask Aregarak if he needs one too.

"You need torch?  GB cautious not to fall but can at least fly...big guy not so much..."

"Big Guy need both hands to swing his sword, harder to do when carrying a torch, I will be good for now"

"Which way do you guys want to go, I think we should hurry no one wants to be fighting anything across that bridge and the torch may be bring unwanted attention" she tells them.

“I say we head for the stairs” he says. “I will cross first, then toss my rope so we can get everyone across”

Crossing the sturdy stone bridge is an easy matter, and can be done with no difficulty. The water rushes angrily beneath your feet as you cross, but cannot touch you.

The short flight of stone steps leads down to a wooden door that stands half-open. Dark, stagnant water pools in the small landing at the base of the steps and in the doorway, presumably filling the room beyond as well. The area smells of rot.

GB attempts to see what he can from the torchlight.

"GB smells something most foul.  Death."

Perception 19

GB and the others can see murky water. It's got a layer of scum that pools on the sides, looks to be about 5 feet deep. To see into the room will require the waterlogged, wooden door, at least half of which is underwater, to be pushed open.

Aregarak will go and attempt to push open the door

[STR check: 19]

The door is easily pushed open by Aregark, and creates eddies that swirl and froth with scum.

In the torchlight, Aregarak can see that the room, or perhaps wide passage, is about 20 feet wide and extends further than 40 feet. It is well flooded, the rank, stagnant water looking to be a uniform 5 feet deep. 

Aregarak can see nothing at this point in the room, other than support beams on the sides about 20 feet in, and the still water.

GB annoyed that he is in the water pushes past Aregarak and pokes hi torch and head into the room to study the surrounding and search of any noticeable traps or beasties.

Perception 21

"Maybe we can find something to get us out of this wet?"

GB notices signs of traps or creatures. If there were any living things in this area, they likely either evacuated when the flooding started or else died from the disease inherent in stagnant water. 

GB continues into the room and whisper shouts back to his companions;

"Empty."

"Do we need to proceed any further in to this stagnant mess? Perhaps we should just continue to follow the river..."

Bel heads down to assist GB.

Perception 6

Standing just inside the doorway, Bel can see to the back of the room—60 feet long and 20 feet wide. There seems to be something floating in the back corner, bobbing just slightly from the disturbance created by Aregark's pushing the heavy door open. It's hard to make out, even with darkvision (the light from the torch falls short of illuminating the object for you). 

“There is something up ahead” he tells them as he makes his way through the muck.
