The party descends into the water, slowly. Despite Ravarie's spell, there is still a strong instinct to not breathe in the water, and it's tough to fight against that. The water itself is quite cold, and takes a bit to get adjusted to. There is a beautiful serenity down there, though. They descend about twenty feet and then must decide which direction to go from there.

Before they enter the water, Dorias urges everyone to form a line abreast and to stay within touching distance, or else any sort of communication and coordination will be exceedingly difficult.
Once underwater, he points westward, in accordance with his original plan to sweep from east to west and then back again.

Ravarie nods in agreement with Dorias while keeping close to him and the rest of her companions. She keeps an eye out for some fish she can talk to.

The party, very slowly, makes their way westward. With the pressure of the water all around them, slowing them down, they move at around ten feet in a minute. Thus, after ten minutes, they've only walked 100 feet. The novelty of being underwater wears off pretty quickly, and the slow movement combined with the lack of conversation makes the whole thing seem pretty boring so far. However, the monotony is broken up when a shimmering school of fish approach, the sunlight gleaming off their silver scales.

Ravarie breaks off from the group, and heads for the swimming fish. She calls out to them to get their attention.

The school waits patiently for her to speak...

"We are here to try and figure out how many of your kind have died recently," Ravarie says. "Is there anything weird going on down here?"

Ravarie attempts to communicate with the school. The entire school speaks as one, which causes a strange, echoing affect to Ravarie. "Cave south. Dark. Beasts within with limbs, like you."

Ravarie's brow furrows upon hearing what the fish have to say. She says something else to the fish. "Thank you," she says to the fish. Once done, she turns to the group and points south.

The party turns southward and slowly walks another twenty minutes. Eventually, they come across a dark cave opening, leading underground. It's quite large, more than enough for any of them to walk in.

Ravarie nods to the rest of the party, and points to the cave. She is hoping that there is some air pockets in there so that she can tell them the rest of what she knows.

Sorrith gestures to himself and the others, then points at the cave entrance. Then he makes a questioning shrug.

Dorias nods at Kalana and begins moving towards the cave.

As soon as they enter the cave, four beings from deeper within swim toward the party. They are humanoid, covered in green scales with webbed fingers and toes. Two are armed with spears, the other two with tridents. One of them speaks, pointing his weapon at the party threateningly. However, his speech is all blurbs to the party's ears. =============
