The group rests and forms a plan. Airy Water is cast for the group and Barada cast Water Breathing on Himself and Reza. Since they both have free action they will be able to attack beyond the Magic bubble. Dalliance casts Poly-Morph self and the group heads for the edge of the lake.
10 of the fish people are waiting and they cast 10 blue lightning bolts. Although they are illusionary some still believe and take damage. As the group drops down into the water 5 Giant Crawfish start zeroing in. Dalliance uses her wand of fear and all but one flee.
There is a sink hole in the bottom corner of the lake and the Rod of Barada pulls towards it. The group heads for the hole. They descend 300’ feet to a large room that opens beneath their feet. A truly huge Crawfish attacks...

…recovering from the predation of the leeches, the group peers down a large sinkhole and wonders what lies at the bottom. ‘Doom’ is offered as a possibility, so the group decides to venture along the twisting passages formed by ancient waterways. After some (long) time, a chasm is reached.
Reiza’s boots of Striding and springing are lent to Lord Lubboch, who leaps the chasm with a rope. Upon landing, he is entangled in the adhesive tongue of a Cave Fisher, which immediately starts reeling in its prey. Dalliance detonates a fireball in front of the rock outcropping that shields the lizard from the party’s view and manages to ‘convince’ the creature to let go of Lubboch.
Lubboch is unamused with his status as food, and leaps the chasm again, stabbing the poor, hungry creature right in its h...

After killing the blind warrior the party hears a woman’s voice screaming from behind a locked door. She yells for someone named “Icar” to let her loose. The party speculates that she might be referring to the sightless fighter. Dalliance (MU 11) converses with her through the door. Dalliance tells her that the party has killed everyone inside.
