North Passage

[badams30]

Grimes - FIghter

Grimes quickly dresses and gathers his equipment, and flips his coin toward Shae and Castinus. "Here you go, Casty. Buy your gal something nice. Her demeanor is as appealing as the muck." He smiles and taps his sword on his boot, and marches onward to the front, pausing to pat Furuk and Fleshy on the backs "Nice work fellas!"

The party heads north, happy to be on dry-ish land again. You peer into the room at the end of the tunnel, as there is no door.



The room is filled with water, but for a walkway, a continuation of the floor you're on, that extends to the west on the south wall and along the west wall and again on the north side. There is a gap on the west wall that will have to be taken care of. You have no idea how shallow the water in the room is. To the north there is are a set of stairs leading from the room going up. On the east wall, far north, you see a door although there is water between it and the walkway.

Castinus scowls at Grimes' comments, then starts searching the area near the gap in the path for secret doors, contraptions, hidden drawbridges, etc.

Grimes - FIghter

Grimes comes up behind Castinus and gives him a pat on the back and says "Awww, lighten up, Casty. Lemme' help ya. And relax, will ya? I'm not after your gal. She's not my type..." And he'll help search, warily eyeing the doorway and any exits. He says "Keep an eye on the water, Furuk, will ya?"

Shae - Fighter/Mage

Shae smiles at Grimes' constant comments that she is Castinus' girl. Stealing a quick glance to see Castinus' reaction, she returns her attention to the room. Looking into the water, she ties her dagger to her silk rope and checks the depth. She also tries to determine how far the water receeded by checking the high water mark on the walls and eastern door.

Dieter - Mage

Back up folks, I may have a solution to this quagmire. Once they do: Dieter pulls out his scroll of wall of stone and casts it to form a stone wall 1h x 10w feet starting at the grid in front of where the walkway ends and ending 2 feet in front of the door in the corner. Hopefully the stone is strong enough to hold it's shape. That should be 800-900 of the 1000 cubic feet permitted.

OCC: Scroll deducted.

Einar, Thief

Einar backs away at Dieter's request and watches the mage. "Are you going to drink it dry?"

So are you hoping to cover nearly all of the water with a new stone covering, one foot thick?

Dieter - Mage

OCC: I'm thinking only along the walkway to hopefully create bridges over the water. The stone would stop 1-2 feet in front of the door in the corner to keep from blocking it closed in case the door opens outward. The black area in the image below details the anticipated route:

Shae tosses in her attached dagger, which seems to hit bottom about ten feet down. The water marks on the wall are a good foot above the walking area, so you estimate it to be about as deep as it was in the passage you just left.

When Shae pulls out the dagger it seems to catch on some seaweed. The water is still very murky and green here and the water has some sort of seaweed in it.

Dieter pulls out his scroll and casts his spell. Seemingly from above, the shadows of stones appear, each falling and hitting the ground/surface of the water and then solidifying, as if a God-child is placing them.


The blocks fill the space as Dieter imagined they would and it appears firm enough to walk on.
