Prelude
Monsssterss come frum abov massster
I dunno it looks awflee deep dark and wet, are ya sure ya wanna?
Summary
After some debate, the group decided to investigate the submerged temple which Alon had seen. The visiting priest cast waterbreathing on everyone but Alon (who didn't need it), then the group entered the cave.
The first room held a dozen ghouls, which were mostly dispatched by Arric and the might of the Blessed Attendant. The rest were put to the sword (or club). Once those were dealt with a half-dozen more swarmed out of a deep well and were dispatched in much the same way. After some searching, they chose to go down the hole.
At the bottom they were in a large circular corridor, which they started to explore in a counter-clockwise manner. They found two statues as they explored, both of men with tridents. One was labeled Magnus and the other Cleon. Magnus had a date of 1720 and Cleon 1620. Using the old reckoning, it meant Magnus was about 1500 years old and Cleon about 1400.
They eventually ran into some side corridors and began exploring. They encountered an Eye of the Deep, which was mostly stymied by Alon and BAMF both having Freedom of Movement and avoiding the hold power of its eyes.
In another room they were attacked by a waterfiend which they overcame. Finally, as Ropp worked on unlocking a door, a giant turtle attacked. It nearly bit BAMF in half, but was unable to grapple him (due to freedom of movement). With that tactic not fully working, the turtle was in trouble. It nearly finished the job of killing BAMF, but luckily Arric was able to heal him while he was only unconscious.
It was decided that with the time on their waterbreathing spell running out and a shortage of warriors, they should return to the surface and mount another foray once they were fresh and could perhaps bring reinforcements.
