Expedition: White Plume Mountain

The two men strain at the bottom of the pool, but between them they have enough strength to make the valve turn. Within moments the water begins to drain rapidly and if not for the safety ropes tied to them they would have been bashed around in the torrent at the bottom of the pool. After a few moments the room, and all the water in the connecting hallway, have drained.

With some help from the rope, and some scrambling, Boide and Taris scramble out of the dried pit.

Twenty feet down the hallway is an archway into the next room. It is a sixty foot square, extending twenty feet to Tolvaj's right and thirty to his left. Three are two exits in the northeast corner (ahead and to the right of the entrance). On, in the northern wall, leads to a stair case that climbs upwards. The one in the eastern wall is blocked by a closed wooden door. The floor of this room is covered with water.

Eithine plods forward, and after five feet almost steps of the ledge into a very deep pit. Apparently the middle of the room is actually a deep pool of water, and there is a narrow walkway around the outer edge.
