Expedition: White Plume Mountain

Eithne starts to skirt around the edge of the room, then Boide steps forward and peers into the pool. There is a splash as two nude women surface in the middle of the pool. They wade there, staring at the dwarf, then one of them smiles, and a tail made of seaweed lifts up from below the water surface (and clearly belonging to her) and gently beckons Boide forward, "Come swim with us." they say in unison.

Boide starts to inspect his pack, ignoring the two maidens in the water. They seem visibly frustrated at his ignoring them.

The seaweed-tailed merwomen dive back below the water's surface. Eithne shrugs, and carries on her way - then notices that the walkway is abruptly interrupted along the left hand wall - there's about a ten foot gap.

Boide heads back to the globe room and recovers the lead discs on the floor. The door, as he enters the room, predictably closes behind him... but he was smart enough to bring the key along and easily lets himself out. Twenty or so minutes later he regroups with the party at the edge of the room with the pool of water and the seaweed women...

Eithne is able to do so with relative ease, and crosses the ten foot gap to the other side of the walkway. Then, she continues on her way around the outside of the room. She reaches the doorway opposite the door they came through, and again, her keen senses pick up the pathway ending below the water's surface - dropping off suddenly into the murky depths. The pathway ends about five steps before the door way. More stonebending allows safe passage and she finds herself standing at the beginning of another hallway.
