Tunnels

I don't suppose we have a choice, and if we don't get closer... There's no way we're going to figure this out. Still, I don't know why but I'm concerned that this area might flood if we don't do this right. All this moisture could be created by humidity, mist, fog, or it could be created by a sudden rush of water. Vlax cautions everyone while he studies the roof and walls to see if he can see anything, like holes from which water might gush.

"We encountered the ooze in the hallway we're standing in. Coincidence? Or was it related to all this?"

Raggy steps into the room. Looking around the corners ans ceiling to see If he sees any mechanism to let water in. Ro can you smell anything girl?

Skeeve asks Ro to identify the pools that smell salty and any that smell particularly good.

Skeeve will try to do a more detailed scan over each pool, starting with the big one. I'll roll for that one.

Skeeve says, Well, we are here to explore, and nothing ventured, nothing gained. He pauses momentarily so the others can get ready however they want and ...

He places his left hand in the water. (Of the large fresh water merman pool.) If nothing happens, he will then try to magically probe again. Hopefully this time he won't awaken something that wants to suck out his life force. Or generally want to attack him.

Skeeve says, I can't detect anything specific. Think I should take a drink? The various pools have coins in them, and this big one has some jewels.

Do the coins look like the other ones we've found or like those used in the camp?

"This might sound silly, but maybe the coins are in there because someone thought that they could make a wish."

"Make one? A wish, i mean? Should we? Or You?" Vlax interjectw as he looks around clearly uncomfortable with the whole affair.

Skeeve dips his hand back into the large fresh water pool, withdrawing a handful of water in his cupped hand. And drinks it.

Vlax interjects, "Maybe you have to be submerged in it." He pauses, realizing what he said."Uhm. Well, there has to be a reson for the magic. Right? I'm not really suggesting someone get in. uh... No..Right?

Skeeve will take a second look at the trident both looking it over and scanning it specifically. Is it part of the stone of the statue? Or is it separate and made of metal? Is it attached to just the statue's hand, or is the bottom also connected to the statue's base? Is it jeweled, or otherwise ornate? Does it have anything that looks like a lever or mechanism that can be triggered?

Post-roll edit: Holy crap, Skeeve just isn't going to make any progress in this room!

Blornvid examine the trident to note the level of craftsmanship.

"Take that trident and all these things might somehow wake up, and angry for defiling their shrine,". Vlax looks at all the statues. "I mean, that's why we are here, to clear it out, but....be ready."
