Descent into the Underdark

After another long uneventful walk back down into the caverns, the group finds themselves at the Matrix Node again. Hoping for the best, they take a look at the pad to see what the pattern shows, but they are pretty sure it is not a valid pattern, or at least not the one used as it doesn't match any of the part that Ishzu briefly saw. Without that option available, the group is reduced to trying to follow the goblin's trail.

Grin leads the team along the Goblin path he and Brewner found previously. The follow the path for a bit, almost losing track of it twice, but with the two of them working together they are able to follow it along. Until they reach a cavern covered in bright pink slime. The slime makes a relatively smooth surface, but you can't tell at first if this is because the cavern floor is flat, or just because of how the slime works. It is a comparatively small cavern, but still big enough that the torch light reaching the far side does not give much detail other than the relative size of the cavern.

As you stop to decide what to do, Grin, Brewner, Ander, and Oliver realize that Ishzu is not with the group anymore ...Ishzu finds the pool and after doing a mental search for any thought or a remnant of the elemental finds nothing. The pool still has an active surface and still appears to be magical, but there is no hint of any elemental in the pool.
