Chapter 3: The Darklake

Give me an INT and a WIS check. We'll see how ya do.

You know that some people that go mad are so stunned by their trigger that they fall into a coma of a sorts.

Both of your boats get cast off from the docks without issue. Bildaweer and Fang climb atop their respective keelboat cabins, looking at the charts and giving direction to those of you rowing the boats down the river. As you start off, the water is pretty still, as you are in the edge of the Darklake which is much closer to an actual lake at the edge of Sloobludop.

As you go, the sounds of screams and the gibberish of Demogorgon fade away. You pass into a new chamber with massive pillars of rock with carvings and scars crisscrossing them. After about three hours, you make your way into a cavern dimly lit by phosphorescent moss high upon some pillars. As Bildaweer's boat, in the lead, passes one of the pillars, a swirling column of water rises up, bending over with a blurbling hiss. It is nearly 15 feet tall and covers easily 10 feet square along the bottom. It writhes and liquid jaws gnash.

It doesn't immediately, however you are currently in combat order and the PCs are up first. Your conscious NPCs won't attack unless you do.

You know it is a water weird and that it has a variety of resistances to nonmagical damage.
