Holly scans the room closely, trying to see if there's anything in the room other than the lake and crystal. "Hmm... Statues? Something about blue eyes watching but blue ice being really bad. Maybe fire? Or maybe a circle of darkness? I don't know."
She wanders around for a bit, "My father was a great arcane trickster... I think what we could do is rest here and study the room in greater detail. I'm not sure if I'd like the idea of swimming below. It might work, but if there's something else nastier than the octopus sleeping below it might be a really bad thing."
She strikes some rocks together to start a fire with a makeshift spit to impale some tentacles and roast it while using some salt and pepper to spice it up. "I think... Don't get me wrong, but that crystal looks like a major key to the room, the statues. Maybe if there was one with blue eyes?"
She scans the room. (19+8=27 Spot) I might try to search a little more. But...
(15+3=18 on Intelligence check)
"Maybe it's something I could try to disable? I don't know. I'm just thinking that there's something here that needs to be disabled somehow." She shivers slightly, "I'm just not that fond of water."
"Drain the void and find a wealth, as blue eyes watch. Eh..." She puzzles over it, "Wait a second!"
Holly scans the room the ruff yet smooth warn walls show the ware of time but are solid stone, the banks of the water areas are caked deep with a clay like mud and the crushed bones and small bits of rock that make this room more a grave them a lake side holiday.
The light from the bright crystal over head make the room as bright as day despite it still being early in the morning and more over several miles under the ground at this point.
The large bolder that is settled into the clay a bit blocks most the cave opening leading deeper in to the dungeon.
She strikes some rocks together to see if she can start a but for lack of something to light no wood or dried moss no cotton or other burnable items she gets little more then sparks if that. The area is wet with the monster form the waterbed, this is not the ideal area to make a fire and its far to early in the day to make camp.
She scans the room. But, there is not much to see other then what she can and has already seen. There is some other out cropping an the other side of the water, there is a stone in the center of the late that is purficily round and covered in the only living substance in the room a green slippery moss.
The party is fumbling a bout the shore in varying tasks, and there is a dark cave entrance leading deeper into the unknown.
She thinks long and hard pondering what of the room and magics she knows her father to of head used and what of life and dungeons mechanics and books. As she thinks it comes to her mind that a crystal such as is over head could very well be affected buy a spell more over it might even be admitting one. Yet that was blatant and still. That rock in the water stands out to her, its out of place smooth while the walls are warn fro age the rock in the center of the room looks cut even polished possibly marble hard to tel with the moss on it and fro this far a way.
Even not being fond of the water she knows the group is attempting to explore all the options even if the course of action they are considering is the equivalent of pulling the plug from a bath while swimming near the drain.
That is it, a bath! this room is just like a bath tub full of water slowly leaking and with the water on. There is a drain somewhere and a plug to I bet. But now where can the chain be?! every good bath tubs plug had a chain to pull. Right?
In Game: Felipe will go greet Holly since he hasn't greet her, he says to her "Hello, I'm Felipe, as can you see we are all on this trial that we try to make it out alive, you can join us if you want". After saying that Felipe will go and search around the area to see what he can find.
Search Check: 14 - (14 + 2 = 16).
Spot Check: 4 (4 + 1 = 5).
"I wasn't belittling anyone. Don't be so quick to take offense." Alexander grimaces at Izumi. "Do me a favor. Next time I leap into the water to try to help you, at least say 'Thank you' before complaining about my snide remarks."
He thanks Elrik for the healing, and rises to his feet, walking away to look near the cavern opening. He pulls out his gemstone and uses it to look into the darkness.
Felipe takes a good look around the room but seems nothing new other then whats already been states, the things that do stand out in the room are the rock that dots the center of the water and the light source over head.
"Hay, hay now. Guys, I mean lady. I mean lady and gent, um... Please don't fight." Proas mumbles failing his attempt at being diplomatic and calming the tiff between the group.
Elrik palms his face in reaction to Proas's pore attempt at diplomacy. Attempting to mask his smile.
As Haru works to cut meat form the Beast he tells his mother at the mention of spices from holly. "Oh by the way mom I was going to tell you later but I got some spices from the box last night, still no flute but plenty of pepper and things we can use on the meet." he smiles then mumbles under his breath "Still no flute."
Alexander searches in the dark opening to the cave passage, he sees about 15 foot in to the dark passage way an other chunk of the glowing ore sitting on the cave floor, its the chunk Prous threw down the hallway while the group was in battle, having forgotten to pick it up as the group out down the "Freakishly large octopus" as he looks around the dark passage way with his limited light source he can tell this cave structure seems different and not to be natural in formation, it almost appears carved or dug out the cave passage is nearly rounded with large divots and groves as if it had been clawed out a long time a go but by something with claws or talons of a monstrous size.
the cave passage is nearly 2 foot a cross even if the opening room the lake area is mostly blocked with a bolder the original opening and the passage seems to suggest it was meant to accommodate something of a larger size them the size and races that the group consists of.
Out of Game:
Alexander please roll for spot and search if you want more information a bout the dark cave opening.
Izumi, clearly unhappy, follows Alexander. "You're going to tell me that the 'great job running' remark wasn't a jab? You are fooling yourself, not the rest of us.
Also, you want a thank you for something I and others have done more than a few times down here and have never even considered to expect a thank you from the others? You are not only a fool but ungrateful! We are all down here to get out of this and alive. To do this we all need to rely on each other, and not need a 'thank you' every time. This isn't a competition of who helps who or who saves the other. If you are truly that shallow, then fine, thank you for your assistance, but now know you are not the man I took you for!
With that Izumi walks back to the shore to analyze the situation.
(Izumi will look about the 'drain' situation. Listen 8+3=11, Spot 17+3=20, Search 14+2=16, Knowledge(Arcana) 20+5=25)
