Swimming Through the Earth, Breathing the Dirt

Honorable Priestess,

After we defeating the rust monsters, we continued on, following the rope. After going down a sloping grotto, we noticed that the walls became less substantial. Pushing against the walls felt like pushing through clay.

We finally reached a point at which the rope led straight into a wall. Tiny eagerly pressed against the wal and found it to be soft like clay. He pushed himself into the wall and found that he could breathe (but not speak or see).

We followed Tiny and blindly trudged ahead, using the rope to pull us forward. Eventually, we came out of the wall and into another low cavern. The cavern floor was flooded with water that came up to our legs.

There were columns lining the cavern and stalactites hanging from the ceiling. Tiny decided to taste the stalactites and discovered that this cavern once contained limestone. The limestone had dissolved to form the stalactites.

Something stirred in the watter, and four Gricks burst to the surface. Two Troglodytes emerged behind the columns and started to fire up on us.

Fortunately, our battle ended quickly. Kale's strong magic put three of the Gricks to sleep. Garg commanded Firinne to kill the remaining Grick. Once the Gricks were dead, we swiftly dealt with the Troglodytes.
