Floor 1 "Wheel": 1-2

[Anastasia]

The door stays open! Going into the next room, it's a narrow hallway with a low roof. No air at all is immediately available.

19/26.

[Carthrat]

Sacchin goes back to the surface in the other room for a moment, taking a great gulp of air as she treads water for a moment.

"Path down there full of water. Going back down," she grunts, before doing just that.

So yeah, I basically plan to swim down that path for twelve rounds and see if anything presents itself, and if I can't see another source of air I'll come back with a couple rounds to spare.

[Anastasia]

Getting back to where she was takes Sacchin 5 rounds! She then begins to swim down the corridor! After four more rounds she sees a gap in the roof, leading upward. It's not an air pocket, but it does seem to be an alternate passage to following this hall. It takes one round to veer off course and swim up into it.

17/26, assuming four rounds to descend again and move to move through the doorway, then four more swimming rounds.

[Carthrat]

Sacchin is willing to chance heading through the alternate passage, and swims upward to hopeful salvation!

[Anastasia]

A round is taken to swim up! In the gap, Sacchin can see it's a straight passage leading up! IT's a little brighter here, light trickling down from some source above! About sixty feet up, amid these hints of light, a pair of stone statues are built into the rusted iron walls. They are of mermen, looking on in eternal stone gazes.

16/26

[Carthrat]

Sacchin swims a little more to try and get a better look at the lights!

Up for two more rounds.

[Anastasia]

Sacchin swims up thirty feet! Above, sixty feet away and thirty past the statues, she can see light! Air! Open air! But...as she gets that close, the two statues get up! Like giant bulky blocks of stone they're moving, sinking through the waves towards Sacchin!

14/26 and initiative.

* Hatbot --> "Koaway rolls 1d20 and gets 17." [1d20=17]
* Hatbot --> "Koaway rolls 1d20 and gets 12." [1d20=12]
* Hatbot --> "Koaway rolls 1d20+2 Sacchin and gets 11." [1d20=9]

Initiative is Statue 1>Statue 2>Sacchin. Bad luck.

* Hatbot --> "Koaway rolls 1d20+1  and gets 14." [1d20=13]
* Hatbot --> "Koaway rolls 1d20+1  and gets 15." [1d20=14]

The two statues fall just past Sacchin, narrowly missing her both times! The heavy things would have surely clobbered her, not to mention perhaps trapping her under a ton of stone! They're only five feet past her, their heavy fall stopping abruptly!

Sacchin.

[Carthrat]

Sacchin continues to swim away from the statues, intending to put distance between herself and them!

Total defense, so that burns 2 rounds of breathing and gives +4 AC, for 20 AC. You can pretty much assume I just swim towards the surface like this until I get there.

[Anastasia]

Sacchin swims up two rounds! 30 feet to go! However, at this point the statues are finally moving again, catching up to her, reaching out to her with stony hands to drag her down!

10/26!

The first one is trying to grab and grapple you. Do you want to try an AoO, Sacchin?

[Carthrat]

Can't, reach weapon won't stop grapples and there's no point AoOing him otherwise. I'll try and bear it.

[Anastasia]

* Hatbot --> "Koaway rolls 1d20+1 and gets 3." [1d20=2]

Dodging, Sacchin swims above the hands of the first statue, even as the second one attempts a repeat performance!

* Hatbot --> "Koaway rolls 1d20+1 and gets 14." [1d20=13]

But with being on full defense, Sacchin is just able to dodge that and swim up! Two more rounds pass, Sacchin's lungs burning! But with that surge, she breaks above the surface of the water! Glorious air fills her lungs, but she's aware of something - the statues are swimming up after her as well in their own stony way!

Air restored. You haven't gotten a look around yet, as you're gulping down air and have two statues after you. Go ahead and take an action, even if it is just looking around?

[Carthrat]

If Sacchin can climb out, she is climbing out!

[Anastasia]

Sacchin lumbers out of the water! To the east is a ten foot long and wide steel slab built into the wall! Here she rests, body aching as air is taken back in! No sign of the statues coming out of the water, either. Here is it empty, save for a treasure box rising out of the floor.

[Carthrat]

Sacchin lies back on the ground for a moment, panting heavily and breathing in the delicious air; it's never tasted this sweet. No, she hasn't even tried to taste it for years. Staring up at the sky above for a moment, it occurs to her that her body isn't dissolving, she isn't burning, she's in something that might be sunlight, something she never thought she could see.

It isn't unpleasant, she realises. She could stay here for a long time, just resting. But it isn't enough, and in time, she comes back to reality, and walks towards the chest, intent on opening it.

[Anastasia]

Twenty feet above is a steel ceiling. Most of the light comes from there: Heavy, hard light, artificial.  The chest is rather large - but it doesn't immediately open for Sachin! It's locked!
