Just as he gets ready to pull back, he feels things shift around them then suddenly the staff just easily slides out. He smiles looking at the staff. Heh, that was easy. Guess when the rock shifted, it gave the staff just enough room to get out. Then he starts to look around. Wait, if there rock had shifted where is the cloud of sediment that would have been kicked up by a rock this big shifting. What did cause it to shift? He didn't feel any earth tremors or movement. Something is definitely not right here. Everything tells him staying to find out is a very bad idea.<br/><br/>He firmly grabs the staff and holds it close to him and quickly wiggles his way out of the whole. He then pushes off of the floor of the lake and starts to quickly swim upward towards the light. He start to think there was an odd feel to the floor bottom. It was bit spongier that it should have been. He snaps his tail hastening his assent to the surface.
