You hear the lizard creature snap his jaws with a dull thud and then you are roughly hosted up, your feet dangling several inches above the ground, your bare rear pressed against the softer, banded skin of his stomach. “I can swim,” he assures you, taking short, backward steps towards the water. Once on the edge he allows himself to simply fall into the water, apparently immune to shock of cold that rushes to envelope your skin before burrowing deeper. Seconds later you surface, the lizard creature remaining just below, using his powerful tail to propel the two of you forwards.<br/>His control of his swimming is far from perfect and you occasionally have to hold your breath as you are dragged below the surface, but never for more than a few second. Soon you arrive on an island in the middle of the underground lake. The place is clearly a shrine, or at least was, with three statues of humanoid figures sporting animalistic features and five more lying shattered on the ground. Mixed amongst the fragmented stone shards are numerous gold coins and the occasional lesser gem. Ahead of you is a cave with a wooden door, in front of which lies a second golden chain. The lizard creature gentle places you down next to a fallen statue and walks towards the door, kicking the chain aside as he does.
