<strong>Hall of Ravished Virginity</strong>: Cleared!<br/><strong>The Neck of Uter</strong>: Cleared!<br/><br/><strong>The U-bend of Ter</strong><br/><br/><hr/><br/>The room - effectively an elevator - descended slowly and steadily for about ten minutes or so before it came to a smooth halt. The stone wall outside the exit gave way to an opening. Looking out, the party was far underground now, near the ceiling of what seemed to be a huge underground cavern. The cavern was too large for the light from where they were to reach the walls, and only managed to illuminate the occasional giant stalactite that hung precariously from the ceiling over dark depths below.<br/><br/>A pair of torches flared to life of their own accord in the distance, ensconced at the end of a contraption of wooden boards and metal gears that formed an extending walkway suspended from the ceiling. The walkway unfolded and extended itself towards the party's chamber in segments thirty feet long. The final segment reached the threshold of the chamber's exit precisely, with not an single inch more or less-<br/><br/><em>SNAP!</em><br/><br/>An ancient wooden beam splintered and then snapped completely into two, too far rotten to bear its fair share of the walkway's weight. Another strut, suddenly forced to endure a load greater than it had been engineered for, similarly failed and then the entire final segment of the walkway was tumbling away down into the darkness below, leaving a thirty foot gap of nothingness between the room and the walkway.<br/><br/>The debris fell for almost three seconds before it hit water with a splash. The water flared with bioluminescence from the disturbance, light crystal blue and green, revealing an underground pond a hundred feet below them that stretched from wall to wall of the cavern. For a few seconds before the light faded away, the pond floor was also illuminated, thirty feet below the surface and teeming with a carpet of sea anemones waving their short undulating feeding tentacles about almost lazily.
