key quest
Blue light blazes beneath Lucas' finger as he traces the shortest distance. It isn't like him to take the shortest route, but good for him for adapting. As his finger raises away, this time without the electric snap of pain, the wall begins to rumble and groan. Still for centuries, rocks moan unhappily against each other as the pillar shifts to the side, revealing that it was not a wall at all, but a pocket-door. Sliding into the stones themselves seemingly, revealed within is a chamber abuzz with moisture and the pregnant weight of something monstrous—both in size and temperament.
The room itself is circular, and shockingly large; an underground cathedral of sorts composed entirely of naturalistic elements and contours. The ground is mostly flooded, but rather than being muddy it is covered in moss. There are what appear to be some strange species of tree growing up the walls with dark blue leaves and vibrant green-yellow spots. They grow towards the centre of the room almost in some sort of pattern, creating a strange checker-board like space between them. All is silent, save for the woooooooooruuush of water, as if there is a waterfall nearby. But this far beneath the surface surely it must be something else. Faint orbs of blue light hover and dance around illuminating the dark tomb in which you find yourselves. But of course circular rooms and watery floors are not what you focus on. Instead, there is a gargantuan creature at the back of the room. Reptilian in nature, it looks like a giant sort of tortoise covered in moss, though it bears long and jagged claws, a beak that appears razor sharp, and eyes that glow blue in the darkness. Behind it there appears to be a door (not another one) that it clearly guards.
With an unhappy rumble that seems to emanate from nowhere in particular, the creature raises a clawed foot and slams it down making the ground heave unsteadily. Both Lucas and Kristopher are knocked unsteadily about, though manage to shake off the sudden ground-tremor with ease.
Your initiative order is Roana, Lucas, Maea, Kristopher. Keep in mind that your 'turn' is only about 6 seconds long. If you try to do too much, your latter actions will be ignored or rolled at disadvantage.

Maea: 36
