While I've opted for a general plan of action for this most recent post, I would like to know how you intend to handle exploration like this in the future. Should we just state where we're going, what we're doing, and leave any findings and encounters up to you? Or should we instead craft the scenarios for ourselves. Perhaps it'll just be an uneventful trip down a hallway, but maybe Edwin will round a corner and an amorphous blob will rise from the water with a sickening squelch, forming into a human shape as it drags itself towards him. Although it seems like blob people prefer snatching the legs of those who walk to close to the water these days.

I was thinking about this myself.  With typical parties it's easy because everyone's together, but if people continually splinter off...I think I'll go with that first option.  I'll describe the situations that the players face.
