[color=00aeef][i]The night passed slowly, as many of us were still unused to the sensations of sleeping underwater. Drifting in the current tended to feel quite cozy, up until one's head bonked along the rocky walls. However, our rest finally met its conclusion, and the new day begun... if day and night actually held any meaning on this plane. I sang a restful morning song as we broke our fast, and before long, we were led forward by Cynthia.

A few minutes passed with nothing of note as we wound our way through the sunken tunnels. But suddenly as she rounded a bend, our guide stopped short.
What appeared to be a shimmering barrier stood in our way. Magic? Dangerous? Perhaps deadly? [/i][/color]

Cynthia gave a quiet gasp. "I never expected to see air in here!" she exclaimed as she pushed against the "barrier." Sure enough, the surface of the water rippled and splashed, and the merfolk smiled back at the group. "Air pockets are rare and quite valuable. We should note these on our map."

The group broke the surface and glanced around. By any account, this looked like a normal cave with an underground river passing through that the party was now exiting. But no, in this plane, the air was of greater note than the water. But the group felt refreshed and comforted by the sensation of warm air... even if they were still sopping wet from their swim.

To the east, the water continued on, beckoning for a continued swim. To the south, the air pocket led deeper into the caves. And to the West was the direction we came from. Which way should we choose?
