Kassan looks behind himself to see his axe accidentally bumped the bubble.
A highly concentrated stream of scalding hot water hits him in the shoulder, sending him to the ground. The stream rips straight through the crab's shell, supposedly where the crab's brain would be, because it twitches very violently then drops dead.
Kassan take 10dmg -this is halved already.
You cautiously open the large chest that the crab was guarding.
Inside the chest is Illiranth, I shall have her describe herself. In addition: 1,000 gp in small sacks, twenty gems (two big ones worth 1,000 gp each, one big one worth 5,000 gp, and seventeen others worth a total of 3,935 gp), goggles of night, and a stone of good luck (luckstone).
Illiranth is clutching a very intricate trident. She slowly wakes as the chest opens, much like you all, she has no idea how long she has been in this magical coma, brought into this dungeon by Keraptis.
The pressurized stream of water continues pouring in, if you do not act fast you will soon be in a few inches of boiling water.
Tempe: Blackrazor speaks to you, Well done, though you lack what it takes to wield me your efforts were not in vain. You have rescued Wave, a similar sentient weapon. I doubt anyone of you are capable of using her properly either, but we don't have time for that now.
Illiranth: Wave speaks to you, Who knows how long we have been in this chest together? If you can, use me to cast a cube of force to keep us safe from the water.
Illiranth, if you want to, make a wisdom check dc17 to use Wave to cast this spell.
