The players take the lead in the race to the Emerald Grotto quickly outpacing their competition. Arriving at the first sunken room of the underwater grotto, the players may notice the light trickling in from the grotto's entrance is blotted out by the thick kelp patches filling this underwater chamber. The tops of the kelp fronds brush the ceiling, but between the stalks, you can spot a glimmer of light coming from farther ahead.
This area is the first fully submerged chamber of the grotto.
[OOC: Please must a DC 10 Strength (Athletics) group check to swim through the mass of kelp. The result of the check determines the time it takes them to move through the chamber and if the rival group catches up to you!]
Silvery moonlight filters in through a gap in the cavern's stone ceiling. Ahead, the path through the grotto splits into two tunnels: one to the south and one to the east.
