They cautiously made their way down into the buried halls, making sure to keep watch for signs of risen tides. They pass the Memory Hall to head to the portion of the ruins they previously fought the diseased vermin worms. Cassian placed a torch at the landing just prior to the previously flooded floor, the waters appeared to have receded. The walls of this portion were still covered in the black oozy goo, Dheir went to check the path she previously looked down, finding a stairwell down to a deeper portion of the ruins. Saxon checked another path, where they found what looked to be the remains of more living quarters. Xedran went down the only other path remaining, locating a room with various murals depicting the story of a group of like minded individuals during the Dragon Wars assisting the Koji, though soon a schism in the group formed due to some calamity. The final mural showed a group of sapiens, one holding a cube that seems to generate a protective barrier around them. Cassian came into the room and sketched a rough copy of the cube. While Xedran and Cassian investigated the murals, Dheir and Saxon made their way to the final room of that hallway, finding an stone basin of sorts filled with mud and rock. The pair investigated the basin, pulling out broken stone blocks engraved with names (appearing to be from the Memory Hall). Dheir also manages to find a shiny piece of a cube, further investigation of it with Cassian and Xedran revealed it to be fairly similar to the mural in the previous room, with an older version of the current emblem of the Kingdom of Alathel. They move some of these bricks to the landing above the floor to keep them safe from any potential flooding, while Cassian put the piece of puzzle cube into his pack for safe keeping. They then proceeded to head deeper below, their Sahabi allies and Kit all having a fun time squeezing into the dark halls. On the next floor, while they heard movement from other portions of the ruin, they didn't see much. The water was about ankle deep on the floor and the oozy goo on the walls was thicker, with hairs that seemed to reach towards the group. Once on the lower floor, Dheir began to go forward to investigate, where she was attacked by a Black Pudding. The party defended themselves using a mixture of might, magic, and molotov cocktails, with the pudding ruining some of the non magical equipment, the party did find a mac in what remained of the creature's form. The party proceeded father into the ruins, coming to a fully flooded area, Drick took the lead to get through the flooding, ending up with an encounter against vermin worms, an encounter that was mostly Drick, Dheir, and Saxon, with Xedran stuck between Sahabi that couldn't squeeze through and Cassian having to use magic to get close enough for assistance. The party did manage to defeat the creatures and now must plan their next move."
