The old library
Fumbus is covered in sweat, his eyes very wide still. He starts up a high-pitched whistle and backtracks the hell out of there. "To the east!" Only when they're far away from the very much occupied crypt do his hands stop shaking.

"Well, that went better than expected." Sweating from the effort of putting the lid back on Carver seems pretty pleased.
"Never doubted it would be helpful." He gives that look saying that's not really true. "Right, like the nice dead lady said, east to the lake." He takes a drink of water, clear his forehead and adjust his pack before stomping off.

The lake
However, at one point, the cavern is partially flooded and you have to wade through breast deep water, with only a few inches of air left above. Movement is difficult and suddenly, you feel the ground give way and you fall...
You recover consciousness and look around. You find yourself in a huge cavern, many miles accross. Strange light emanates from the walls an ceiling (which is several hundred meters above you). Most of the cavern is filled by a huge lake with dark, still water. You are lying on the beach of an island, and get up to look around. Your equipment is still here, either packed away in your rucksacks or belts, or easily found lying in the sand.
Interestingly, the island is covered in some sort of jungle, made up of strange plants. You can also see some sort of bridge made of light that leads to the shore on the side of the cavern. You can just make out some sort of terraced city there.
Suddenly, a giant dark green frog leaps out of the jungle and looks at you hungrily.

The lake
Fumbus pulls out his dogslicer, waving it menacingly at the giant animal. "You play nice, or I'm going to have some frog legs for lunch, you hear?" He isn't actually eager to get up close and personal, given how big it is it might actually be able to gobble him up. But on the other hand, frog legs do sound mighty tasty right now.

The lake
Merisiel slowly stands up and looks around. "Is it me, or did things just get really weird?"
Then the hungry looking frog appears. "Okay, something that wants to kill and eat us. That's a little more normal." She draws her daggers and juggles them in what she hopes the frog will find a menacing display. "Trying to kill and eat us is going to be more trouble for you than it's worth," she says to the beast.

The lake
Carver is slower to get up than the others, he's bleeding from a good little gash over his left eye where he hit a rock on the fall. Soaking wet he grumbles, he never likes getting his clothing wet and now everything is soaked. "What happened?" He rolls onto his back and just looks up at the ceiling and tilts his head to the side gazing at the jungle and bridge and city. "Well that's something you don't see every day. We must be in the Un..." the frog leaps into view. "We are no flies, shoo frog shoo!" He doesn't even get up yet, he's still a bit woozy and just hopes it hops away.

"Who's hungry for some fried frog legs?" He rolls to standing, drawing his great axe as he does. He leaps forward, both hands holding his axe and he drives it down with all his might at the head of the frog hoping to end this quickly before getting all tongue tied.
