Submerged

"Well... We established that Goma is the only one who knows how to swim... At least who knows how to swim well, but if we can't drown, then there probably won't be a major issue even if we can't swim right?" Yulia suggests. Cherchiel and Isalia, both look uncertain about this, but Goma nods.

"Swimming easy, just flap legs and arms real fast!" she decrees.

Miseral watches the four of them with a look of great concern as she listens to their conversation.

"Well we'll figure it out I'm sure," Yulia decides finally after watching Goma mime swimming for a bit, "thanks for the help," she tells Miseral and the four head out. Traveling back to the reef they don't run into any ambushes or enemies. They reach the reef and enter the small pool the lantern is connected to. Swimming down they find that indeed they have no trouble breathing in the water. Each breath takes in water, but the water is converted magically into oxygen and the same is true of breathing out, the water simply does not impede exhalation.

"Can you hear me?" Isalia asks, under the water and the others nod.

"Oh cool we can talk underwater too, that's useful," Cherchiel states.

"I wonder if that's an effect of the spell or just the tower..." Yulia ponders. The four descend through a narrow channel, surrounded by botanical structures and rock until they reach a chamber in the reef. Goma seems excited as all around the chamber are a number of useful alchemical ingredients. She quickly sets about grabbing what she can.

"Oh good, more ingredients. What do you think we should make with these?" Isalia asks.

"I guess that's up to the voices. I don't think we need more mana potions though... so maybe something combat related... I wonder what would be best to use underwater," Yulia considers. Once Goma is done they head back up, Goma easily swimming up and giving the others advice on swimming and soon the other three are at the very least capable of ascent.

They emerge onto the reef just in time to watch as the Kraken's tentacles emerge out of the water around them.

"Oh... Not again!" Cherchiel growls.

"We could jump in the water and try to fight it for real maybe?" Yulia suggests.

"We could also still run..." Isalia offers.
