Wrapping up their fight with angry crustaceans, the Protectors of the Pass prepared to head further into the prison, seeking Lee Sidoneth. After taking a closer look, Rayland realized that he had seen these creatures before, in tanks within the shop of his previous patron, Aemon Ming. He kept this information to himself, as he headed over to where Jack was calling for him. Jack had found a treasure chest with no lock, and wanted Rayland's help. Unfortunately, that chest turned out to be a creature with sharp teeth and a hunger for halflings, as it attempted to consume Rayland. The rest of the party lived up to their name, protecting Rayland, destroying the monster.
After a quick healing from Bryn, the Protectors continued on. They soon found themselves in a hall of jail cells, bars rusted and rotted out, half drowned in the rising tide. Within these cells were the remains of what seemed to be prison guards, nothing but rusty armor clinging to long-still bones. But as the Protectors entered, these skeletons reknit themselves, and began to rise, a tide of bone rising to stop the party's progression. The Protectors of the Pass dove into the deepening water, furiously engaging the monsters. They were nearly overwhelmed. But then, floating above the stagnant water, Bryn entered the hall, summoning the darkness of the room to destroy their foes. Dark tendrils of twilight enveloped the skeletons, turning them to dust, their remains scattered into the waves. Seeing their path was now cleared, the Protectors of the Pass submerged further into the Sunken Prison.
