General
If you're still alive, under the sea,
I'll cut off both my legs and become a fish.
If you come close enough for me to fall into the depths,
I'll become a shadow, wandering the endless darkness. Arranged as always by the great

The tunnel led Cobra and Fang toa large, round room with a slight drop in the floor, about a foot down, to water. Around the perimeter of the room was a narrow ledge that could bear them around to the far end where the door out was, but they needed to squint to see it, their vision slightly impaired by a layer of mist hanging above the water in the cistern.
The water was unnaturally still as the two adventurers entered the room.
“Seems straightforward for once,” Cobra said. “Just avoid whatever is in the water and get to the door.”
Fang nodded and looked around for something to drop into the water. Aside from each other, there was nothing to throw in. He grunted into his gag .
“How deep is this water?” Cobra asked, looking over the edge of the path into the murky water. As he was considering the depth of the water, a dark shape came rushing to the surface. There was a splash of water as tentacles lash out at Cobra and wrap around his body. He yelps in surprise as the tentacle dunks him into the water before hoisting him into the air.
Fang pantomimed shaking hands and gestured at the creature holding Cobra.
“You want me to do what?” Cobra coughed as the tentacle waved him around. “How am i supposed to make friends with it, Fang?”
Fang whined and patted at his muzzle.
“Sorry,” Cobra grunted as he squirmed free from the tentacle. He splashed down into the water below and became filled with dread. The water seemed to extend on forever beyond his field of vision. He spun around in the water and beheld the creature that at caught him. It was abhorrent in nature; a massive squid-like being with tentacles growing from random parts of its body and a plethora of eyestalks all blinking in their own way, no two blinked at the same time as the creature and wizard stared at one another. Cobra swam to the surface quickly in a panic, gasping for breath.
Thinking quickly, Fang sat down on the ledge and hung his bound legs over, letting his boots touch the water in hopes the creature would pay attention to him instead of Cobra.
“Fang what are you doing?” Cobra called out as he started to swim the length of the cistern.
The creature screeched and whipped out a few tentacles, grabbing Cobra from the water and Fange from the ledge. It dunked them both and pulled them out again, toying with them.
Desperate to escape, Cobra attacked the the creature. With each strong kick or stinging spell he cast at the monster, it would drop him in a fit and then catch him again and shake him like a child shaking a doll. All the while, Cobra cursed at the creature’s persistence in capturing him.
“Cmmbrmph!” Fang called into his gag and casts a spell of his own, conjuring the illusion of a pirate vessel floating in the cistern.
Intrigued, the creature fully submerged, dragging the two grappled men with it. A pair of thin tendrils shot out at the men, tiny, teethless lamprey maws at their tips. The tendrils latch onto Cobra and Fang’s snouts. There was a moment of panic, but it was quickly dispersed as both realized they cold breath fine with the tendrils on their noses.
They share a concerned look as a voice speaks to them. “Welcome… yes, welcome indeed…”
Fang tried to cast another spell to force the creature to release him and Cobra, but all it did was anger the monster as Fang’s radiant spell seared the squid’s fleshy body.
Enraged by the creature’s antics and upset with how the adventure could have turned so wrong so fast, Cobra channeled him innate arcane energy, immolating himself. With a shriek of surprise, the creature releases the wolfdragon as his spell takes full control over his body. He spreads his wings to catch the rush of the water in his spell’s radius as it threw him from the water and slammed him against the door out of the room, breaking it open. He sat up quickly, coughing up water.
“Fang?” He called out to the water, trying to see any sign of his friend, but he couldn’t see anything below the water’s surface. “I’m sorry, Fang.” He stood up and left the room before the creature appeared to grab him again.
Below the water’s surface, the creature swam deeper, its demeanor oddly was serene and calm--a stark contrast to the rage it displayed earlier.
“I’m sorry, too. I was acting on instincts,” Fang thought as he watched Cobra ignite in magical energy and fly from the water. “Go ahead, I’m yours now.” He stopped struggling, letting the tentacles holding him squeeze him tighter.
“Welcome to my collection, Fang,” the voice cooed to the husky. Something licked his face, feeling oddly menacing.
