[Talas]
"It's a plan." Talas says as he casts Breathe Without Air on
himself.  He points down. "I think we've gotta go this way first,
though."
[/Talas]

> [Carlos]
> "Talas, let's move forward and head underwater - good idea.
> Perhaps we can find something interesting." Carlos also radios
> to the rest of the group of their plan to move forward - "If you
> think you know how to get to the chain holding the sub, let us
> know. Perhaps we can work together to get rid of it."

[GM]
With that Talas and Carlos go beneath the water.  Even in his
environmental suit, Carlos can feel the chill of the water.
They move down the vertical shaft by pushing down the ladder,
but it's still a slow process.

Suddenly light appears above, and then a splash, as two
fishmen jump into the shaft and swim with great speed towards
Talas and Carlos.
