11.0 - Deep Silent Complete Report
General Summary
I've entrusted chamber investigation to a small group of Keepers to determine if it's safe. Their report leaves me with many concerns and I hesitate to send this information back to headquarters. But knowledge guides the path of the future...
Cumulative report, written by Junaer Jeighmoor We passed through the doors and some kind of tile washed and dried us in an instant. There was no light inside, so we got a light spell up and running. Inside was smaller than expected. There's the central platform we entered on, and then 4 mirrored island platforms; 2 on either side. Nothing else but water and the cavern walls. Moss checked out the islands; they had a number of old, rusted weapons and trinkets, and faded potions. The furthest islands each have a running fountain. At the end of the central platform is a bowl or basin, full of water. But it didn't seem like... normal water. Both Celye and Tana felt something off about it. Sample retrieved. Moss's goggles picked up something fuzzy. A bit of figure, he thinks, standing near the basin. Nothing could be made out though, and this thing didn't move or react to us. Tana excused herself from remaining in the chamber any longer. She said she was feeling a pull—a call—to the water. She kept getting overwhelming feelings of blissful silence. A deep sleep. Complete rest. A cure for all her aches and pain. I allowed her to wait outside, grab rubbings of the Script above the doorframe. But after a while, I felt it, too. I've no doubt, Preserver; there's something down in those depths.
I followed up with our captive Grey Cloak recruit, about Nora. He says the water they brought back didn't work, at least not for long. Viran left in the late in the evening, carrying Nora to the—what I presume now to be—Temple of Vand. Viran returned at dawn, without Nora. The interloping group left in the morning, our captive none to happy that Viran gifted them some of their "coat brooches" (apparently infused brooches that keeps the wearer dry).
I need to return to Vira's Aspiration and the library there. I have a hunch I know what the purpose of this "vault" is. Water and Death are closely linked. But I need the records to help back my theory.
