They leave and have finished a circuit of the outer walls of the garden, except for the dryad woods, which they avoid. They head north to the meadow, along a path that leads down from this bank.
They continue into a meadow with beautiful flowers and buzzing insects and birds. The path is nice and wide. They see some Centaurs from a distance, watching, them, but they continue and leave behind their area. They skirt the lake, and decide to check it out.
The gravel bottom of the lake slopes gently away and appears to be crystal clear and beautiful. There are more brightly coloured fish and from this angel, they can make out a small building just under the surface of the water. Alzar is able to move about freely and breathe underwater, so he swims the 150 feet there, and heads underwater to check it out.
As he does, he encounters a family of giant otters who try to play with him, and are surprised by his ability to swim and move freely underwater. He makes a whirl with his staff and sends a few small water jetties at the children and they look like having fun, and move away.
There is a landing platform at the base and it appears to be three levels high. In fact, the giant otters lair here in the open space on the third floor, and they come up and play again as Alzar swings by. The ground level is flooded, and there are stairs up. There are holes from the lake. A quick search finds a concealed door, and behind it, an armory. There is watertight seal on the door. Inside are the following:
Short Composite Bow
6 arrows
Dagger
Hollow Metal Tube with two scrolls and two wands inside.
A small wooden box with holds three vials with a potion in each
Two rings
Alzar tries to identify them.
The bow is +1 and that’s all he can identify right now. He puts it all in his Bag of Holding. He leaves and comes back out into the flooded chamber and goes up the stairs to the next level. This is dry, and has the otters lairs. He nods to them, and plays with them a bit, and them goes up stairs to the top floor, and finds nothing here but furniture, even after a search he goes back down, again plays with an otter or two, and then leaves and heads back out. He rejoins Aleigha and Estaish and they continue to move.
