The marble architecture leading down the sparkling passage becomes more articulate the further on it goes, from a few wavy lines to a full-on ocean mural, depicting many aquatic Pokemon. The odd sparkling light reflects off of all sides, despite any source nearby... that is soon changed, however, when the passage fans outward to a bright, noisy clearing. The tunnel ends atop a set of stairs leading downward a meter, which itself leads to a marble platform carved into the wall on this side of the chamber. The platform is essentially a stone dock; the rest of the chamber, under the level of that dock, is filled with water. How far down cannot be discerned, but what is certain is that this place was once tall and majestic. The tips of massive stonework buildings peak out of the surface of the water, waves crashing softly against the masonry. The tops of lower buildings form platforms that can be traversed with hearty jumps. Just as well, some buildings poke out even taller, gaining a story of space above the water level. Above the water, the chamber resonates a white-blue reflection of the deep. Lanterns are strung up instead of being bolted to the wall, and the far wall stretches upward at an angle to meet the back wall in a triangle formation. The chamber is actually quite large as far as forward-backward goes, but who knows how far down it goes? |

With just barely enough leg force to make the building hops, Jones nevertheless carves a slow route to the thickest clusters of marble buildings. Across an archway, he finds himself at the trifecta of buildings everyone else has found so far: a window to the left, to the right, and in front of him... of course, there's always the water as well. |

Jones ponders for a moment, before heading for the entry on the left side. |

Inside the left building, the water is barely a trickle on Jones' shoes, and the room appears mostly intact... save for a giant hole in the wall on the right side of the room. Other than that, Krabby dot all four corners of the room. |

Jones looks around, seeing if there's any other possible ways out of the room besides the hole. Perception: [result]10&1:2:5,3d6,2,10&3d6+2[/result] |

Aside from the hole and the Krabby, there isn't much else to be had in this room. Peeking out the hole, however, shows a series of small platforms that lead to a higher rooftop. Difficult jumps, but they could be made... |

Jones gulps, before shaking his head. "Not a chance in Distortion World." Heading back, he'll try and get to the window in the center, trying to make the jumps steadily. Athletics 1: [result]9&3:5,2d6,1,9&2d6+1[/result] Athletics 2: [result]8&5:2,2d6,1,8&2d6+1[/result] |

These jumps seem easy in comparison to the platforming that would have to be done to get up... The front-and-center building has water going up to Jones's ankles, and the floor is strangely destroyed; there is only one thin path of marble forward, leading to a single ladder up. The rest of the room's floor is absent, as if ripped away. |

Jones makes his way carefully along the path, keeping a sharp eye on the water on either side. Perception: [result]12&2:2:6,3d6,2,12&3d6+2[/result] Athletics (if needed): [result]6&3:2,2d6,1,6&2d6+1[/result] |

The path is easy to tread, but as he looks down, Jones notes a few dim red shades in the dark waters below... something he might not want to disturb. The splashing of his shoes in the water isn't helping him be any quieter.

Jones will attempt to move forward at a shuffle, making sure to not actually pull his feet all the way out of the water, and reduce the noise he's making that way. Stealth: [result]6&5,1d6,1,6&1d6+1[/result] |
