Odilo given the current circumstances uses another charge of his staff if able to, to levitate to the water's surface and will try like hell to get to a place he can stand with at least his head above water.

Risdac Egargi

You can hold on to the boat if you need to. Maybe put some weapons or such in it?

Risdac does not want to physically help anyone for fear of causing the boat to capsize if he leans too much to one side.

Doesn't Odilo have a boat patch?

Rool Diov

Rool paddles over to the boat with Risdac and Tanner. He holds on to the side and catches his breath.

Yes I do have a patch though being underwater does little good to use it once i break the surface of the water I plan to use it.

Tanner
Sorry_ thought I had already posted this. My Net connection has been wonky.

Tanner quickly snaps together his 10'pole, reaching it toward one of the folks struggling.

Having plunged over a waterfall into a 100' shaft and deprived of your boat, you try to survive the murky water. Meanwhile, the black hole in the starboard wall pulls you toward it.

Malibran digs into his pack for a levitation potion and quickly drinks it, getting only a little of the murky water in his mouth. He rises up and out of the water, soaking wet. Odilo also levitates, using a charge of his staff. Khogeki the Soggy Unseen Monk activates his ring and flies into the air. Hallagad and Rool are able to keep their heads above water, dogpaddling, thanks to their magical strength enhancements and, in Rool's case, a magical bag.

Xale, however, is too heavily laden even with his magically enhanced strength. As he sinks into the depths of the foul, dark water, he sees only one option: he quickly wriggles free of his backpack and lets it drop. He fights his way to the surface and reaches for Tanner's outstretched pole.

You are safe from drowning, for the nonce—just long enough for the black hole to suck you all into it. Swimmers, flyer, hoverers, and boaters are all pulled into the hole. There is a brief moment of disorientation, then you are dumped over another waterfall. You find yourselves back in the large water-filled room, at the bottom (or top, in the case of the flying Unseen Servant and the floating Odilo and Malibran) of the waterfall in the port side wall. You take no damage from the additional fall. Risdac and Tanner manage to keep their boat upright and themselves in it. Xale, Hallagad, and Rool tread water.
I tallied up Xale's stuff and had him at 68.2 lbs, so I had to make a call on what Xale would drop. Please remove his backpack and everything in or on it (20 bolts with no heads, tinderbox, waterskin, 50' of rope, 4 torches, 3 flasks of oil) from Xale's sheet.

Malibran hovers in the room and prays for the Light of Pholtus to heal the wounds from his fall.

Tanner

The warrior looks around, visibly annoyed. Damn wizards and their stupid shite!! I suppose the other side tunnel will do us the same?

Hallagad is not happy. "To the center, then?" he asks as he wonders what is happening above deck.

Xale

As Xale treads water he tries to locate the other members of the group and maybe a dry spot to work towards.

I'm going to have to say that Xale is too busy trying to keep his head above water to be able to cast any spells with somatic or material components.

Malibran will help anyone as he can to stay afloat while looking for help himself to get to the center pathway "Agree, Master Hallagad - let's proceed to that direction and collect ourselves..."

The giant wizard glares at Tanner- at least Tanner thinks he does, as it is hard to tell exactly where Risdac is looking with his eyes oddly placed- before opining, Maybe next time, I will spare you the wizard "stupid shite" and just levitate myself, allowing you to plummet. Unless, of course, you weren't referring to THIS wizard and his stupid shite. I'd hate to think I was annoying you by protecting you, but I can keep my spells to myself if everyone prefers. Just don't want to step on anyone's toes- I'd probably end up breaking your foot if I did. Having said that, take this until we are sure we aren't going to go over any more waterfalls. I may not be able to help you again if we come to another waterfall. The giant removes a Potion of Levitation from his vest pocket and hands it to Tanner.

After everyone is safe from drowning and either able to move under their own power or in another boat, the giant will head towards the center waterway. He is willing to attach ropes to the boat if any levitating characters need to be dragged along.

The only dry spot you're aware of is the ledge to the south. Will Xale swim that way?

Odilo will levitate up so that he can use his staff to push against the ceiling to move himself back towards the ledge in the south so that he can land on dry ground.

Xale will move towards the dry ledge as fast as he can.

Rool Diov

“Risdac,” Rool says to the giant dwarf. “Move the boat back towards the ledge, so I can get out of the water.”
The thief continues to tread water while grasping the side of the remaining boat.

Tanner

Tanner keeps his opinions to himself, and concentrates on helping anyone/everyone get out of the water.

The story continues (and, possibly, quickly concludes) in Chapter 3: Hell's Bells!
