It's fine by me, AS. Just waiting for the "timer" to run out.

Beowuuf nods at the greeting, once more giving Sylvia a quick look to see if she has any misgivings herself.
"Many of these teleporters have required a puzzle to unlock. The main ones requiring each individual to find a token's representation, and then obtain the real world equivalent. Have you been forced to take those routes?"
Beowuuf knew the man should have needed to do just that at least in the hall, unless something very strange was going on.
"I suspect the water holds a clue. It moves when it should not."
Beowuuf makes sure not to turn his back on the traveller, but instead steps right up to the nearest bowl. With trepidation, he places his hand into the water.
Hopefully this doesn't end badly!

"Token? You mean the exit portal from the Hall of Water? It has something to do with the Teleporter?"
Nothing special happens when you put your hand in the water.
The water feels fresh and soothing. The current is elsewhere in the basin and you cannot make out anything in particular about it.
Sylvia watches what happens but she can't make out anything either. She remains watchful but doesn't say or do anything for now.

"My understanding is that many of the major teleporters require the token to aid passage. Perhaps this is not a major teleporter, though..."
Beowuuf goes and drinks from the basin, trusting the water. At worst, it might impart some knowledge to him.
He looks to see if water is coming into the basin from somewhere. He also looks back to the entrance to this place - the other alternative is that the room is moving. He would put nothing passed this place!

It dawns on you that the things that live in the basins are water elementals. It is the elemental that creates the currents in the basins. They are not all that large but there are several of them around in each basin.
The basins are connected with underground channels from what you can make out.
Your thoughts seems to be confirmed by the man at the teleporter.
"It is water elementals in the pools," he states. "If you jump in they might give you a massage, not that I'd recommend it. They can be quite playful."
He turns his attention back to teleporter and continues to look over it.
The water itself tastes the same as you sensed. It is fresh in the mouth.
Sylvia moves over towards the teleporter moving forwards slowly.

Beowuuf moves forwards too, ensuring he doesn't move faster than Sylvia, and checking to her other side.
Full search into each square leading up to the teleporter, the wall surroundign the teleporter, and then the teleporter itself.

Beowuuf and Sylvia makes their way slowly to the teleporter.
This room seems to be devoid of traps and other surprises. Nothing much happens while you make your way to the Teleporter, although you have a hunch that maybe you missed something on your way.
By the teleporter the man has found his glimmering token when you arrive and is waiting to receive you. He looks friendly enough.
I'll give Beowuuf first chance to say something at this point. All three of you now stand by the teleporter.

"What is your purpose here?" asks Beowuuf, with as friendly a tone as he can muster.
Can you spend points on a 'sense motive'?

"I was hired as a guard by some Tahouese scholars. I belive your companion is one of their number," the man says.
"He is correct," Sylvia says. "When passing through Tekaro we employed a group of Slovian guards. So where are the others in the guild?"
"They are still in the Lore Hall of Water. The Lady Anita has a mishap and is recovering so the others in the guild decided to study the tomes there while she reovers."
"And why did you leave them?"
"They have no need for guards there. The water elementals keeps the peace in the Lore Hall."
Sylvia seems to accept this and there is quiet for a while.

Beowuuf nods as Sylvia offers the explanation. "Well then, let us explore some more, and perhaps I can aid you back to the safety of the Hall of Water when this is done, and we can share the knowledge we have all acquired with the scholars."
Ok, ready to move on now!

OK. Closing this up now.
New threads in maybe 10 or so hours.
You will all be in the deeper part of the tomb then.
