The grate is already loose, having been moved before pretty recently. You remove it again, realizing that there’s a maintenance room on the other side. Most of it is flooded but there’s an air pocket at the ceiling. Otherwise, it’s too dark to make out a bunch of controls that you probably couldn’t make much sense of in the first place.

You head to the air pocket breach for air, a few glowing lights still illuminating the area enough to see by. There isn’t much to see, unfortunately, and you begin to wonder why a Hero of Light was the only type of person suited for this job.

That’s when you see movement.

Now that your eyes have adjusted, you can look below you and see a ton of octopuses, at least twenty or more, all sitting on the floor of the room. They don’t seem aggressive, though. They’re just chilling. Or maybe they just haven’t noticed you yet.
