Editing Menace Under Otari (section)

=== The Mermaid Statue ===
After a short rest and catching their breath, our heroes return to the mermaid statue that Jerrick had seen earlier. Once they approached the center of the room, the statue rumbles to life. It begins to emit an ethereal song and jets of water rise from large pipes on its perimeter. The pipes rotate and fires a jet of water and one narrowly misses Jerrick, going over his right shoulder. Our heroes jump into action with Jerrick and Rhus teaming up to strike the pipes, Ruby taps into the elemental gate of water and begins evaporating the water inside the statue, while Spike jumps onto the Mermaid Statue's face and uses her soft body to muffle the sound of the song. Our heroes make short work of the fountain and the remaining water gurgles until the gears powering it grind to a halt. Spike is soaked from the water spraying everywhere, but otherwise unharmed. Our party looking around the room realize this room was likely an alarm system, hopefully its warning was not heard. A large heavy door can be seen on one of the walls. Trying to listen beyond the door, faint voices can be heard, but sound too calm. It seems the statue's warning had not been heeded. Our heroes notice a small break in the wall, small enough for Spike to squeeze through. This hole had formed from one of the stray blasts of water from the fountain.
