While bunking for the night at The Albatross inn you overhear a hushed conversation… “Ever since that forsaken place has emerged we’ve had all sorts of warriors and rogues for hire come in search of fame and treasure,” the man makes a gesture to pointing south, “they gather down there near the Occlo docks, in search of some sodden eulogy. As for me, I won’t go near that place! No sir!” “I say let them search and good riddance. Them ruffians bring nothing but trouble and calamity if ya ask me!” The blathering of the two men is interrupted as the bartender slams his hand on the counter, “At least they pay their tabs! More than I’s can say for you two. Now pay up, or get out!” Interested you walk over to the barkeep and ask him to tell you more about the caverns the men were talking about. “Our island’s old, to be sure," the bartender explains, “there’s rumored to be things about this island that not even the eldest of the storytellers can recall. At the begginin' of the drought season this year and with an unnatural tide, a sunken mausoleum to the south of the town has emerged. Tis believed to have submerged under the salty water’s of that lake for the good god's only knows how long.” Your fascination grows and you inquire further about the sunken tombs “Well that’s just it, these warriors and ruffians, as those men say, sure pay their tabs. But it’s the last thing they pay. None who have ventured in have returned." The bartender leans in further and whispers, "I'm not even sure how them's that enter can breathe; best as I can tell, when I went and looked, past the bridge the whole place is still immersed!"

Any chance we could implement a no-mount policy for the dungeon and perhaps HP loss over time, after X amount of minutes?
Two hours is one UO day. If you could hold your breath for 6 minutes, best case, you could do it for maybe 1 minute while swinging a sword and stuff. One minute in game translates to 5 seconds. Forget HP loss, I want everyone DEAD after 5 seconds in this place. ...unless, perhaps we could add SCUBA gear to the plat reward list? Dyeable, of course.
The no mount idea is a good one, it just makes sense. Horses aren't exactly the best swimmers underwater. or at least I thought, lol Anywho, it looks GREAT Chris!!
If anyone would be interested in running a supplies vendor at the house outside the entrance, let me know and I will set you up at the house out front.
