Vel steps through the circular, rune-carved portal. He feels a tingly, numbness as he passes through, almost like passing through some anesthetic spider web. The feeling quickly passes and is replaced with the small but growing sense of anticipating dread in the pit of his stomach.
He is followed by Halvdan about 40' behind, just barely able to see Vel at the edge of his ever burning sword, following is Avegnum another ten feet behind. The three men slowly, cautiously walk down the natural looking passageway only hearing themselves and the faint sounds of dripping-running water. The tunnel is cool, and moist. The sounds they make echo several times before fully diminishing in the rock-walled emptiness.
Farther and farther they proceed, always heading down, though at no steep angle it is great enough for the surface dwellers to notice. The cavern passageway curves back and forth, side to side, seemingly at random. The tunnel only goes one way, though it widens and narrows around them. Sometimes they have to squeeze through, scraping their armor against wet rock walls, and other times they cannot see both walls at the same time.
For the best part of an hour, as far as they can tell, the three wander deeper and deeper, then after Vel squeezes through a particularly tight spot something grabs him, engulfs him and jostles him around. Though he can feel pressure against him, he feels no pain. The thing holding him avoided his fiendish vision, but it feels like he's inside a giant wet sack full of jelly. It tosses him around a bit, and he finds himself unable to move. While he is able to breath, he feels like he is underwater, and therefore cannot take a breath.

Halvdan and Avegnum simply see Vel struggling to quietly get through a very tight spot, a hole about a couple feet wide and maybe four feet tall, before he disappears through the opening. They continue walking forward until they get to the hole. Halvdan looks through before trying to squeeze his way through, and sees Vel floating in the air in front of him only a couple feet away.
