The Gift of Time

I nearly fucking died. That thing with the crystal sitting on top of it was indeed a switch. I moved it, and then a large hanging thing moved up. It revealed an opening in the ground. Me and Tara looked into the opening, and there was another deep pool of water. I told Tara to wait by the opening while I went into the water to see if there were any artifacts in there. She told me it wasn't a good idea, but I assured her that I'd be okay and that I would be back very soon.

Well, something snagged my leg, and I ended up getting stuck. I was drowning. Fortunately, I was able to use the gift of time at the last moment. Just like the last time I used the gift of time in a vault, it brought me to the vault's entrance. However, all of my equipment is gone this time. That means all of my stuff must be in that pool of water. I'm literally just standing here in my underwear.

Tara must be freaking out right now. I told her I'd be out of the water very shortly. I'm gonna have to make my way back to that area as fast as possible. Hopefully, I won't run into any giant fishmen because I wouldn't stand a chance against them without my sword and armor.
