Flip this card back over. Come back when you have a greater understanding of this region. This card may be flipped over again when you are ready.

You row farther out, into deeper, darker waters, but there is still no sign of any other shore. Under the surface of the black, tarry liquid, you can see a series of glittering stars, like an unknown constellation beckoning you forward. If you didn't know any better, you would think it was a reflection of the sky above, but there is no sky in this dark realm. You lean over the edge of your boat and nearly vomit from the sensation of vertigo that assaults you. It must be hundreds of miles deep, and filled with horrors beyond your imagining. And yet, you know what you must do...

The investigators must spend 3 clues, as a group.

Flip this card back over and advance the current act.
