Special rules for the room:

The water is nearly 4 feet deep in the flooded area. It costs Medium or larger creatures 4 squares of movement to move into a flooded square, or characters can swim if they wish. Small or smaller creatures must swim to move through a square. Tumbling through these squares is impossible.

Pulling oneself up onto the elevated platform at the far end of the room requires a successful Climb check.

The heavy barrels in the water block movement, but it is possible to dive under them with a successful Swim check.

Getting onto a barrel requires a move action and a successful Acrobatics check. Any character who starts her turn on a barrel or jumps onto a barrel must also succeed at an Acrobatics check or fall into the water.

As a move action, a character who succeeds at a Strength check can move a barrel 5 feet. For every 5 points the check result exceed the DC, the character can move the barrel an additional 5 feet.
