Your tempered weapon gains one might. Your blood capacity has grown by one.
You walk under the lake as if under a low, black ceiling. Fish drift through the rafters of drowned houses. Somewhere a child sings one line of a lullaby, over and over.
Small lights move in a drainage channel to the east. The creature that swallowed them could refill your lantern. The song comes from the west.
Choose your way

Wade into the lamp-sump / hunt a creature full of fire
