You awake groggily to the sound of dripping. Opening your eyes, you can still barely see, wherever you are is bitch black. You suddenly realize you're soaking wet and floating in a pool of water. Good thing you didn't land face down...
You right yourself and you're glad to find that you can touch the bottom, though the water comes up to just above your naval.
As you feel around in the darkness, you almost trip over something in the water. Too bad you're completely soaked, your torch would come in handy right now, but it's doubtful you'd be able to get it burning. As you continue to feel your way through the water, you get to a wall, it's flat and made up of smooth bricks. You give a sigh of relief, you were worried you'd fallen into some forsaken cavern, but it looks like you're still in the catacombs, possibly flooded from the nearby river.
As you continue to feel along the wall you come across a ledge, and start to hoist yourself out of the water. Just as you do, you feel something grab your legs and yank you back in.
"WHAT THE HELL?" You shout in surprise, standing back up in the water, you suddenly realize whatever it was took one of your boots in the struggle. It's too dark to see, but you're sure it's still in the water with you.
