The Pool in the Cave

They walk west and along the way they hear the roar of rushing water. They come upon the top of a waterfall which is further away from them. They see a path and a small wooden boat in the river. Lady Amyra and Bialer notice steps leading down but they cannot see where they lead to. Bialer takes a closer look at the steps – the ones toward the bottom are wet because of the waterfall. After some deliberation they decide to head down the stairs. As they reach the bottom Tyro crosses the path under the waterfall with a safety rope tied around his waist. He gets across and call out to the others that there are more steps on that side heading downwards. They all decide to cross the path to the other side. Quinn slips but manages to catch hold of the rope; the others all pass through without any problems though Dworin stumbles his way across slowly. They notice a stone table and chair in the cavern and Quinn notices a few bubbles in the water. Bialer aims an arrow at the bubble and fires but misses. Lady Amyra casts DETECT EVIL but doesn’t detect anything in the cavern. Tyro decides to explore the area looking for traps but finds nothing. Bialer casts RAY OF FROST on the pool of water and a surface of thin ice spreads across the pool. Dworin takes a look at the chair and table, and upon the table he sees scraps of fish. Tyro breaks the ice and throws in a scrap of fish but to no reaction. The others throw in the stone table and chair but still there is no reaction from the pool. As they are about to climb out they notice another set of stairs leading up so they climb up those and find themselves on the other side of the river. They continue to head north along rough terrain.
