What next?
The small pool of water
The pool is a bright, crystal blue, unlike the unnaturally clear liquid in the well earlier. It's taken over almost a full quarter of the room, as it is somehow ringed by rock outcroppings that have pushed into the surrounding floor and walls, themselves covered in a bright green moss that reminds you of the inviting green of the room with the well.
You step forwards, leaning down on a knee to pass a single hand through the water. It flows smoothly, ripples echoing across the small surface. It seems like a calm pool, and while you briefly consider taking a quick bath, you decide that continuing on is more important, and you don't know what could be just under the surface.
