Whether cloudspores are truly dangerous is debated among scholars. Nobody has reported any immediate ill effects, but miners sometimes come down with a condition called "blight lung", in which filaments of fungus grow in the lungs, making breathing difficult. Some attribute it to repeated breathing of cloudspore; others believe that cloudspores are too rare to account for it. Regardless, blight lung only ever develops after years underground, so a few exposures is probably safe.

The only exits from the room are the tunnel you entered by, a set of stairs leading down to the water's edge, and a set leading up to to another tunnel. The river looks fast enough that it would be dangerous to try to navigate.
The tiny humanoids are wearing only coveralls and carrying picks and a handful of darts. However, in the tumbled stone beneath the ledge, where one of the tommyknockers was hacking at the cliff with its pick, you see the glint of silver. Digging through the rock you discover a handful of silver nuggets worth 200 silver pieces.
On the wall near the far exit stairs is a forth bracket, identical to those that hold the glowing balls that serve as lamps. This one, however, holds a clear ball of cut crystal.

Some experimentation will reveal that this is an Orb of Far Seeing +1.
