[QUOTE="John Dallman, post: 9465042, member: 6999616"] There is a mysterious well, which has darkness and elemental water magic in it. It's about 16 feel in diameter, about 250 feet deep, with about 190 feet of water in it. The darkness starts at water level and continues to the bottom (or does it? - writing these posts helps me spot things I missed in-session). The water table in the area is only about 10' below ground. The top 10' of the shaft is masonry; the rest of the shaft has smooth stone walls, until about 40' from the bottom where cracks in the rock start, so the well presumably taps an aquifer. Water taken out of the well is no longer magical, and seems to be fine: there's a village that has been drinking it for a couple of centuries. The well itself is ancient: our method of dating really old things is not at all precise, but it's in the bracket that may be as old as the world. That's why it's interesting. Our paladin has items that give him Adaptation and sonar, and went in and down to the bottom. There wasn't much there: a few bits of junk that have fallen in, a little weed and a few snails - hang on, what is the weed living on with no light? [/QUOTE]
