I realized after I got off line that I should have clarified that in my mind the well was large, ancient, and dry.  That basically these were either fey spirit fish or the ghosts of fish long dead.  However a tiny hollow with a small but deep, dark pool works well.  As the PCs approach, while seeking Itana, they hear voices, to distant to be made out clearly.  Perhaps they approach the pool as a source of water, perhaps looking for the voices.  From the depth a glow comes, red and blue and yellow swirling together. The voices get louder.  Soon they can see the fish.  The fish continue to rise, and are now obviously the source of the voices (perhaps they have beautiful human faces).  The continue to rise until they are floating in the air above the pool, still swiming as if in the water.  The fish are talking to one another of world events, some of which the PCs should recognize (an event in their village, things from their back ground, or major events from the capaign world).  They speak to each other in a bable of languages, shift in mid sentence from one to the other.  When one of the PCs speaks or moves the fish notice them and begins to move around them, always staying out of reach.  Now the fish begin to talk to one another about the PCs.  If asked questions they are ignored, but the conversation of the fish remains in common, or another language they all know, and does adress the subject of the questions.  Such as how Itana may be found.After a little bit of this, once the fish have conveyed some useful imformation, and possibly some very cryptic information about the future of the PCs, they suddenly all stop and speak as one "The fisherman comes!" and dart back into the depths of the pool.  At that point something comes out of the  wood to attack the PCs for messng with "his" or "her" fish.  You can insert one of your monsters here, or an insane hermit/mage who long ago found the fish and became obsessed with them.  He now seeks to catch one but never has.From this point the PCs should have a clearer idea of where Itana can be found and can proceed to the penultimate encounters.</blockquote>
