You have to wade up to your waists in the outskirts of the pond and slip in behind the waterfall, that pelts against your head. Somehow, Kel is able to keep the flame in the lantern dry by hunching his body over it as he moves through behind Alexander.
The cave is rough in shape, and descends steadily downwards. The ceiling is nearly ten feet in height, while the cavern is narrow, with only five feet on average width. A natural ledge forms a foot over your heads and continues to match the slope downwards at an angle. It looks like a small creature could fit up there, but unfortunately you are missing Rix.
It looks as if the cave widens into a larger cavern after another seventy feet down, although the light from the lantern and the sunlight from outside barely lets you see into it. You can hear something breathing heavily in the distance, although it doesn't move and seems oblivious to your presence. A few stripped bones from humanoid bones lay strewn by your feet.
