M’ir hauls himself up onto the edge of the copper bowl once experimentation proves the flames to be heatless, and with some help from Azrin they sort their way through the litter of assorted rubbish and offerings obviously made by the troglodytes over the decades. A few good things are found - four recently made healing potions, a masterwork shortsword and buckler, a copper statue of a dragon and some assorted silver Marks.Of much more interest is the opening in the wall revealed by the dragon statue moving away.

After walking for about fifteen minutes they become aware of a subtle trembling in the ground and a far-off sound of rumbling amidst the white noise of fast moving water. A vertical shaft is passed with the aid of a knotted rope - which must have been left by surviving heroes of the bell.
