The rain is cool and prevents sleeping any longer but really poses no difficulty. Once it is light enough to see, everything is laid out so that it can dry, including pack harnesses. The two pack animals are allowed to forage on their own.[ooc]Sannit ties one of the thicker sisal rope leaders to Bolo's waist before she and Turtle enter the pool. Sheldon since he is already wet, decides to join them in investigating the depths and strips down to only his kilt. He dips a leg in the pool testing the water.[/ooc]"The water is cool but not cold. I think this morning's rain might have even warmed the temperature some, though it has also clouded the visibility a bit."[gm]Bolo and Sheldon find that being able to see while submerged is much easier than expected. The bottom of the pool is comprised of a dark stone, making peering into it difficult, but looking around while under the water proves to have no interference.The bottom is littered with refuse, especially the bones of many animals. There is a myriad of small fish, crustaceans, and mollusks that populate the pool, thriving from the leavings of the two former serpents, but no large fish. Some of the mollusks are noted to be about the size of a man's palm, which is large for a fresh water variety.Neither Bolo nor Sheldon sense any danger in the water. The bear, who cannot really dive, seems to be thoroughly enjoying playing in the water. As the diving becomes more comfortable, several ruined weapons and useless pieces of armoring are retrieved from the bottom, but nothing of value or use. The only real interesting thing in the pool seems to be the large clams.Exploring near the top fall, however, reveals a groto washed out behind the roiling water. The groto opens up above the water line to a small cave that appears to be wear the snakes slept, for it too is littered with bones and refuse. Sifting through the debris reveals several items of value, 9 Ansylin Clams, 20 copper ingots, 1 unknown white metal ingot, 2 quartz stones, 8 amber stones, 5 dark grey stones, and 5 agate stones.[/gm][ooc]After Bolo, Turtle, and Sheldon exit the pool, everyone uses way to dry clothing and other belongings. No food supplies were damaged due to the rain. The pack animals are reloaded.[/ooc][gm]If any further action is desired regarding the pool or other specific tasks or specifics concerning the eggs, please state so; otherwise, the party will now be considered to be continuing on its journey.[/gm]</blockquote>
