John, Roderic, and Rosalia each notice as they move into the next area three small, discolored patches on the ceiling. In the dim light, they are difficult to identify though. Everyone else sees a room full of lots of stalactites, stalagmites, and columns, as well as a pool towards the center.
 

"SO Jakakobee, do you see those discolored patches there? You said you can climb...can you climb to those patches there and find out what they are?" John absent mindedly scratches his left arm.
 

Rosalia looks at the ceiling and the pond and says almost to herself: "I don't like this ceiling and I don't like this pond..."

She bends gracefully and picks a stone on the floor. She then says: "Get ready boys!" before throwing the stone in the water. She readies her shortbow, imaging that something would surface suddenly from the water!

If nothing happens she resumes her walk looking for an exit and being mindful of avoiding having any stalagtites above her head..
 



Grok scratches his neck and looks around at the others. He readies his mace for anything that might happen with the spots on the ceiling that he hasn't seen or from the pool.
 

"Yeah, I saw that pool of water too, and I didn't like iether. Now I wonder what...wait, your not going to...Jakobe, look alive. the boat is going to be rocked her in a second."
 


"Spots? No, but I will go check it out. Keep that light raised here Tanner."

Jackobee moves over to the cavern wall near but not directly beneath where John points and rolls up his sleeves. He puts his hands on the wall and begins to scale up the walls. It is not clear in the illumination but shadows play across Jakobee's back, smoky shadows in the shape of vestigal dark wings. Jakobee's ascent is nearly miraculous. It does not look like the hand and footholds he uses could hold a man's weight but he ascends almost effortlessly.
