    Burning torches are positioned throughout the cavern, and cast a
wide range of color onto the walls. Only the sapphires embedded into
the smooth stone improve the light. In the center of the room, there
is a large pool of hot water. The steam drifts lazily from the surface,
reminding you of lamenting spirits. You hear a faint dripping sound
as a drop of water hits the surface of the pool from above, making it
ripple slightly. This would be an amazing place to relax in the warm
inviting spring.
    The only obvious exits are up and east.
