You are in a small chamber composed of green malachite and blue azurite. In the center is
a large round basin of green crystal. Water pours into the basin from a sinewy shape
of carved aquamarine in the center of the font. As you get closer, the water in the
basin begins to swirl and churn...coalescing into a vaguely serpentine shape...
which appears to be regarding you intently.
There is a passage leading south.
