'When I arrived at the Vile Maw and made my way to the doors, I stopped immediately as I began to push on them. I heard thrashing on the water and unintelligible screams from within. I was not reared to be a fool, and so I came down here to think.

'While walking along the water's edge, I noticed ooze filtering out of the stone near the water where the drains would push the run-off from within. I came running back here and have not gone near the water since.

'You seeem and adveturous sort. Perhaps you would care to take a sample of the water near the edge for me. You will not have to travel far.. anywhere to the north-west or north-east should suffice.'
