Ivan walks over to pool j and dips his finger in the liquid and then 
licks it off. Aardvarkin asks him what it tastes like, but Ivan just 
shrugs and cups his hands into the greenish liquid and takes a nice, 
long slurp. Ivan instantly keels over, nearly falling into the pool. 
Aardvarkin quickly bends down to see if the gladiator is alright. It 
turns out that Ivan is asleep! The thief shakes his comrade violently, 
and he wakes up again.

"Say," Aardvarkin mutters. "This stuff could be really useful. Does 
anyone have a flask? I'm out.."

Meanwhile, Carideth aids the gnomes in destroying the door. Before long, 
the oaken door is totally decimated. Peering through, Carideth sees a 
passageway that extends east for about forty feet. At the end of the 
passage on the right wall is another oaken door.

"Hey, that's not right!" exclaims one of the gnomes, and rushes off to 
find his leader. The captain hustles over, bathed in a blue aura (an 
after-effect of drinking out of pool i, he explains), and walks down the 
corridor to inspect the hall.

"This isn't right!" he barks, to no one in particular. "Where's our 
hole?" Frantically, the gnomes begin searching the surrounding walls. 
They are soon joined by Carideth and Malcolm.

"What, exactly, are we searching for?" they ask.

"The hole we came in through," replies the gnome leader. "It's vanished! 
Well, boys, better get to work digging a new one. You prisoners better 
stay here. This may take awhile."

There is naught you can do but marvel at these creatures' stupidity as 
the gnomes obediently begin hacking away at the stone wall on the far 
end of the corridor.
