-Despite its omnious aura, you feel a strange impulse that compels you to [[enter the portal|krowbar-start]].
+Set in the stone floor, you see a large pool of water, twice your height wide, rippling with a malevolent, purple glow. Thin, flowing tendrils reach out of the portal, embrasing the narrow, steel frame around its edge. Small rocks, glowing orange, blue, and green circle the pool and gently bob up and down in the air. Despite its omnious aura, you feel a strange impulse that compels you to [[enter the pool|krowbar-start]].
