But it was only a "Feign Death" spell. He came to as we were literally dragging his sorry carcass back to town. When I realized Bill's character was still alive, do you think I went back to being pissed?

A short, incomplete list of possible pool contents (derived from personal experience as both gamer and DM): Acid Poison Water Gateway to another dimension Some sort of liquid monster Ordinary water with monsters living in it Ordinary water containing a curse Magical potions
Most magic potion pools contain only one kind of potion. Those that carry several types (effects usually determined by random dice roll) often cause problems for dungeon-delvers who take more than one drink (sometimes the potions mix, and the effects can include internal explosions- this is usually fatal).
Kingsley failed to mention that the LAST such pool we encountered had a voracious appetite for metal. Metal dropped into it INSTANTLY corroded to uselessness. A little caution would not, therefore, be unwarranted.
Let us now return to Kingsley's narrative and discover what ELSE he has left unsaid ...
B: Fandrell puts a halberd in it. J: OK, it gets wet.Hmmm ... No mention of the examination of the metal to see if new corrosion was present. No mention of
( ... )
He's just playing a cautious character. He's trying to figure out how to jury-rig an engine to find out if the poisonous sucking water elementals will snake up our nostrils if we touch it.
And let us not forget the monster disguised as a curtain that nearly smothered Fandrell to death despite his great strength and heavy armor. There's a reason Fandrell is cautious.
Somebody's got to be around to pull Calen's chestnuts out of the fire, after all.
