Unless they got lucky with 3 Fortitude saves, it's likely everyone is sick. But within a minute the negative affects soon pass.
The water here averages only 2 feet deep, and maintains the same unhealthy taint found outside in the Weeping Lake. The foul-smelling air makes the eyes water in this cave, but despite this worrying effect, has no further impact on creatures. Scorch marks on the shore are all that remain of patches of (harmless) mold that previous adventurers burned away.
Dampness hangs in the air of this cave, condensing into heavy moisture on the slick, stone walls. The calm, dark waters continue northward for 20' to 30' then wind around to the east, out of sight. A five-foot-high ledge sporting several stalagmites rises to the east, beyond which a low-ceilinged cave beckons.

[OoC: You are currently standing on the shore (the light beige area) close to the top left-hand corner. Where do you want to go? Is there anything you still wanted to do or anything you see that needs further exploring?]
[OoC2: To the new players; everything revealed on the map has been pretty much cleared out. There are a few skulks hiding, but they're currently allied to the group. The exit out of this area is in the bottom right-hand corner.]
