Either Jann has wiped out all the nearby spiders or the others have learned to leave well enough alone; they are not bothered by further creatures. After three more caves, two more dark patches, a waterfall of molten gold, and a distressingly unstable rope bridge Emmalina's doing her best not to think about ever again, they make it to the well.
The cavern's enormous, full of large blocks of granite scattered haphazardly throughout the cave. Emmalina eyes their disorder uncomfortably. The dragons move the boulders away from the well periodically, or it would get too crowded to approach, but dragons are not tidy creatures and there isn't any rhyme or reason to it.
She tries to put the scattered boulders out of her mind and waves at the circular basin at the end of the room. "There you go," she tells him. Other phrases float through her mind- good luck, don't use the gold dipper, congratulations, aren't you glad you made it- but they all feel wrong, somehow, and she keeps her mouth shut.
