 There is something about the noise emanating from the well that piques your curiosity. It sounds human yet cannot be so, and you wonder if the wind has found some way into the base of the well. Whatever the reason it will take only a few moments to check the inside of the shaft.
Carefully you peer over the stone lip and immediately feel a strong breeze blowing up from its depths. It is evident that the wind has found some access to the well's lower levels and is generating the unnatural lament as it forces its way through some unseen break in its circular stone facing. It is a mystery that has proved easy to unveil, but as you look deeper into the well you see the glimmer of something metallic jammed into its stone surface just above the waterline. Within the gloom it appears to be a medallion of some type, attached to a heavy silver chain and probably of considerable value.
The well is only a metre and a half wide and there are enough joins and breaks in the inner wall to allow a relatively safe descent to take the piece from its unusual resting place. You look to the approaching weather and then at Pallenten. Perhaps you can spare a few minutes to recover it.

If you would like to climb down into the well and retrieve the medallion turn to section 437. If you believe that there is no time and you should move on quickly, turn to section 455. If however, you have the skill of Bushcraft turn to section 448 first.
