Mount Spitfire's solid granite base brings an abrupt end to the river's
path.  The river's western edge forms a barrier and the water collects in a
basin-like pond.  Thermal mists wafting above the pond display that the
water is significantly warmer than in any other section of the river.  The
water seems to percolate as it is heated by geothermal gasses escaping
through vents in the mountain's side.  An almost imperceptible current pulls
leaves and other forest debris to the rolling bubbles at the mountain's
edge.  Instead of flooding the banks and creating another lake, the water
gradually seems to escape into the side of the mountain.  Listening
carefully, the sound of a hollow trickling can be heard within the mountain.
A large beautiful fish swims past lethargically with scales shimmering in the water.
A small razor-toothed fish circles in search of a meal.
A ferocious piranha begins attacking you!
A ferocious piranha has several minor scratches.
