	Cromwell looks up at the loud sound, startled, he then looks at the
hazard the pool of water is forming.  Cromwell apparently decides on an action
as he casts a spell.  The water starts steaming and evaporating at an
incredible rate, negating the hazard.  Unfortunatly the ice is now melting at a
much faster rate as well.  Cromwell says one word,"OOPS!"
	Cromwell then sits back down and looks around, hoping that no one
noticed in the crowd of people in the inn.
