Eventually, the water became so hot as to boil. A mortal would have probably died in the first few moments of exposure, but it just barely burned the Exalt's flesh.<br/><br/>Still, it would probably be better to leave that room for when there wasn't water to slowly boil her alive. Perhaps the east would be better?<br/><br/>The answer is yes. Going back up, to the east, to the east even more, and then down the stairs leads her to a large room, which seems to be heated independently, probably by some control in the hearthroom, thankfully not nearly to the level of the room on the other side. In fact, it's actually pleasantly warm.<br/><br/>With a bit of poking around, Thunder would find a few well preserved corpses, and three signs all claiming to lead to the same place. Two actually seem to lead either to traps or kind of outwards, and the water down there heats up.
