> Onward to that gap! Try not to trip over anything ourselves, though.
>You proceed onward!
>Making your way through the crystalline tunnels, you find it's rather a shame that Maribel can't see what is around her, she would likely be fascinated by this. As it stands, she comments on the echos that your footsteps make, now that there is something substantial to walk on and make echoes. The sound of dripping water soon comes; Maribel notices shortly after you do, when she cocks her head at the sound.
>Before long, you arrive at the stalactite chamber again. The immense network of intertwined crystal stalactites hands silently overhead, large enough that a small mansion could conceivably be built among its framework. Save for the odd drop of water falling into the poor of clear water that takes up much of the floor, the chamber is quiet. Looking upward, you can see where the gap is, among a trio of stalactites near the leftmost edge of the structure, some dozens of feet up, forming a kind of natural balcony.
