To find out if it's old, obviously. Like you just said.

As an alien, you have a very good sense of taste and can discern many useful facts from licking things. There is also precedent in /quest/ for characters to have some kind of tongue-related super power, so you were just testing that out as well.

Next roll it in glowy moss to make it also glowy, and proceed to the next chamber. If you feel you can manage it, dunk your head under the water to examine the underwater area for any lost equipment, vials, chains, etc.

Good to know.
Unless you're somehow able to climb up we'll have to keep exploring the cave system.
I actually lost my orientation, just go somewhere we haven't been yet.

Is the tunnel too sheer to climb? Any hanging vegetation? Loose places you could bash your bone against to break up soil and give you handholds? Give it a shot, at least.

Cup your hands around your mouth and shout "Hello? Hello? Help me!" up the opening.
