Ooops, I meant to actually write something:
Mark, what is the weather like, specifically, and what is the general climate in this area?
Also, does the jet of water and the hole in the cliff look natural or is it some ancient feat of dwarven engineering that has diverted some underground river?

The climate is chilly and wet. The area is probably covered in ice for 1/2 the year, mainly due to the elevation. Otherwise think of high moutain, just below the tree line. Short days, normally cold nights except it is getting to be late spring/early summer.
There are no obvious contruction marks but you are still hundreds of yards away. The erosion pattern looks to be centuries or more old. While it does not look millenia old it has obviously been this way for tens of centuries.

Mund turns addresses Allistair and Salix. "Well, we're here. Now what? Y'all gonna magik up a doorway for us?"

"Spectacular," Salix exclaims as he stands in awe of the sight of the enormous fountain of water spewing from the cliff face. "Does our path take us closer?"
As the others in the group pull their clothing tighter to avoid the mists and dampness, Salix throws back the hood of his cloak despite the chill. The mist dampens his hair so that it sparkles in the dying sunlight. He seems to relish the dampness, spreading his arms as if drawing energy from the waterfall itself and throwing back his head as he tries to take in the whole of it before the darkness overcomes his sight.
"Behold the glories of Nature, my fellows," he says to the group with awe and appreciation in his voice. "Obad-Hai must love this land indeed."

Allistair takes an appraising look at the spectacular waterfall. His instinct tells him that it is not natural, but without a closer inspection it would be hard to determine. Well, if it is necessary at least he can fly up there, but if the portal opens up there it will be difficult to get the entire party up there, to say the least.
Allistair approaches Ragnar with some questions. "I know the prophesy says little about it, but do you have any idea what kind of a portal we are looking for? Any ideas on how we are supposed to detect or find it? A week to find the portal may be woefully short depending on how large of an area we might need to search. Are there any other conspicuous locations or landmarks nearby? Those are probably the most obvious places to begin a search."

Ok I will write up another turn tomorrow late morning early afternoon.
If you want your character to do anything before then please do so.
