!! SUCCESS - I finally figured it out, the old mad man in the lab - he wanted his "spawn - eye thingy back" i DIVED into the pool East, and found a new cavern, and the eye and 3 other creatures. I defeated the creatures and the eye. Took it back and was then given the scroll of reversal.
I have been suck on this bit for 6 months
I just failed to go to that particular pool.
