So the party learned they need to go back to the Pool of Elemental Arcana. They used the revelation Quill to learn they need something from the Vault of Greed.
Elemental Arcana:
They climbed into the water searching it, and gathered around the pool. Some of the party failed their saving rolls and I rolled the d6. After they learned they need water and retrieved it they left the room. The Cleric then wanted to cast Lesser Restoration to restore the ability scores he lost. The question I had was, was this loss temporary or permanent. It doesn't say anywheres within the discription of the room

Are you talking about this passage? Note the bolded portion:
Spoiler:
Failure results in 1d6 points of Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma drain as the character's soul is siphoned away and converted into raw magic by the pool. Physical contact with the pool's waters imparts a -4 penalty on the save.
Drain is always permanent, so the restoration spell (not lesser) will be required to remove the ability drain.
Hopefully this helps! ^_^
