The Ant Tunnels - Below a Hole Outside~
You stand below the entrance to an anthill. A steep slope curves
upwards and a sharp shaft of light cuts down from the hole above. Dust
motes float around, and the dry air here smells musty. The tunnel
extends off to the south and the east; you squint to see further but it
is too dark to make out much of anything.

The Ant Tunnels~
The walls seem to be made of dry clay that crumbles to dust as you run
your hand along it to help keep your balance. The darkness to the south
of here looks dark as black velvet, but to the north you can see a slice
of faint light. Dust hangs in the air here, filling your throat as you
breathe.

The dry floor here crunches a bit as you move, and the sound seems to

The Ant Tunnels - Sand and Clay~
The walls are more pinched to the north as the tunnel narrows between two
boulders. Small grooves line the sand and clay walls, crevicing the cool
surface and giving the walls an uneven and unreliable appearance. Sand
lies in small piles along the floor and sides of the wall. Occasional
motes of dust float in the dry air.

The Ant Tunnels - Moldy Room~
The clay walls are damp and your nose wrinkles at the dank, mildewy
smell of the tunnel. Mold lines the sides of the tunnel floor, marking a
pathway obviously much-used. The tunnel walls move away from each other
to the south, making for a wider tunnel.

The Ant Tunnels - Domed Room~
The dug hallway widens at this point, forming a dome-like ceiling where
three tunnels form a T. From the north you hear small echoes of dripping
water; from the west and east you can hear the occasional scrabble
of creatures moving about. Although it is humid and dank here from the
wet north tunnel, the smell of fresh earth hangs in the air.

Moist clumps of sand break away to crumble and scatter down the damp

Ant Tunnels - Sandy Passage~
The gnawed ends of roots poke through the dry soil where they are showing
signs of decay amidst the humid air. The air to the north seems to be
several degrees warmer and carries with it the stench of dying vegetation.
The air is relatively still this deep in the tunnels so the change in the
air, cooler and much less rancid smelling, is sudden and noticable to the
south.

Ant Tunnels - Sandy Passage~
The earthen strata shows definite alterations in the soil type. As the
tunnel angles downward to the south the bands of dark, moist clay
increase and run together until they presumably comprise the entire wall
further into the darkness. Where the tunnel angles upwards to the north
the dark bands disappear almost completely to be overtaken by the lighter
sand and hardened clay.

Ant Tunnels - Sandy Passage~
The damp clay of the walls is speckled with the grit of dry sandy patches
where the moisture has evaporated. Mold seems to proliferate around the
rim of the opening where this tunnel opens eastward into another. Though
the tunnel to the north narrows some it also slants slightly upward to a
dryer zone of soil.

The Ant Tunnels~
Small echoes reach your ears, indicating activity in other parts of the
nest. Dust motes hang in the air of this dry tunnel, but from somewhere
to the west, you hear the faint dripping of water. Eastward a faint,
green glow eases the darkness somewhat; a darkness that only deepens as
you travel further from the wan light source.

The Ant Tunnels~
This tunnel looks half-finished, the walls, floor and ceiling clotted and

The Ant Tunnels~
The stench of death clings to the stale air and to the slime-covered mud
walls. This tunnel looks to have been begun, then hastily abandoned. It
is small and amorphous, the walls are rough, the floor swampy. On the
ceiling is a large, vaguely rectangular hole. Directly beneath the hole
is an old wooden coffin, rotted with water damage and caked with mud.

Foot of a Muddy Slope~
An oozing sludge gathers here as water slides down a muddy slope to
mingle with the already soft clay floor. The walls are rippled,
glistening clay, dripping murky water. An acrid stench drifts through the
icy air seeming to come from the west. A large tunnel heads west, or a
muddy slope heads up to another tunnel.

This enormous chamber is roughly circular, the clay walls soaring to meet

chamber narrows out to the north and heads toward a tunnel, while to the
west it grows even larger.
