#AREA Hill Giants Cave~ Serth Orb~ Hill Giants Cave~ 25 0 0 #ROOMS #32000 Large Cave Entrance~ Before you, a very large opening in the hillside seems to split the hill in half. The yawning mouth of the cave is enormous, and seems to engulf the surrounding terrain. The hard-packed, dirt path slopes downward oward it, leading into darkness. Two large boulders on either side of the cave entrance keep loose stones and dirt from spilling into the massive cavern. A small path leads up to a ledge above the mouth of the cave. ~ [Moxie] o spar push bould 'sparky tries unsuccessfully tries to move a boulder."

A large cave entrance at the bottom of the hill to the north draws your attention. The small foothills surrounding this place make it seem like a valley. The smaller hills are dwarfed by a large mound to the north. The huge, snow-capped spires of the Cairn mountains in the distance loom over the hillside. ~ ~ 301465600 4 8 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 -1 32000 10 10 5 D2 ~ ~ 0 -1 32003 10 10 5 -1 S #32003 Before A Small Hill~ This muddy path has taken you to the base of a small hill. Just beyond it, the top of a more rough looking hill can be seen. The path up the hill seems more stable, with a few pebbles packed into its hard dirt. The few wild bushes around you have been trampled down, and what little wild grass there is seems to be dying, its color a faint brown. ~ ~ 301465600 2 8 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 -1 32002 10 10 5 D2 ~ ~ 0 -1 32004 10 10 5 -1 S #32004 Bend In The Muddy Path~ The path bends around the beginning of a small hill and continues to the north. Your feet sink into the dark mud, making it an effort to walk at normal pace. You can see more small, grey hills to the east, and a larger one to the north. There are a few wild flowers trampled by the side of the path, and a dying sapling grows just to the south, many of its branches are broken and limp. ~ ~ 301465600 2 8 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 -1 32003 10 10 5 D1 ~ ~ 0 -1 32005 10 10 5 E sapling~ Destined to be a grand oak, this small tree looks nearly dead. Its small branches have been snapped at the base. ~ -1 S #32005 Muddy Path~ Entering the foothills of the Cairn Mountains, the snow-capped peaks loom above you in the distance to the north. The foothills themselves are a rocky, barren area covered with little more than mud and stones. The occassional gnarled pine struggles to stand against the ever present mountain wind. A rather vague path winds its way westward, covered in soupy, black mud. ~ ~ 301465600 2 6 0 D2 ~ ~ 0 -1 28018 10 10 5 D3 ~ ~ 0 -1 32004 10 10 5 380 9 1509949540 3 0 -1 S #32006 On The Steep Hill~ This small path winds its way up the steep face of this hill. Jagged rocks all around you make for a dangerous walk, but the stone path seems smooth and safe. The path winds its way up to the ledge, and back down to the cave entrance. ~ ~ 301465608 5 6 0 D4 ~ ~ 0 -1 32007 10 10 5 D5 ~ ~ 0 -1 32000 10 10 5 A smell~ flowers~ if( rflag( reset0, room ) ) { remove_rflag( reset0, room ); send_to_char( #to_char, ch ); act_notchar( #to_room, ch ); mload( 315, room ); } else { send_to_char( #fail_char, ch ); act_notchar( #to_fail, ch ); } ~ E to_fail~ $n bends over and takes a deep sniff from the flowers. ~ E fail_char~ You bend over and smell the sweet scent of the flowers. ~ E to_room~ $n bends over to smell the flowers and disturbs an angry bee which attacks $m. ~ E to_char~ As you smell the flowers, you disturb an angry bee which flies up to attack you. ~ ! 0 0 0 -1 S #32007 On A Ledge~ You are on a ledge that overlooks the terrain south. You can almost see over the hills to the east and west, and can make out strange patterns in the wild grass growing in the foothills down below. They look like giant footprints, leading to this particular cavern. Looking down, you can see the small dirt path and the small hill far below. The wind here blows dirt and small rocks from the wall behind you, pelting you with tiny stings. There is a small beehive on a large rock above you. ~ ~ 301465600 4 6 0 D5 ~ ~ 0 -1 32006 10 10 5 E beehive~ This beehive is quite large, more so than you have ever seen.

The dirt path is packed down hard, and you can make out giant footprints heading north. Small streams of water trickle down the stone walls, making them slick to the touch. ~ ~ 301465604 0 7 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 -1 32010 10 10 5 D2 ~ ~ 0 -1 32001 10 10 5 -1 S #32009 Western Tunnel~ This dirt path has fallen into disuse. Dusty and littered with small stones, it bears small resemblance to the hard-packed dirt at the entrance to the cave. The rough, stone walls are covered with jagged rocks and clusters of clear quartz. The main tunnel curves to the north, with a smaller tunnel continuing west. ~ ~ 301465612 0 7 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 -1 32012 10 10 5 D1 ~ ~ 0 -1 32001 10 10 5 D3 ~ ~ 0 -1 32013 10 10 5 59 9 1509949540 3 0 314 9 1509949540 3 0 -1 S #32010 Tunnel~ The tunnel seems to slope here, leading into another large chamber in the cave. You can hear faint sounds of running water down to the north as well as the horrible stench of decay. Small quartz crystals shimmer in these walls and rocks. Several scars show where larger crystals have been ripped from the walls. ~ ~ 301465604 0 7 0 D2 ~ ~ 0 -1 32008 10 10 5 D5 ~ ~ 0 -1 32011 10 10 5 E quartz crystals~ The clear, pointed crystals bristle from the walls like shimmering spikes. ~ -1 S #32011 At The Underground Lake~ This wide cavern houses a shallow, underground lake. The water is crystal clear; bottom of the pool is quite evident. To the west, a small waterfall flows into the lake from a high ledge, the roar of the falling water echoing through the cavern. Huge, jagged rocks prevent any westward movement, blocking off access to the waterfall. The dirt path turns into packed clay that leads east into another giant opening in the rock. ~ ~ 301465604 0 7 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 -1 32016 10 10 5 D4 ~ ~ 0 -1 32010 10 10 5 314 9 1509949540 3 0 1 17 1509949540 -2 0 1872 17 1509949540 -2 0 -1 S #32012 Tunnel~ Faint sounds of water can be heard as you enter this part of the tunnel. The packed dirt turns into rock to the north, and the passage gradually slopes downward from where a misty breeze blows, bringing the scent of minerals. Bat guano covers the western rocks beside the path. ~ ~ 301465604 0 7 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 -1 32021 10 10 5 D2 ~ ~ 0 -1 32009 10 10 5 314 9 1509949540 3 0 -1 S #32013 Small Tunnel~ This low tunnel almost forces you to duck to avoid the small rocks that cling to the ceiling. Water pours from cracks in the walls in a steady stream collecting in between two stalagmites, forming a small pool of sorts. A large calcium deposit shaped like a column extends down to the ground, the dim light making it glow like a lantern. There is a small hole in the west wall. ~ ~ 301465604 0 5 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 -1 32009 10 10 5 E hole~ The hole looks large enough to crawl into. ~ A crawl enter~ hole~ send_to_char( #char, ch ); act_notchar( #room, ch ); transfer( ch, find_room( 32014 ) ); act_notchar( #arr, ch ); ~ E arr~ $n climbs into the hole. ~ E room~ $n crawls into a hole. ~ E char~ You crawl into a hole. ~ ! 0 0 0 -1 S #32014 In A Hole~ This small, cramped hole was bored roughly out of solid rock. Sharp edges from the poorly cut stone scrape you at every breath. Littered rubble, the floor is covered with jagged stones. To the south, the tiny tunnel turns to hard-packed dirt or you can crawl back out of the hole to the east. ~ ~ 301465604 5 4 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 -1 32013 10 10 5 D2 ~ ~ 0 -1 32015 10 10 5 -1 S #32015 In A Hole~ This small hole is almost too narrow to crawl through. You can see small worms crawling about, squirming in the dirt. After inching your way far into the ground, you can see that you can go north, farther into the hole, or you can crawl up to the surface. The glint of metal in the dirt just catches your eye. ~ [Merior] this dagger hilt could be used in some custom item - seems to have been forgotten about.

The sounds of water echo off the large walls throughout this cavernous tunnel. A ledge high on the north wall disappears into the eastern rock face right above the tunnel. Large, flat rocks jut out of the north wall, forming a crude, yet climbable, staircase to the ledge. The path continues to the east and west. ~ ~ 301465604 0 7 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 -1 32018 10 10 5 D3 ~ ~ 0 -1 32011 10 10 5 D4 ~ ~ 0 -1 32017 10 10 5 872 17 1509949450 -2 0 -1 S #32017 A Ledge~ This ledge overlooks a small path below. Large, flat rocks set into the wall make it possible to gain access to it. You can continue on this edge, as it leads through the west wall into another tunnel. Faint sounds of water echo off the walls, breaking the silence. ~ ~ 301465604 4 7 0 D3 ~ ~ 0 -1 32019 10 10 5 D5 ~ ~ 0 -1 32016 10 10 5 314 9 1509949540 3 0 314 9 1509949540 3 0 -1 S #32018 Tunnel~ The dirt path ends here at a pile of rubble. The tunnel to the east has collapsed, littering the floor with chunks of rock and other scattered debris. Dust, still unsettled from must have been a recent cave-in, partially obscures your view of the rubble. An ominous rumbling sound discourages closer examination. ~ ~ 301465604 0 7 0 D3 ~ ~ 0 -1 32016 10 10 5 E pile rubble~ This pile of stones and dirt was produced from a recent cave-in.
