Small Clearing at the Base of a Cliff~
Set off to the side of the trail, this small clearing is sparsely dotted

with tufts of grass.  Rimmed by sharp stones and a sheer cliff face to

the west, the clearing seems a great place to rest.  Rounded boulders

poke from beneath the hard-packed dirt, and the remains of several small

fire pits can clearly be seen.

tufts grass~
The grass grows in thick tufts along the edges and cracks of the boulders. 

The grass is browned, and must be quite tough to live in this cold

climate.

~
E
boulders rounded~
These large boulders are half buried in the hard packed dirt.  Tufts of

grass sprout from the ground near the boulders.  Made of granite, the

boulders are rounded by the weather and erosion.

~
E
fire pits~
Remnants of past fire pits can clearly be seen in the clearing.  Dark ash

and charred sticks fill some of the old pits.

Spacious Ledge on the Rock Face~
The cool stone of the rock face is quite rough.  Handholds and places to

stand abound, although they are spaced far enough apart to make the climb

difficult.  Below you can see a small clearing ringed by boulders.  By

the looks of things you could climb still higher.

Near a Crack in the Wall~
The chipped wall of stone rises still higher, but a large overhang

prevents further movement up.  Far below you, a small clearing interrupts

the greyish stone of Cairn Mountains, as well as a small trail down to

the east and south.  Thankfully, there are many places to grip onto the

wall here, the stone being very rough and weathered.  A large vertical

crevice splits into the stone here, partially hidden under the shadow of

the overhang.

Winding Tunnel~
You are surrounded by cold and damp stone; the chill air moves slowly

towards the west.  The quarters are cramped, and it is difficult to see

very far ahead.  The small tunnel twists and turns sharply, heading

mainly to the west.  A large crack dominates the easternmost part of the

tunnel, and a strong breeze seems to come from it.

Winding Tunnel~
The tunnel twists and turns as it heads in a generally eastern and

western direction.  Dark crevices and dank nooks dot the sides of the

tunnel.  A cool breeze comes from the west and exits out of one of the

crevices, stealing past you silently.  An occasional drip can be heard,

echoing down one of the small nooks and into the tunnel.

Vines and thick undergrowth sprout around and on the ruins of an ancient

temple nestled in the narrow valley.  Beneath the foliage unadorned stone

pillars climb into the sky.  The roof has long since collapsed, leaving

only the outline left by the pillars.  Steep cliffs of dark granite climb

high above you to the north, east, and west.

Above the Temple - In the Air~
Soaring high above the green valley below your breath is nearly taken

away by the howling wind that screams above you.  Turbulent air buffets

you and it is difficult to even stay aloft as the wind tosses you about

like a feather.  To the north you see the safety of a large and dark cave. 

below you are the remains of a temple, slowly being choked by the

greenery of the valley.

Cave Mouth - Overlooking the Hidden Valley~
You stand on a cliff-edge overlooking a small valley that spreads out

below to the south.  The wind howls about you, chilling you to your bones

and making hearing difficult.  To the north looms a large cave mouth,

gaping wide and providing some shelter from the wind.  Large piles of

guano are spattered about the ledge, and you can smell more from inside

the cave.

From here you have a spectacular view of the valley below.  It stretches

off into the distance, the green grass vibrant against the dark stone of

the valley walls.  The ruins of a temple of some sort are just below you,

Inside a Dark and Smelly Cave~
Broken stalactites litter the floor, and large heaps of guano dot the

cave floor.  The ground is uneven, probably because the cave is natural. 

The walls are rough, and climb up into the darkness above.  A large

passage leads to the south, where a good deal of fresh air rushes into

the cave.  You can see a large ledge on the west wall about twenty feet

above you.

The rough stone of this naturally large cavern is bumpy and pocked. 

Small stalactites hang from the ceiling, and their is evidence of larger

Cave Tunnel~
This tunnel has seen obvious work done to straighten and expand it.  The

tunnel is almost a perfect cylinder carved out of the dark stone.  The

floor is spattered with large piles of droppings; some damp and others

old and dry.  To the west the tunnel ends, looking out over a large

cavern.  A smaller cave opens up along the east end of the tunnel.  A

thick rope hangs over the edge to the west.

Small Cave - Overlooking the Hidden Valley~
This small cave seems to have been carved from the cliffside ages ago,

the ancient stonework worn by the passage of time.  A massive slab of

stone, a bit darker than that of the cave itself, leans against the east

wall of the cave.  Attached to the stone are the remnants of two iron

chains, long since rusted into a useless state.  A small brass and iron

gong hangs suspended from a stone frame alongside the north wall. 

Looking out the cave you can see the grey stone of the valley wall to the

west, and down below the green grass of the valley.

slab massive~
Carved from a single slab of almost black granite, this massive slab

leans against the far wall of the cave.  A deep groove is carved along

each side of the slab, leading to a small pool at the base.  The rusty

remnants of manacles still hang from near the top of the slab.

~
E
groove~
Each of these grooves has been carved deeply into the granite slab.

They run parallel to the long edges of the stone, and lead towards a deep

depression in the floor.

~

The depression is about a foot deep, the sides of which are covered with

a red-brown crust.  The sides are polished smooth, and two deep grooves

in the stone slab lead towards the bowl.

~

The thick iron chains are rusted beyond any use.  They are frozen almost

rope-like by rust as they hang across the granite slab.  At one time they

must have held a captive against the stone.

~

gong iron brass~
This gong is untouched by tarnish or rust.  The gong itself is fashioned

from iron with a brass rim.  To thin metal wires hang from the gong frame

and suspend the disk in the air.  A small padded mallet is connected to

the dark stone frame as well, with enough play to effectively strike the

gong.

In a Large Cavern - In the Air~
You are in the air, near the ceiling of a large cavern.  The cold stone

curves over your head, irregular where stalactites once grew.  A large

hole is in the north wall, while a similar feature marks the south wall

as well.  Nearly forty feet below you is the rugged and guano covered

floor of the cave.

Twigs, leaves and other refuse make a comfortable nest in this cave.  The

ceiling is low, and ribbed, making it difficult for those over six feet

tall to stand up straight.  The stone walls are rough, mottled and

Broken bones lay in a random pile about the floor, mixing with the guano

while to the north another opening leads into a long hallway.  Far above

illuminating the high cave.

Pit~
The floor of the pit is covered with bones and a thick damp layer of

guano.  Gore literally drips from the walls, rotting as it slowly creeps

down the pitted black stone.  Thick iron rungs are embedded in the stone,

and lead up and out of the pit.  The stench of death hangs heavy in the

air, mixing with smells of guano and excrement.

rungs iron~
Looped bands of iron are embedded deeply in the north wall of the pit. 

They are clearly intended to be a ladder of some sort to provide easy

entry and exit for the pit.  The iron is a bit rusty, and some of the

lower ones are bent and appear gnawed on.

E
guano~
The guano here is several inches thick, and in a state of decomposition. 

Tiny beetles and worms crawl in and among the piles of guano, feeding

upon the rich and satisfying meal, in a neverending quest for sustenance.

~
E
gore~
Blood, bits of flesh, stray feathers and other unidentifiable things

cover the walls.  It is all decomposing, and has turned black with mold

and rot.
