#AREA Natural Caves~ Ender Ruthler Florian~ ~ 0 0 0 #ROOMS #2500 Cave Entrance~ A thin, rocky ledge stretches north to south through this yawning cave. Most of the cave's surfaces are too slippery or precarious to walk on. Judging from the amount of detritus littered around the cave, it use to be heavily occupied once. But now, you see little evidence of current dwellers. To the south, at the cave's mouth, you can see a large, cascading waterfall. The cave widens to the north, where the floor becomes less slippery. ~ *H ~ 301465601 11 6 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 -1 2501 10 10 5 D2 ~ ~ 0 -1 25005 10 10 5 59 9 1509949540 3 0 -1 S #2501 Cave Tunnel~ A long, steep tunnel descends north, further under the mountain. The temperature of the cavern is much cooler than you are accustomed to. To the south, you can see a faint illumination outlining the edges of an opening.

The passageway runs from east to west over a level limestone floor. Stalagmites formed from dripping sediment rise from the ground like the teeth of a cavern fish. A small accumulation of luminescent fungus clings to the northern wall of the passageway, casting the shadows of the stalagmites onto the south wall. ~ *H ~ 301465604 11 6 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 -1 2504 10 10 5 D3 ~ ~ 0 -1 2506 10 10 5 -1 S #2503 Cavern cleft~ A damp hallway, stalagmites and stalactites adorn the ceiling and ~ ~ 301465604 3 6 0 D3 ~ ~ 8 -1 2547 10 10 5 A ~ ~ send_to_room( #to_all, room ); ~ E to_all~ A large stalagmite crashes to the ground sealing you in. ~ E to_char~ ~ ! 1 -1 8 A say~ zelda~ send_to_char( #to_char, ch ); act_notchar( #to_room, ch ); send_to_room( #to_room, room ); ~ E to_all~ The stalagmite suddenly shovels up into the cave ceiling. | | ~ E to_room~ $n says 'Zelda' ~ E to_char~ You mumble the word Zelda. ~ ! 0 1 0 -1 S #2504 Cave Tunnel~ The cavern here is much wider than the passageway that lies to the south. Thick, heavy stalagmites rise from the ground, creeping around the edges of a small, milky pool of liquid. Flecks of shiny minerals can be seen embedded in the floor and the eastern wall appears to have several mineral deposits in it. To the far south, you can see a miniscule amount of light streaming through a cave opening.

The walls are lined with numerous paintings drawn in chalk and depict things such as animals and plants. Piles of wood, long since petrified, lie stacked on the floor within ancient fire pits. Bat guano litters the floor in large heaps. Clearly, bats have been living within the cavern for quite some time.

Dark brown marks, quite possibly blood, stain the areas within and immediately surrounding the etchings, perhaps there as talismen to ward or warn of these creatures.

Oil stains line the walls from torches dipped in animal fat and rocks litter the floor partitioning the sleeping areas.

Its walls have been smoothed somewhat and are graced by numerous paintings. There is an air of respect however around the chamber that is hard to place. A stone slab lies in the center of the room and looks very much like a funeral bier.

While it is difficult from this vantage point to determine the exact height of this tunnel, it is apparent that the most adroit of spelunkers would attempt such a journey. Heavy cast iron rungs are set into the wall of the passageway providing some assistance in traversing the otherwise sheer face of the bedrock.

It's not large, but its floor is lost somewhere below the surface of the dark water that wells up and fills the room: An underground river.

The last thing you expected was thick maroon carpeting, scattered with large pillows and low tables of delicately crafted wood, surrounding an open-hearth fire pit. The chamber is warm but still damp, and comfortable in a closed-in sort of way. From behind some interceding stalactites, you see that two of the walls are actually ebon-wood bookcases sporting large dark tomes and old volumes. ~ [Lansharra] extras of bookcases, tome, volumes, stalactites, fire pit, carpeting, etc?
