#4100 The Tunnel~ As you continue along this tunnel which heads deeper and deeper into the earth, you notice that the tunnel must be a lot steeper than you previously expected as there is a small rivulet of water gushing down the one side of the tunnel. The tunnel appears to extend straight to the east for quite some distance. ~ 41 acd 3 D1 ~ ~ 0 -1 4101 D3 ~ ~ 0 -1 4052 S #4101 The Long Tunnel~ The tunnel seems to be slightly sloped here as it continues in its east-west direction. The tunnel walls are far apart, almost allowing for four people to travel abreast with ease. The walls do not seem to be very damp, but there is a small rivulet running along the northern wall of the tunnel. ~ 41 ad 3 D1 ~ ~ 0 -1 4102 D3 ~ ~ 0 -1 4100 S #4102 The Long Tunnel~ As you travel along this long tunnel, you begin to wonder just how long it is. The walls are fairly far apart, but you can see that they begin to close in rather rapidly to the east. In fact, the manner in which they come together almost reminds you of a funnel. ~ 41 ad 3 D1 ~ ~ 0 -1 4103 D3 ~ ~ 0 -1 4101 S #4103 The Long Tunnel~ You are standing in a long east-west tunnel. It is not all that wide at this point, perhaps wide enough for two people to stand side by side without impeding each other. Off to the west it appears that the tunnel opens up some more while to the east it dives further down into the earth, and you can see a small hole about two feet in diameter about waist height in the southern wall. ~ 41 ad 3 D1 ~ ~ 0 -1 4104 D2 ~ ~ 0 -1 4106 D3 ~ ~ 0 -1 4102 S #4104 The Long Tunnel~ You find yourself in a small bulbous cavern ending. The somewhat circular 'room' is about thirty feet in diameter and you can see one exit from it; a tunnel leading sharply upwards from the western wall. The walls of this cavern are quite indistinct and you cannot see any moss or dampness on them whatsoever. ~ 41 ad 3 D3 ~ ~ 0 -1 4103 S #4105 The Golden Cave~ You are standing in what appears to be the north-east corner of this large cavern. The cave is lit by the eerie, soft, golden light which looks to be emanating from the walls themselves. The cave itself is enormous, extending quite a distance to the west and south. ~ 41 d 1 D2 ~ ~ 0 -1 4108 D3 ~ ~ 0 -1 4106 E light gold golden~ It looks good, but as you look closely you notice that it has no value. ~ S #4106 The Golden Cave~ You are standing in what appears to be the north-west corner of this large cavern. The cave is lit by the eerie, soft, golden light which looks to be emanating from the walls themselves. The cave itself is enormous, extending quite a distance to the east and south. There is a hole in the northern wall, about two feet in diameter. All that can be seen through the hole is darkness. ~ 41 d 1 D0 ~ ~ 0 -1 4103 D1 ~ ~ 0 -1 4105 D2 ~ ~ 0 -1 4109 E light gold golden~ It looks good, but as you look closely you notice that it has no value. ~ S #4107 The Passage~ You are standing at the elbow turn of a small passageway. It turns quite sharply to the south and west. To the south, it appears that the passage continues, but to the west you can see what almost appears to be a golden light. ~ 41 ad 3 D2 ~ ~ 0 -1 4113 D3 ~ ~ 0 -1 4108 S #4108 The Golden Cave~ You are standing in what appears to be the south-east corner of this large cavern. The cave is lit by the eerie, soft, golden light which looks to be emanating from the walls themselves. The cave itself is enormous, extending quite a distance to the west and north. A crack in the wall to the east appears to lead into a passageway of sorts. ~ 41 d 1 D0 ~ ~ 0 -1 4105 D1 ~ ~ 0 -1 4107 D3 ~ ~ 0 -1 4109 E light gold golden~ It looks good, but as you look closely you notice that it has no value. ~ S #4109 The Golden Cave~ You are standing in what appears to be the middle of the western wall of this large cavern. The cave is lit by the eerie, soft, golden light which looks to be emanating from the walls themselves. The cave itself is enormous, extending quite a distance to the east, south, and north. ~ 41 d 1 D0 ~ ~ 0 -1 4106 D1 ~ ~ 0 -1 4108 D2 ~ ~ 0 -1 4114 E light gold golden~ It looks good, but as you look closely you notice that it has no value. ~ S #4110 The Hole~ You find yourself standing in a small alcove as the tunnel comes to a somewhat sudden end. Looking about you suddenly notice a rather big hole in the floor of the tunnel. In fact, it seems that another step forward and you would have fallen into it. The tunnel itself leads to the west, and looking down into the hole in the floor reveals little beyond the fact that it seems to be very deep and very dark. There is a very strange smell emanating from the hole, it almost smells like something down there is rotting. ~ 41 acd 3 D3 ~ ~ 0 -1 4111 D5 Before you head down, you drop a rock to see how deep the hole is... After about five minutes, it still hasn't hit bottom. Thus, for reasons of sanity, you decide not to go this way. ~ ~ 0 -1 -1 E hole floor~ Before you head down, you drop a rock to see how deep the hole is... After about five minutes, it still hasn't hit bottom. Thus, for reasons of sanity, you decide not to go this way. ~ S #4111 The Tunnel~ The walls of this small tunnel are almost completely covered in a strange orange moss that flakes off to the touch. The tunnel leads in an east-west direction and the air within is very damp and very stagnant. There is no detectable breeze at all but a strange smell emanates from the east. There is a small, almost unnoticed hole in the southern wall. ~ 41 ad 3 D1 ~ ~ 0 -1 4110 D2 The hole looks very small. You will probably have to crawl through it. ~ ~ 0 -1 4126 D3 ~ ~ 0 -1 4112 E moss walls wall~ The moss on the walls is orange. When you touch it, it feels very scrubby and flakes off to the touch leaving a slight orange tinge on your fingertips. ~ S #4112 The Tunnel~ The tunnel in which you currently stand is fairly wide (very wide relative to almost all the other tunnels around here it seems) and yet the air is quite damp. The walls have a thin coating of moisture upon them which looks and feels somewhat oiley. The tunnel leads in an east-west direction. ~ 41 ad 3 D1 ~ ~ 0 -1 4111 D3 ~ ~ 0 -1 4113 E wall walls moisture coat coating~ The coating of moisture on the walls has strange little patterns of colour weaving through it, almost as if someone had spilled oil on a horizontal water surface. ~ S #4113 The Passage~ This north-south passageway looks to be a natural creation, except that the walls looks to have been roughly hewn in order to smooth them a somewhat to make passage easier. The walls still meander as the passage makes its way deeper into the bowels of the earth. A bizarre shadow in the eastern wall leads you to suspect that a small passage meets the tunnel there. ~ 41 ad 3 D0 ~ ~ 0 -1 4107 D1 ~ ~ 0 -1 4112 D2 ~ ~ 0 -1 4116 S #4114 The Golden Cave~ You are standing in what appears to be the south-west corner of this large cavern. The cave is lit by the eerie, soft, golden light which looks to be emanating from the walls themselves. The cave itself is enormous, extending quite a distance to the north and a strange shadow formation seems to indicate a passage entrance to the west. ~ 41 d 1 D0 ~ ~ 0 -1 4109 D3 ~ ~ 0 -1 4115 E light gold golden~ It looks good, but as you look closely you notice that it has no value. ~ S #4115 The Dark Passage~ You find yourself in a small passage ending. It is quite dark in here. As you look about the damp walls, you notice that the passageway almost appears to curve upwards towards the ceiling. Looking up, you notice that there is a small hole, just large enough to pass through. Looking closely at the curved part of the wall, it appears that someone (or something) has carved small handholds into the wall to ease passage upwards. The tunnel itself leads off to the east. ~ 41 ad 3 D1 ~ ~ 0 -1 4114 D4 ~ ~ 0 -1 4021 S #4116 The Passage~ You find yourself in quite an ordinary passageway which leads north and south. It looks to be wide enough for two people to walk side by side with plenty of room. The passage appears to be almost rectangular in form. Far off to the south you can see the pinpoint of a light. ~ 41 ad 3 D0 ~ ~ 0 -1 4113 D2 ~ ~ 0 -1 4120 E light~ Well, you can't see where it comes from... ~ S #4117 The Secret Tunnel~ You are currently standing in a narrow passageway that does not seem to have been heavily visited at any time. It leads northwards towards a lit room and south towards what appears to be a chamber. ~ 41 ad 3 D0 ~ ~ 0 -1 4114 D2 ~ ~ 0 -1 4122 S #4118 The Cave~ This rather large cave is surprisingly very well lit. There are about twenty torches spread about the room set in sconces which hang several feet above your head. The dancing shadows created by the flickering flames catch your eyes for a few minutes and threaten to hold you entranced. Looking about the cave, it appears to continue to the west and south. In the north wall a strange vertical crack looks as if it may lead somewhere. ~ 41 d 1 D0 It looks like quite the tight fit. ~ ~ 0 -1 4126 D2 ~ ~ 0 -1 4123 D3 ~ ~ 0 -1 4119 S #4119 The Cave~ This rather large cave is surprisingly very well lit. There are about twenty torches spread about the room set in sconces which hang several feet above your head. The dancing shadows created by the flickering flames catch your eyes for a few minutes and threaten to hold you entranced. Looking about the cave, it appears to continue to the east and south. ~ 41 d 1 D1 ~ ~ 0 -1 4118 D2 ~ ~ 0 -1 4124 D3 The rock wall to the west looks odd for some strange reason. ~ wall rock~ 1 -1 4121 S #4120 The Passage~ You stand in a fairly normal passage, slightly wider than is necessary for one person, but not quite wide enough for two. The ceiling dips here rather surprisingly, or wait, is that because the floor climbs upwards toward it? The tunnel seems to narrow slightly more as you look to the south, and widens up somewhat as you look northward. The light to the south continues to flicker. ~ 41 ad 3 D0 ~ ~ 0 -1 4116 D2 ~ ~ 0 -1 4125 E light~ It nearly is enough to light the passage. ~ S #4121 The Secret Tunnel~ You stand in a very unnatural hallway, about ten feet across and about ten or twelve feet up. The passageway funnels down towards the west where it leads to a doorway that looks to be about five feet across. The east end of the tunnel comes to a sudden end at a very smooth rock wall. ~ 41 ad 3 D1 The rock wall to the east looks like it might be able to be moved. ~ wall rock~ 1 -1 4119 D3 ~ ~ 0 -1 4122 E wall rock~ The rock wall to the east looks like it might be able to be moved. ~ S #4122 The Secret Chamber~ You stand in a small chamber that you never would have thought could exist. This small, almost perfectly round cave does not appear to be a natural formation at all, since the walls are far too smooth and the doorways to the north and east are both almost exactly five feet wide and eleven feet tall. ~ 41 ad 3 D0 ~ ~ 0 -1 4117 D1 ~ ~ 0 -1 4121 S #4123 The Cave~ This rather large cave is surprisingly very well lit. There are about twenty torches spread about the room set in sconces which hang several feet above your head. The dancing shadows created by the flickering flames catch your eyes for a few minutes and threaten to hold you entranced. Looking about the cave, it appears to continue to the west and north. ~ 41 d 1 D0 ~ ~ 0 -1 4118 D3 ~ ~ 0 -1 4124 S #4124 The Cave~ This rather large cave is surprisingly very well lit. There are about twenty torches spread about the room set in sconces which hang several feet above your head. The dancing shadows created by the flickering flames catch your eyes for a few minutes and threaten to hold you entranced. Looking about the cave, it appears to continue to the east and north. There is a passageway leading out of the western wall of the cave which looks to turn northwards. ~ 41 d 1 D0 ~ ~ 0 -1 4119 D1 ~ ~ 0 -1 4123 D3 ~ ~ 0 -1 4125 S #4125 The Passage~ You are at the end of a narrow passage which leads away from here to the north. The southern wall is bare and almost seems to dance with the shadows created by the flickering light emanating from the cave to the east. ~ 41 d 3 D0 ~ ~ 0 -1 4120 D1 ~ ~ 0 -1 4124 S #4126 The Crawlway~ You are in a very narrow crawlway. To back out of it, you would have to move carefully in order to not catch anything on the jutting rocks of the ceiling and walls. The diameter of the crawlway is about two feet, and is a rather tight squeeze. You'd better hope that there aren't any worms or similar creatures down this way since it might be difficult to defend yourself in here. ~ 41 acdfgij 5 D0 You can see a small hole marking the north exit of the crawlway. ~ ~ 0 -1 4111 D2 You can see the light emanating from the southern exit of the crawlway. ~ ~ 0 -1 4118 S $~
