The Tunnels
The passage at the back of the cave is just inches short of ten feet wide with a ceiling height of 7.5 feet. The floor is not smooth by any means, but neither is it overly treacherous. There are puddles of water, mostly brackish, along the passage every few feet that appear to hold the remnants of rain from long ago. You glimpse several tiny creatures scurrying away from your light and into the gloomier depths as you approach. The passage leads back to the north for about thirty feet, where you can see up ahead at the edge of your light (60 feet into the passage you estimate) a darker hole into which the passage plunges. There is also an opening to the east at that same point, where the passage continues on. An indistinct, darkish mass lies near the top of the stairs and a bit off to the west.
