The water along the floor is far too shallow to allow a boat to travel through. It's only a few inches deep in the deepest parts. Gravel fills the bottom and the water is very clear.After only a few steps, the light coming from the entrance quickly fades, making the only source of illumination from Mortimer's heatless magical torch.After about twenty winding yards, it's clear someone has been here before. Animalistic cave paintings adorn the walls. Anaurochs, six-legged cats and a host of odd-looking creatures make up the majority of the drawn menagerie, but there are "normal" beasts depicted as well. It's obvious these paintings are fairly recent, since the cave is very damp and probably wouldn't have protected ancient drawings.* * * Keith blazes a mark on one of the trees, well below eye-level of the hill giant sentry. As he is marking the tree for later recognition, Paendaerig smells something oddly foul and earthy, like a wild carnivore. Just a short moment later, a large bear shuffles out of the doorway the sentry is standing in front of.The hill giant reaches down and scratches the beast on the head. It grunts in a sort of pleasure then begins walking toward the woods in a slow shuffle.</blockquote>
