While the others tend to Buster, Grog will take a quick look out the door.[/quite]
The streets in between the buildings look clear from your point of view. The mountain seems to have a sort of light mist about.

The group consists of Kreepto, Marl, Jagos, Grog, Jaret, Vanadan, and Kunst to my knowledge. If that's confirmed, I'd like to advance into the main entrance room of the cavern. I'll post that information below this line (it's semi-spoiler in the case that you want to gather supplies from the storage warehouse or such first, but I assume it's better to move on in as soon as possible).

The red rock that makes up the walls of this cavern are unreasonably jagged. Walking too close, a person could easily be cut on the stone. However, the cavern is at lest 10 feet wide and 10 feet high throughout this enterance. There is very little in the way of supports at this level, the rock appears to have naturally formed this first bit of cavern and stands on it's own.
The first interior room, as Kreepto explains, is an elevator shaft. It can go up or down into the mountain, at intervals of approximately 50 feet per shaft. The elevator travels straight down, but in order to move up into the mountain it travels at a slow incline of approximately 10 degrees.
"Those are the new caves. We never dig up until last year."
The elevator is a rope and pulley operated machine. It appears that the elevator is primarily used for the purpose of conveying large amounts of weight, such as rock being moved out of the mines. The actual incline to move up is easy enough to traverse on foot. The way down is a deep pit, and although a skilled climber may be able to descend, a fall would more than likely be lethal.
