Lucas again focuses his attention on his magical sensor, turning it all around within the cave. He sees daylight coming in from the entrance, of course, but now notices that the light is oddly filtered, as if something might be veiling the narrow part of the tunnel where the floor rises toward the ceiling.
The sensor passes further East, deeper into the cave complex. After a fairly short narrow space, the corridor becomes slightly wider, forming a more or less round chamber perhaps 30 feet in diameter. In the middle of the floor is a gaping sinkhole some 15 feet wide.
Beyond this, a precipitous slope of smooth, damp stone plunges down to a thin lip of rock, beyond which yawns a black abyss. The sensor passes over the wide opening and peers down. Lucas sees a natural vertical shaft about 20 feet wide and extending down at least 60 feet (the limit of his vision). But some 50 feet down is a wooden platform and bridge that seem to lead to a side passage.
On the far side of the drop stands a rickety wooden platform cluttered with bales and barrels. Over this upper platform stands some kind of wooden fortification supported by wooden stilts. Ladders lead from the main platform up to the overhead fortification and also down to the lower platform.
Everyone is now definitely caught up and I assume Lucas relates all this information to you.
