Day 12, morning - Tunnel beneath the bandit's tower
Sorry for the delay, guys. I meant to post this weekend, but ended up being extremely busy.
You start off down the narrow passage, Sir Merrick leading the way to the west. You know that the cottage in the woods is north of the tower, and the Temple itself is several hundred feet away to the southwest.
The path twists and turns often, running for what you can only guess to be many hundred feet before opening into another chamber. This appears to be a natural cavern of some type, oval in shape and some forty feet in diameter. The northern wall of this chamber is pierced by another narrow passageway.
