[QUOTE="Uller, post: 6936099, member: 413"] Once you break your camp, you begin moving again. The tunnels here are old and move upwards at a barely perceptible slope. On and on you walk. Mostly through darkness. Sometimes through natural light. Occasionally you encounter the strange faerzress that makes your mind tingle and seems to illuminate areas without a visible source of light. You camp again, this time in an area that is illuminated slightly. Such areas seem to be becoming more numerous. When you not this, Shuushar tells you the name Darklake is slightly ironic and that "Sloobludop" actually means "lighted sacrificial pit" in the language of his people. He says it very matter of factly, as if it shouldn't shock you at all. When he sees your reaction he says dryly [B]"Well it's not literal. There is no pit."[/B] The next 'day' you continue on. The cavern begins to open up. The ceiling disappears above you. The left hand wall meanders away from your sight. Then the floor to the left side begins to turn to rubble and drop away. You are moving downwards now. Then the path turns toward the right a bit and you look out upon an enormous vista. The path clings to the right hand wall and begins to descend. Before you you can see spots of light here and there on a distant ceiling and spread out over a distant floor extending far beyond the range of even the drow's sensitive eyes. You can see the right hand wall remains mostly sheer and twists and turns off the the right. In the distance it starts to wander back to the left. Above, the right wall breaks up and slopes away. The path is about 10' wide here and looks almost like an ancient road, made by civilized hands. [/QUOTE]
