For days, your band has tirelessly tracked through the winding trails of the steamy jungle. For the past day, your goal has been in sight: the majestic Dragon’s Maw Falls, looming hundreds of feet in the air. But travel has been brutal, and straying off the path incurs the wrath of brambles and thickets that not only slow progress, but can be quite painful. A pall has fallen over the jungle here, and even the resident fauna leers at your band with unhidden contempt.
But alas, you find your band trekking alongside a steep rocky cliff on a trail a mere few feet wide. Slick with condensation from the nearby falls, the rocky way twists and turns, climbing and descending, as you toil to the base of the falls. The thunderous cacophony of millions of gallons of tumbling water renders communication impossible. Finally, your journey nears the end, as you press forward behind the massive curtain of water to a natural cave beyond.
With the curtain of water to your back, the slick rocky trail leads to a massive cavern. About 100 feet wide, the cavern stretches into darkness. A faint light can be discerned at the opposite corner of the chamber, likely hundreds of feet away. More flickering illumination emits from above the chamber in the northeast corner of the cave. The ceiling disappears into the darkness as well, likely scores of feet high, judging by the sound of several pillars of water cascading from the riverbed above.
The chamber is covered with turbid water, lapping onto the rock path. The path runs parallel to the waterfall for 40 feet or more, before twisting back to the south. The path becomes a ledge along the south wall and then it turns directly north, arching above the water while angling toward the lit corner of the cavern.

Pell adjusted the lamb's leather of his new gloves. He couldn't help but admire them. Their leather was soft as violet petals, lightweight, and any motion he made with his hands while wearing them was silent as a snow-dampened morning. He looked up just in time to watch Faera's owl take flight. The spectral familiar captivated Pell. He watched its movement carefully from the sidelines, longing to stroke the creature's feathers. Was it soft? Would it feel good to pet? He'd wondered these things repeatedly since meeting Faera. ![:]](http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/devious.png "Devious :]")
Your vision extends farther into the darkness than others allowing you to make out more details than the others. The cave is big. You can barely make out the ceiling directly above you and it seems to slope further up as it goes. Most notably, you can make out four waterfalls dropping into the cave and creating the pool of water that surrounds the winding path. As you look towards the path, you make out several large shapes lying on the path. Suddenly a burst of light from Ursus’ sword momentarily disturbs your vision and as you refocus, you make out a final glimpse of the forms dropping into the water. You weren't able to make out a full number, but the beast looked large. At least six feet long.[/SBLOCK]
