Entering the cave, the party sets to the task of drying themselves off. Mikhail was the first to enter the cave, followed quickly by the others. The cave was no mere recess in the ground, rather it was an entrance into a series of caverns. Opposite the entrance was a tunnel that went back as far as the eye could see, darkness shrouding its mysteries, and large enough for any size or number of creatures to go through. It was at least 20 feet wide by 30 feet high. There was something unnatural about the tunnel as well, it seemed to have been cut, rather than naturally formed.
However as creepy as this scene was, and as dangerous as the prospect of sheltering at the mouth of what could be an enormous monsters lair, it was nothing compared to what was happening outside. The rain outside began to pick up even more, with the winds beginning to knock over even more trees. The dry surface of the forest was now beginning to flood outside the cave, which stood on higher ground. Thunder and lightning rolled violently just outside the mouth of the shelter, with each strike deafening to the ears.
