[QUOTE="Maidhc O Casain, post: 6115588, member: 29558"] Pari greets each new arrival in turn, and stands scratching the huge tiger under his whiskered chin and making small talk until Elenka arrives and you're all assembled. Once there, he takes the questions in turn. [COLOR="#FF8C00"]"I have indeed explored the cave; when I went in it was a single room, a natural cave in the cliff wall about 20 or 30 feet deep. I'm not sure how else to explain the 'feel' of the change - it's the difference between looking into a relatively small cave . . . or room, or whatever . . . where you can almost see the back wall and looking into a much larger space.
