As such, this adventure does not deal with these caverns in any great detail - as they could very well be an adventure in and of themselves. That being said, if the players decide to explore this area, they will quickly find it to be twisting maze of tunnels and small caves that are very easy to get lost in (which the DM should feel free to map out accordingly). Furthermore, for each area they explore the DM should roll a d6; on the roll of a 1 the PCs also come across a natural hazard, and on a 6 they encounter a wandering monster (see the tables below).NATURAL HAZARDS1 - Old cave in (nothing can be done other than turn back).2 - Chasm - 10ft wide, 30ft deep.3 - Steep incline/decline (DC10 text to navigate safely. Failure results in 1d4 damage).4 - Difficult terrain (travelling through this area necessitates a successful Con save to avoid gaining one level of exhaustion).5 - Poisonous gas/spores (DC14 Con save or become poisoned until taking a long/short rest in a gas/spore free environment).6 - The PCs are caught in  cave in (or rockslide) and must make a DC12 Dex save to leap clear. Failure results in 1d10 points of bludgeoning damage. In addition, anyone who fails the save by five or more is also buried alive and suffers an additional 1HP per round (until they are dug out - which takes 1d4 rounds).WANDERING MONSTERS1 - 1d6+4 giant fire beetles2 - 1d4+4 kobolds3 - 1d3 darkmantles4 - 1d4 troglodytes5 - 1 Giant spider6 - 1 Carrion crawler</blockquote>
