[QUOTE="Manbearcat, post: 6536526, member: 6696971"] I've confirmed with Binks that she isn't going after you down the drink, so we can continue on. On the above: When the tinder twig radiates its soft glow, you can tell that you're in a high-ceilinged cavern, perhaps all of 2 stories and maybe 500 square feet, with several stalactites dotting the ceiling. The sound of drip, drip, drip from the stalactites to the floor and the running water of the underground river is an orchestra of ambient noise. The floor is littered with goblin and animal bones. On your DR effort: * Areas of egress. There are two. One is the tunnel that the underground river follows. The second is a path that climbs the far face of the cavern, ascending in switchbacks into the unknown. * You find precisely the kindling that you're looking for. The walls are covered in all manner of fungus, especially concentrated at the floors:walls and ceilings:walls interfaces. They should burn without a problem to start a fire. * Predators. You quickly mark two of them. Although it is perfectly camouflaged otherwise, one of the stalactites doesn't drip, drip, drip like the rest. You can see its dark flesh ever so slightly unfurl and prepare to spring when you light your tender twig. Its a strangely aberrant creature that can almost perfectly take up the mantle of a stalactite. At the base of the path that leads up the face of the far cavern wall and out of this place, you see a lone, large stalagmite standing sentinel. When you pan in that direction, you see ever so slight movement and then stillness. A large central eye and toothy maw shut tight, perfectly blending into its stone-like visage. Both creatures are at Near range to you. [/QUOTE]
