To the left...
You venture to the left, avoiding stepping upon the broken insect bodies, and collecting interesting items as you pass. Jansson resumes his hold on his gun, and reloads it as quickly as possible.
You collect 3 gems of unknown value, one of which is clear, one is yellow, and one is a dark green. None show psionic ability within Syld's Detect Psionics power.
Jansson manages to collect 2 crystalline throwing wedges, similar to the ones collected earlier.
You venture roughly twenty feet, and find your torchlight and the moonlight from the cleric's holy symbol filling out into a wider cavern. Tall columns of rock of unusual colors span the space from the ceiling to the floor, a few not quite stretching that far and ending in what appears to be razor-sharp ends.
To your right, the cavern goes another 10 feet or so and curves upward. To your left, the cavern doesn't appear to end, although the torchlight shows that the wall stays even with the entrance for at least 20 feet.
There appears to be no sign of life in here, and Syld does not detect anything with his Detect Psionics, although you hear water dripping down from the ceiling close by.

"Hrm, we seem to be finding alot of gems around here, do you think the Kreen are miners? I don't think so myself, perhaps there is another colony of humanoids around here...Oh well, let's carry on!"

Down to the left...
The cavern to your left slopes downward at a slight angle. As you walk carefully among the columns of rock, you can see that the rock formations are very unusual - the geology seems to have changed suddenly in several places.
As you continue forward, the slope gets slightly steeper. You go on, and suddenly find yourself at a wall that comes only halfway between the floor and the ceiling. Down below, you can hear something pulverizing the rocks and walls.
As the cleric's holy symbol's light floods over the wall, a sudden rainbow of light crosses your eyes, and you are forced to cover them.
You manage to regain your sight, and look below again. Huge beasts, made out of what seems to be rock and stone, are slowly mowing through the rocky wall. As they do, veins of various gems - ruby, sapphire, topaz, emerald, even a few diamond - come into view, and the precious gems tumble in chunks onto the floor. A few scattered Thri-Kreens walk about, gathering up the chunks and placing them in large piles, each one consisting of a different color.
Some sit on the floor near a purplish pile, splitting what appear to be geodes in half and tossing them on the pile.
None of the 'Kreens seem to notice your presence, nor do any of the odd, moving mounds of stone and rock.
As you look about, you also notice two tunnels, one on either side of the cavern you are in from your present location (right and left). Both seem to go downward, and the one of the left exhibits what look like the beginnings of a staircase, but it continues on into the darkness beyond the tunnel entrance.
Thus - below you there is a great cavern, filled with rocky creatures and Thri-Kreen, and many piles of gems of various sorts. To your right and left are tunnels, both of which appear to head down, the left one appearing to have a staircase.
