It would seem that the Spiders of the Drow do not hold sway here, for, although there are a few, they are far outnumbered by Lizards and Beetles. After a mile or two, the Tunnel takes on the look of more worked stone, though by whom you don't know.Irregular starcases and rest platforms replace uneven tunnels and caves, though the animal life remains the same. The rooms take on a colder and more damp cast, with slimes and snails sharing space with mold and lichens.The smell becomes rather strong, although most of you have smelled far worse things and places.Finally, the sound of running water, growing stronger with every step, replaces the chirp of insects and the croaking of frogs and blind geckos.The tunnel opens up into a space some hundred feet wide and fifty feet deep. The River is clearly visable, with a stone jetty sitting as a buffer between the water and the dry ground. Three sleek Boats bob in the water, one hitting against the Quay with an irregular *Bump*. All three are tied to mooring lines.There seems no sign of any Guides or Boatmen as the Duchess had promised.</blockquote>
