While you are confident that you can find your way back, you have no idea where you are relative to the surface anymore.
Eventually you reach an overhanging ledge that opens out over a wide underground pool. Here distant sunlight from a fissure high above the wet rockside offers just the barest illumination to the gloom. Seeing torchlight further down in the cavern below, you bid your companions to put out their own torches.
It is immediately obvious that you have located your quarry, as opposed to some random hideout of bandits. A majlis, a desert style outdoor sitting room, is set up on the far side of the cavern and illuminated by a half-dozen ornate torch stands. The abode is so ridiculously at odds with the underground cavern environment that you suppress a snort, but you suppose a member of the Cathagi ruling caste cannot do without some faint luxury even in banishment. This is where the rogue sorceress has set up camp then, although it is clearly temporary in nature despite the lavishness of the adornments.
