Taking the ancient church and searching under the pulpit; the bolted trapdoor remains as you left it months ago. You open the door and travel down into the darkness beneath; right into a massive cave.
The caves are slightly damp and humid- the air is cool and the place is oppressively dark. You are in the underworld proper now; no more places crafted by human hands, no matter how long ago it may have been. The walls are made of smooth stone, worn and shaped by ages of water and other forces you do not understand fully.
<span class="mu-b">"Young James, could you tell us what kind of creatures live in caves such as this?"</span>
"Bats. Salamanders. Night-Creatures for sure."
<span class="mu-r">"Bears?"</span>
"Naw. Even a bear wouldn't sleep in a place like this for' the winter. No shell to curl up inside of, like your big felly'."
With that, the caves sprawl open ahead of you. Unlike the chambers above, this place is much more organic; the chambers are not organized by logical passages or a planned purpose- they are merely voids in the earth, with no rime or reason to them. The stalagmites and 'tites give everything an eerie shadow- like the jaws of a giant black beast just out of reach.
The chamber also stretches much higher up and down in places then the other levels above. It may be prudent to keep eyes places beyond the human eye-level. Either in the darkness yawning above, or the floor beneath?
