It’s slow going navigating the descent with a blind and bound Roskelly, but after 40 minutes of stumbles and stutters, you emerge through the secret door at the bottom of the staircase and into the cavern beyond. There, you pause to rest briefly.
A reminder from the previous post of what you see …
Quote:
Stepping through, you find yourself in a natural cavern. It’s utterly dark and the atmosphere is oppressively damp and humid. The sense of tomb-like stillness is broken only by the sound of running water and the occasional chirrups of cave crickets. From the echoes created by those noises, you get the sense that the chamber is vast.
From the light cast by your lantern, you can see that the floor of the cave is littered with stalagmites. Approximately 10’ ahead, you can see the shore of a dark pool. To your left (east) the cave wall extends for about 10’ before turning to the northeast. To your right, the cave wall heads roughly southwest beyond the range of your lantern’s light. However, in that wall, about 20’ away from you, you can see a ledge that is 20’ above the floor. The roof of the cavern is lost in darkness.
