Bypassing the pool of unknown you continue eastwards through the cavernous passageways. By now somewhat experienced in crawling through the occasional narrow or low opening. You had previously had to retrace steps from occasional dead end passages but following the goblins allows you to reach the next cave without any back tracking.
(Room #9) This cavern is an intersection for several major tunnels, leading back north-west, south-west, north-east, and south-east that forks to the south and another to the east just at the edge of your torchlight. In the middle of the cavern is a large flattened area of black and white tile that forms a labyrinth pattern. Scattered about on the white tiles are unlit stubs of candles. Skeeve can feel traces of magic from the tile floor, feeling to him as if the floor tiles are spell components rather than an active enchantment themselves.
