"Well, I guess I can let you guys handle it from here!" Carp says with all of the false bravado he can muster before running as fast as he can back towards his mother's farm. Peering into the tunnel you can just make out a faint light source quite some distance away. While not enough to actually light the tunnel in a useable manner it does give those that lack the ability to see in the dark a reference as you move forward.

One hundred feet later you find yourselves at the entrance of a large natural cavern. The cold breeze within this area carries the faint scent of decaying flesh. A crevasses divides the cavern and is flanked by two rough stone columns that support the twenty foot high ceiling. Two arched wooded bridges span the chasm.

The bridge, which consists of wooden planks laid across a couple of support beams, appears to be perfectly safe. There are no railings, so a bit of caution might be in order when crossing.

As Etch examines the bridge the rest of you peer into the crevasse just to the south. The light from the oil lamps don't show much detail as to what's at the bottom but Delg's lighted stone is another matter. Landing with a crunch among a heap of well gnawed and brittle bones the light source reveals a relatively fresh half eaten body.
