The death of [62 Shadowlord] Ashyel (Human)

in A Mushroom Forest Covered in Spider Webs

from the perspective of [56 Cenobite] Laz The Resistance (Human)

<worn on head>       a human-made silver crown from Rift Valley Jungle [88%]             
<worn on eyes>       a cracked copper visor
<worn in ear>        a small couatl scale [poor]

<worn as quiver>     a rusty dragonscale quiver from The Behemoth Herders
<worn about waist>   a gleaming adamantium girth from Rift Valley Jungle
<worn on arms>       some hardened gem arm plates from Rift Valley Jungle
<held as shield>     a tigerskin shield [superior]
<worn around wrist>  a fine diamond wristguard from Temple of Flames
<worn around wrist>  a flaming clay bracelet from Rift Valley Jungle
<worn on hands>      some sparkling limestone mitts from Rift Valley Jungle
<worn on finger>     a beautiful granite signet
<worn on finger>     a dark blue ring
<primary weapon>     a fanged obsidian short sword from Rift Valley Jungle
<worn on legs>       some tight silk pants [superior]
<worn on feet>       some misshaped iron shoes

     Here the smooth stone floor of the cavern is completely covered by
water and muck with the occasional patch of underdark moss.  The mud and
moss eventually give way to the shoreline of a beautiful underdark lake
which takes up easily the bulk of the cavern.  The shoreline continues
on here, following the western wall of the cavern around the side of
the lake.  Life is abundant here, as even the dark creatures of the
underdark require water to survive.

On an Underworld Lake
     This section of the cavern is covered by the waters of a vast
underground lake, the depth of which would only cover a human to its
knees.  Although shallow, the lake is teeming with life such as
fish and other creatures, providing a steady food source for the shaughin
as well as clever underdark predators which rely on the water to
sustain life.  Unlike most underground bodies of water, the surface
of this lake is not smooth and flat but rather filled with ripples.
A light current can be felt pulling to the south, indicating the

Entrance of a Cavernous Settlement
     This room marks the transtion from the northern passage into a
large underworld cavern.  The cavern stretches far to the south and
encompasses a large underworld lake which dominates much of the cave
floor to the south and east.  Patches of moss surround the lakeshore,
while patches of underworld reeds protrude from the waters surface in
many places.  The lakeshore also appears to be home to a settlement of
Shaughin, a thicker and less elegant  evil cousin to the elves. Spending
their entire life in the underworld lounging in pools and other bodies
of water in which they require periodic immersion to survive, this cave
marks an ideal habitat for the Shaughin.

patches of a strange cavern moss which dots the walls and
ceiling of the passage, casting just enough light to provide vision
without disrupting the sensitive eyes of those creatures from the
underdark who possess ultravision.  Small patches of mud mixed
with puddles of water become more and more prevalant to the
south, indicating the likely presence of an underground lake or river
nearby.  One of the patches of mud contains a webbed footprint which
appears fairly recent, a testament that the creaters of this passage

Shoreline of an Underworld Lake
     Here the smooth stone floor of the cavern is completely covered by
water and muck with the occasional patch of underdark moss.  The mud and
moss eventually give way to the shoreline of a beautiful underdark lake
which takes up easily the bulk of the cavern.  The shoreline continues
on here, following the western wall of the cavern around the side of
the lake.  Life is abundant here, as even the dark creatures of the
underdark require water to survive.

On an Underworld Lake
     This section of the cavern is covered by the waters of a vast
underground lake, the depth of which would only cover a human to its
knees.  Although shallow, the lake is teeming with life such as
fish and other creatures, providing a steady food source for the shaughin
as well as clever underdark predators which rely on the water to
sustain life.  Unlike most underground bodies of water, the surface
of this lake is not smooth and flat but rather filled with ripples.
A light current can be felt pulling to the south, indicating the
possible presence of an underwater outlet.

Entrance of a Cavernous Settlement
     This room marks the transtion from the northern passage into a
large underworld cavern.  The cavern stretches far to the south and
encompasses a large underworld lake which dominates much of the cave
floor to the south and east.  Patches of moss surround the lakeshore,
while patches of underworld reeds protrude from the waters surface in
many places.  The lakeshore also appears to be home to a settlement of
Shaughin, a thicker and less elegant  evil cousin to the elves. Spending
their entire life in the underworld lounging in pools and other bodies
of water in which they require periodic immersion to survive, this cave
marks an ideal habitat for the Shaughin.

Approaching an Underworld Lake
Here the tunnel narrows considerably as it makes its transition from the
semi-natural underdark cavern rock which dominates the northern
passage into the smooth and toolmarkedwalls indicative of the work of
sentient beings which continues south.  A dull glow is emanating from
patches of a strange cavern moss which dots the walls and
ceiling of the passage, casting just enough light to provide vision
without disrupting the sensitive eyes of those creatures from the
underdark who possess ultravision.  Small patches of mud mixed
with puddles of water become more and more prevalant to the
south, indicating the likely presence of an underground lake or river
nearby.  One of the patches of mud contains a webbed footprint which
appears fairly recent, a testament that the creaters of this passage
may still inhabit this area.

A Side Passage in the Underdark
     This cavern leads off from the greater underdark caverns
which lie to the north, slowly narrowing to the south where it
appears the cavern walls transform from natural rock into the
more smooth walls indicative of the work of sentient beings.  A
strange purple moss adorns the cavern walls here, giving
off a subtle and eerie light.  The floor appears slightly wet,
with blotches of mud in various forms of dryness scattered
throughout the cavern.
