Underwater in the Clean Pool
   The cool waters could knock the breath out of the strongest creature.
The muddy banks of the pool are slick and covered with a thick layer of slime.
The nature of the water causes any light that enters the pool to twirl and
shimmer like some kind of ethereal pulse of energy.  The water is rather clear
and clean, unlike many of the rivers near the larger cities of the realms.  A
pool this large without any fish or other aquatic life is odd, but that's the
truth of this place.  One may travel to the north or up from this point.

In an Underwater Passage
   The water here turns very cold.  There appears to be a stone passage here
heading to the north.  The water is very dark as no light reaches this region.
There appears to be a large doorway to the north, more than likely to some kind
of subterranean city.  The watery cave has an odd and out of place feeling.
The stone walls have been magically sealed together and no mortar has been used
in the construction of this hallway.  There is a thick layer of silt formed on
the floor of this passageway.  One may travel back to the south to leave this
passageway or north through the gate and into the darkness.

Inside the Dark Passageway
   The cold watery passage ends here abruptly.  The well crafted walls end
here underneath a medium sized opening above.  It is difficult to tell what is
located above, it could just be a continuation of this tunnel.  The water is
very dirty here as if someone had deficated here in the water.  It seems that
this area is not naturally formed.  There is deffinetly signs that the masonry
was done by skilled craftsman, but it seems unlikely that this area underneath
the Black Dog Mountains is inhabited by any 'civilized' group or race.  The
feeling of dread grows and grows.  There are small rocks and pebbles lying all
over on the ground, as if part of some large object.  A thin layer of slime has
formed on the northern wall.  One may return to the south or travel up into the
further darkness.

The Entrance to the Troglodyte Caves
   This small and highly defendable room is the entrance to the troglodyte
cave system.  This clan of lizard-like humanoids was thought to be some kind of
old myth that parents told their children to scare them.  It is, in fact, very
real and very dangerous to anyone foolish enough to intrude.  The cave is dark
and filled with many of the vile troglodyte warriors.  The troglodytes are a
savage people who crave human flesh and often will raid the surrounding areas
for food and other valuables.  This cave is well hidden beneath the Black Dog
Mountains.  The entire clan of creatures lives off of the success of their
raiding abillity.  The cave smells very bad as the creatures themselves give
off a repelant odor.  The gloom that hangs over this place is hard to see very
far into.  This is the entrance to the troglodyte caves.  One may travel east
or down back into the water.

In the Dark Troglodyte Caves
   This dark and scary cave is inhabited by a race of highly effective and
deadly fighters.  The troglodyte race is savage and can easily overcome an
unready opponent.  The warriors of the clan are trained from an early age how
to fully use all of their weapons including their long tail.  This cave is the
perfect lair for such a race.  Because the darkness is so complete, ambushes
can and will happen as one goes further into this place.  The advanced eyes of
the troglodyte race has developed a superior form of infravision which allows
them to best take advantage of these surroundings.  The smell is horrible,
emitted from their glands and pores as yet another deterrent from this place.
The stone would look very black in the light of day, but here everything looks
like darkness.  One may travel west or north in the troglodyte cave system.

In the Dark Troglodyte Caves
   The further into the troglodyte caves the more disorienting it becomes.
Even creatures with phenomenal infravision find this place to be a complex and
confusing cave system.  The darkness, combined with the horrible smells that
the troglodytes release from their glands, makes the air seem to be thick like
water.  The rocks are cold and wet and sound does not seem to carry very well
this far down.  Normally there would be an echo, but here there is none.  It
is as if a shadow of darkness has stolen all the light and sound from this
place.  Even with a torch one cannot see very far ahead.  Shadows seem to dance
and merge into the stone.  Or perhaps the troglodyte warriors are preparing to
attack.  The troglodytes posses an innate ability to change the color and tone
of their flesh to fit in with their surroundings.  It is safe to assume that an
adult troglodyte could blend in with the black rock and stand there invisible
to someone who walked by.  One may walk north, south or west.  The darkness
makes it hard to determine which is the main path.

In the Dark Troglodyte Caves
   These dark caves are filled with the entire troglodyte settlement.  The
nature of the troglodytes makes living in these caves essential as it is their
only possible habitat.  The night is the only time these creatures can come out
of hiding and when they do they search for human flesh.  The cave itself is a
natural formation, the stone still in its crude natural state.  There may have
been some mining or rock work done, but it was minimal as the troglodytes can
live withouth the luxury of smooth stone.  The air is very musty, a smell only
found with large colonies of lizards or troglodytes.  The temperature is always
warm, how the caves are kept this warm is a mystery to the outside world.  The
caves twist and turn as they travel through this underground labrynth.  One may
travel to the north or south from this point in the troglodyte caves.

In the Dark Troglodyte Caves
   The pitch black nature of the troglodyte cave system makes it impossible
to keep ones bearings.  The cave system is a random, twisting monster that
makes navigation nearly impossible.  The cave is a natural occurrence and thus
is bound to no city plan or layout.  The black stone seems to absorb any light
that it comes in contact with making torches and even magical light almost
useless.  In many places the ceiling hangs down very low, only the masters of
this cave can safely navigate through such perils.  The air is very musty and
warm feeling, an oddity for this far below the surface.  There are no markings
or indications as to the correct path to choose.  Perhaps the safest bet would
be to come back the way one came, if of course that is even possible anymore.
One may travel to the north, south or east from this point in the troglodyte
cave system.

In the Dark Troglodyte Caves
   The troglodyte caves continue to wind through the hard stone that lies
far below the surface.  The stone is very rough and sharp in places, not by
design, but the original state as when this cavern was formed.  The tunnels of
the troglodyte caves twist and turn in many directions, sometimes seemingly
doubling back or going in circles.  Making navigation even more difficult is
the fact that both echoes and light seem to reflect differently here than in
normal cave conditions.  The air is thick and musky making it sometimes quite
hard to breathe.  The ground is a very unforgiving monster, the sharp stones
and pebbles acting as a dangerous hazard.  One wrong step could seriously
injure even the thickest skinned creature.  The cave system here is at least
twenty feet above the tunnel that is located down from this point.  One may
travel down or west from this point.

In the Dark Troglodyte Caves
   The dark troglodyte caves continue here, further and further below the
surface with each step.  The natural cave here actually grows to an impressive
height, the ceiling so high it is out of the range of most light sources.  The
cave walls are very rough and unhewn, a combination that allows for the weird
echo patterns and deceptive shadows.  The ground is very rough and uneven.  The
air here is even thicker and harder to breathe than the level above this one.
To go up from this point one must navigate the poorly spaced hand-holds or
risk floating up to the ledge.  There are many small bones and skulls here on
the ground.  The possibility that this region of the troglodyte caves is a
dumping ground is a high one.  One may travel up or east further into the
darkness of the troglodyte cave system.

their way through the dark rock.  The walls are rough and uneven, small patches
of deep-ground lichens growing in the deeper pockets of stone.  The ceiling is
naturally formed but seems to have taken some damage, most likely from some
crude metal implements.  The floor is a honey-combed series of pitfalls, most
likely formed by acid drips or naturally occuring chemical residue left after
a hard flood.  The floors uneven nature makes it qutie difficult to travel at
a very fast rate.  The air here is rather unobtrusive and unremarkable.  The
dry air is hard to describe except that it is strangely void of any smells of
notice.  The musty odor present in previous tunnels is oddly missing here.  The
silence is strange and menacing.  One may travel to the north or west from this

follow.  The ground here is naturally rough and covered with bits and pieces of
bone and flesh.  The air here is very stale, almost in a disgusting manner.
There is a stench that seems to flow through the troglodyte caves without the
benefit of air circulation.  The only heat in this dark region is that coming
from the troglodyte inhabitants and a few scattered naturally occuring vents.

A Secluded and Small Troglodyte Cave
   This small cave is located deep in the troglodyte cave complex.  The air
is musty and stale here, as if a good deal of time has passed without fresh air
being introduced into the environment.  The cold stone does not hold heat very
well, so the family of troglodytes nest is a very large pile of skins.  Small
scraps of food and feces lie near the caves entrance.  The cave ceiling is a
mere twelve feet from the cavern floor, providing a secluded and secure home
dwelling.  Small nooks and crannys have been carved into the cave wall and are
used for storage and organization of the families possessions.  This cave is
rather simple and unremarkable, but never the less, it is the only home of the
troglodyte family the lives here.  One may travel east to leave this small
troglodyte cavern.

   The dark troglodyte caves continue here, further and further below the
surface with each step.  The natural cave here actually grows to an impressive
height, the ceiling so high it is out of the range of most light sources.  The
cave walls are very rough and unhewn, a combination that allows for the weird
echo patterns and deceptive shadows.  The ground is very rough and uneven.  The
air here is even thicker and harder to breathe than the level above this one.
To go up from this point one must navigate the poorly spaced hand-holds or
risk floating up to the ledge.  There are many small bones and skulls here on
the ground.  The possibility that this region of the troglodyte caves is a
dumping ground is a high one.  One may travel up or east further into the
darkness of the troglodyte cave system.

In the Dark Troglodyte Caves
   The troglodyte caves continue to wind through the hard stone that lies
far below the surface.  The stone is very rough and sharp in places, not by
design, but the original state as when this cavern was formed.  The tunnels of
the troglodyte caves twist and turn in many directions, sometimes seemingly
doubling back or going in circles.  Making navigation even more difficult is
the fact that both echoes and light seem to reflect differently here than in
normal cave conditions.  The air is thick and musky making it sometimes quite
hard to breathe.  The ground is a very unforgiving monster, the sharp stones
and pebbles acting as a dangerous hazard.  One wrong step could seriously
injure even the thickest skinned creature.  The cave system here is at least
twenty feet above the tunnel that is located down from this point.  One may
travel down or west from this point.

   The pitch black nature of the troglodyte cave system makes it impossible
to keep ones bearings.  The cave system is a random, twisting monster that
makes navigation nearly impossible.  The cave is a natural occurrence and thus
is bound to no city plan or layout.  The black stone seems to absorb any light
that it comes in contact with making torches and even magical light almost
useless.  In many places the ceiling hangs down very low, only the masters of
this cave can safely navigate through such perils.  The air is very musty and
warm feeling, an oddity for this far below the surface.  There are no markings
or indications as to the correct path to choose.  Perhaps the safest bet would
be to come back the way one came, if of course that is even possible anymore.
One may travel to the north, south or east from this point in the troglodyte
cave system.

   The dark troglodyte caverns continue into the dark stone of the underground
labrynth.  The air here is thick with the musty scents of the lizard-like
creatures that live here.  The ground is quite rough and painful on unprotected
feet.  The sharp edges of the various jutting rocks are deadly and painful.
The ceiling rising aproximately ten feet off of the floor allowing room for
the taller creatures that wander down here.  The width of the tunnels is ever
varying and seems to be naturally forming.  The creatures that live, flourish
and expand in these caves are a hearty race, legends of the night, hunters of
the fair races.  The stories of the troglodyte race are widely though of as a
myth or legend, but the very existence of these caves are proof beyond a shadow
of a doubt.  The sounds of shrieking reptiles can be heard in the unending
night of these caves.  One may travel to the east or south from this point.

In the Dark Troglodyte Caves
   This section of the troglodyte caves is very tight and narrow.  The walls
and ceiling seem to be constricting on the tunnel opening.  The narrow tunnel
is filled with the familiar smells of rot, decay and must.  The troglodyte race
is a race of warriors, few of which are ever found dead.  The race is extremely
successful in their night time raids, most often targeting the human colonies
located near this region.  The troglodyte warriors usually attack the strongest
looking targets first and work their way down, which shows they are a very
intelligent and deliberate band of hunters.  The air here is rather stale as
no drafts or currents move through the cold and dark stone.  The ground here
is littered with small scraps of flesh and bone.  A good deal of commotion can
be heard somewhere deep in the cave system.  One may travel further into the
troglodyte cave system by traveling north or west from this point.

   The dark troglodyte caves continue to wind through the ground here.  The
tunnels have twisted and turned so many times up to this point in the tunnels
the true direction is nearly impossible to discern.  There is nothing to make
any differentiation between this tunnel and any other tunnel within the cave
complex.  The dark stone is the same throughout the troglodyte caves, with no
variances in the composition of the rock.  The air here is stagnant and has no
movement what so ever.  The troglodyte people have claimed these naturally
formed caves as their own and have made some small adaptations to fully use the
entire complex to the fullest.  There is a small set of iron rungs embedded in
the stone used as a means of getting from this level of the caves to the level
below it.  The rungs are sturdy and can support a good deal of weight.  One
may travel south or down from this point in the troglodyte cave system.

hole near the wall to the north.  The hole in the floor is unprotected and
unguarded with any security railings or safety devices.  The hole is filled

stagnant and does not move, allowing the filth and murk to settle to the bottom
of the passage.  The troglodyte people have no other way to dispose of their
waste, so this passage is filled with their filth.  The tunnel is completely
filled with the murky water, and no air is available above, below or on the
sides.  There are also bones and skulls, some submerged in the filthy sediment
on the bottom, some floating, susupended in the liquid.  The walls here are
