A Guardsman's Cave
   Stone benches stand against the walls ready for the guards that must stay
here to protect the entrance to the lizardman caves.  Marks on one of the walls
show that bored guards must engage in contests of spear and dagger throwing to
pass the time.  Racks line the walls, full of spears and thin javelins as well
as clubs and other weapons.  Despite the crude work on the benches and the
walls, it is clear that the lizardmen take special care of their weapons for
these are the tools of their survival.
Obvious exits: -South -West 
Puddles of fresh blood cover the ground.

Entryway to the Lizardman Caves
   A sign proclaiming "Clan Achelen's Domain, Invaders and Elves shall be
Slain".  It would seem that many of the lizardmen are confident in their
abilities and have no fear of visitors, others are somewhat less trusting.  A
foolhardy adventurer may get lucky though and find themselves treated as
friends.

A Rocky Cave
   The cave appears to come to a dead-end here, blocked by rubble and broken
stalactites.  At the same time it is evident that many people have passed by
here, perhaps the lizardman guards must patrol into this small area as well.  A
stone bench rests out of the way in a niche to the south, indicating that, if
nothing else, guards must pause here to rest.
Obvious exits: -East 
A broad-shouldered guardsman leans against the wall.

A Steep Cave
   The cave is so steep here that it is hard to keep one's footing.  A slick
coating of water clinging to the walls and floor of the cave are of no
assistance either.  The rock is cooler than the air and draws the moisture out
of the humid air.  Easy to defend due to its steep grade and narrow confines,
it is easy to see why the lizardmen have made their homes here.  Only the
insane, or those with a death wish, would dare to make war upon them in these
caves and caverns.
This area seems to be exceptionally narrow!

A Twisted Juncture in the Caves
   Caves lead away into darkness to the north, east and upward.  Faint flashes
of light through the narrow entrance to the east signal that someone or
something may be there.  There is little movement of air through these caves,
leaving a stale, foul smell in the air.  It is interesting to note that all the
stalactites throughout these caves have been painstakingly broken down from the
ceiling, the reasons for this remain somewhat unclear.

A Family Dwelling
   This small family cave has been left in complete disarray, most likely due
to the small lizardmen children that must sleep on the tiny beds lined up
against the northern wall.  Lizardmen aren't terribly fertile, but when they
have a brood it does tend to be quite large.  A number of hunting spears have
been lined up against the southern wall, ready for immediate use and a set of
partially completed alligatorskin armor hangs from a rack in the back of the
room.

A Twisted Juncture in the Caves
   Caves lead away into darkness to the north, east and upward.  Faint flashes
of light through the narrow entrance to the east signal that someone or
something may be there.  There is little movement of air through these caves,
leaving a stale, foul smell in the air.  It is interesting to note that all the
stalactites throughout these caves have been painstakingly broken down from the
ceiling, the reasons for this remain somewhat unclear.
Obvious exits: -North -East  -Up   
The corpse of a lizardman guard is lying here.

A Three-Way Intersection
   Caves lead off to the north, south and west, but it is to dark in any of
these directions to know what is in them.  The floor of the cave has been worn
smooth by the passing of many feet, and clearly still sees heavy use.  Water is
present everywhere, not in pools but in the air and clinging to the walls in a
wet, glossy film.  Strange odors seem to ooze in through the cave entrance to
the west.

A Sharp Turn
   The caves make a sharp turn from the south to the east here.  To the south
the cave is quite level but to the east there is a sharp slope downward.
Moisture clings to the rough stone, making it less painful to brush against but
by no means providing any comfort.  It is only slightly cooler here than in the
jungle above, but certainly just as humid and uncomfortable.
This area seems to be exceptionally narrow!

A Sloping Cave
   A steep, well-traveled incline here leads into other caverns.  It is clear
that there must be a network of caverns hidden here inside the mountains,
though how many lizardmen might be hidden here is a mystery.  Rough stone lines
the walls but the steep floor has been worn smooth by the passage of many feet.
Water clings to the walls, though it is cooler than the jungle these caves are
hidden from, the humidity is thick and cloying, leaving moisture on the cool
stone walls as a sign of its presence.  The cave climbs up slightly to the west
and drops steeply downward to the east.
Obvious exits: -West  -Down

An Intersection of Caves
   Several different caves meet here.  A large cavern can be seen through a
narrow opening to the east and a smaller cave continues to the south.  Yet
another different cave climbs almost straight upward from here with a slight
angle to the west.  The well-worn cave floor and broken stalactites are clear
signs that the lizardmen also make these caves their home.
Obvious exits: -East  -South -Up

A Painted Cavern
   Paintings adorn every face of the cavern, even the roughest parts of the
walls have been painted with extracts from various jungle flowers.  Most of the
artwork is abstract, made up of interlocked circles, squares, and triangles of
various colors.  Some parts of the walls show startlingly realistic portrayals
of lizardmen and elves at war, or lizardmen fighting some of the creatures of
the jungle.  It is clear that the artist has great skill and knowledge of just
which blends of colors to use.  Additional caverns extend to the north and east
and a small cave opening is to the west.

A Large Lizardman Home
   Several lizardman fishermen must live here, carefully woven nets hang from
pegs an the walls and even the ceiling.  Posts in the center of the room have
been erected, extending up to the high ceiling in this cave.  It appears that
the posts serve more as a place to hang more nets and fishing gear rather than
in any supporting role for the ceiling, in fact one of the posts is leaning at
an odd angle, standing only because it is wedged between the ceiling and the
floor.  Blankets lie in a variety of different spots on the floor marking the
sleeping spots of the lizardmen that live here.

A Huge Family Cavern
   This massive family cavern clearly houses a majority of the lizardmen that
make their homes within the caves.  Curtains of woven jungle leaves have been
hung in several to separate different family areas.  All the stalactites have
been broken away from the ceiling above.  The broken stalactites have been used
to create a number of benches that surround a central altar of some sort in the
middle of the cave.  Various pieces of poorly made furniture dot the area,
looking more like they have been moved roughly aside rather than placed in any
particular spot.
