Bottom of a Waterfall~
The air is dense with the thick mists of spray created by the waterfall. 

Just as the heavy mist conceals sight, the roar of the water crashing

down nearly drowns out all sound as well.  The roiling water makes it

hard to stand as it rushes away from the continued onslought of the

downpour.

~
and the slowly changing colors of lights.

cave motes?

and lot of obscuring mists near here from the crsahing water of the fall.

--- Remember to have area action with random collapsing/cleared tunnels. 

Warren of tunnels will essentially be a shifting maze that always has at

least 2-3 usable tunnels.  troll/goblin miners as work mobs wandering the

tunnels, if one comes into collapsed room it will start repairing it.

--- Action to have water try to force you to down room.

#59501
Southeastern Edge of an Underground Lake~
The steep cavern wall arcs around from the west to the south forming a

barrier to the underground lake.  Pale moss with long tendril-like

strands grows in patches on the cavern wall congregating primarily at the

waterline.  Many of the thin tendrils reach all the way into the water

and float lazily on its surface, bobbing up and down with the gentle

waves.

#59502
Underground Lake~
The deafening noise of a waterfall crashing down onto the lake comes

directly from the east now.  The roiling mist of water thrown up billows

away in rolling clouds that occasionally part long enough for a glimps of

the magnificent sight.  The water crashing down comes from an opening

near the cavern ceiling and falls well over one hundred feet before

plunging into the chilling cavern lake.

#59505
Southeastern Edge of an Underground Lake~
The tug of the moving water attempts to drag you westward, though the

pull is weak enough that you are able to resist it with a little effort. 

Bits of flotsom, primarily loose tendrils of moss and various fungus, bob

along the surface following the flow of the water.  Beneath the surface

of the water you can see pale, sightless fish which still manage to

scatter every time you come near them.

Underground Lake~
Diffused orbs of color move about above the surface of the lake with a

serene grace.  Their muted colors slowly shifting as they dance within

the curtain of mist.  Off to the north and west the mist thrown up by the

waterfall is thin enough for you to make out a shoreline to this

underground lake.

Underground Lake~
Gentle waves ripple along the surface making the soggy weeds and fungi

that make up the majority of the flotsam bob about aimlessly.  The silt

stirred up from the turbulence of the waterfall causes a slight murk in

the water that only increases in intensity as you get closer to the fall

itself to the northeast.  The cavernous ceiling high above is obscured

well out of sight by the spray of the waterfall that permeates everywhere

in this watery underground realm.

The solid stone of the cavern walls form an echo chamber that amplifies

the cascading waterfall's roar to an almost intollerable level.  The

sound of the water slapping against nearby rock barriers is completely

lost in the cacophanous sound.

Underground Lake~
Water-rounded rocks retain enough broad flat surfaces to make them

convenient foot and handholds to pull yourself out of the lake and onto

the stoney shoreline running north to west of here.  A current in the

water keeps it in motion as it tried to overun the shore then draws back

for a moments respite.  The mist thrown off by the waterfall is thin, but

present even this far away.

Underground Lake~
The swirling currents of the river try to slosh you about as it

alternatively attempts to push you shoreward and drag you back towards

the main flow of water.  The turbulance makes it difficult to determine

if they sensation of things brushing against you beneath the waters

surface is real or only imagined.  The churning water kicks up a little

foam that adds to the already prevalent mist created by the waterfall to

the east.

Southern Edge of an Underground Lake~
The pull of the water is strong here as it tries to drag you westward. 

Fortunately there are sufficient large rocks fallen into the water from

the cavern ceiling far above to give you ample holds to resist the pull. 

Whlie some of the rocks are still sharp-edged enough to be new, most are

smoothly rounded by centuries of erosion.

Underground Lake~
You swim on the edge of a shoreline to an underground lake.  The hard,

stone floor of the cavern dips into the water then angles sharply

downward as it drops off to the bottom of the subterranean lake.  Ample

rocks of various size project at points to provide easy access in or out

of the lake.

Swimming in an Underground Lake~
It is extremely difficult to see through the turbulence created by the

torrent of water and bubbles constantly introduced by the waterfall

overhead.  You must constantly work against the downward current to keep

from being forced even deeper into the dark, watery depths.

Swimming in an Underground Lake~
Millenia of the waterfalls constant torrent have managed to erode away

the stone to a deeper point here where it pounds mercilessly against the

hard stone directly beneath its impact point.  Within this watery

maelstrom you are constantly buffeted about and are hard pressed to see

anything other than the turbulent waters with any clarity.  Several close

calls resulting in minor scrapes and bruises as you are tumbled about can

attest that it is lined on all sides but above by hard, unyielding stone.
