Beneath the Stone Bier~
A narrow shaft descends from a hole at the top of this narrow, vertical

cavern.  Formed from limestone, the passageway is rough, as if it has been

dug through.  Large divots of stone have been carved out of the limestone

cavern, providing handholds for climbing.  The walls of the shaft are

painted with the images of wolves and eagles.

~
*I appreciate what eveyone thinks I liked - going back to divots.

Inside an Old Cavern Complex~
This appears to be the beginning of a large series of caverns.  Directly

to the north is a tall, domed cavern with passages branching off of it. 

Above your head, a shaft has been dug through the limestone and continues

upward into darkness.  Chunks of limestone have been gouged out of the

side of the shaft, providing more than adequate handholds for the ascent.

Domed Cavern~
Nearly perfectly circular, this cavern is very wide and tall.  Some fifty

feet above the smooth floor of the limestone cavern is a graceful, domed

ceiling.  Hanging down from the center of the dome is a single stalactite. 

Four passages of limestone, hollowed out naturally, branch off from the

cavern in the cardinal directions.  Directly to the north, the gleam of

gold catches your eye.

Though you cannot see exactly what it is, you are certain of two things. 

You can see something north just up ahead and whatever it is, it is big.

Near a Golden Stalagmite~
Rising from the ground and nearly filling the cavern is a tall, golden

stalagmite.  Formed from brilliant yellow, almost gold limestone, the

dripstone formation comes within a few feet of touching the cavern's

smooth, pale grey ceiling.  The cavern continues around the golden spire

to the north and south.

Circular Cavern~
Roughly circular, this cavern is very large.  Some thirty feet above your

feet the ceiling stands, with a few slim stalactites dripping off of it. 

Four passages of limestone, hollowed out naturally and smoothly, branch

off from the cavern in the cardinal directions.  Directly to the south

This little cavern has a high ceiling and an extremely level floor. 

Neither stalactites nor stalagmites mar the perfect smoothness of the

Before a Yawning Chasm~
A large, cavernous passage extends from the west to the east.  However, a

yawning chasm stretches across the entire cavern from north to south,

preventing travel to the west.  A single spiraling stalactite hangs from

the ceiling of the passage, directly over the center of the chasm.

Slanted Cavern~
This broad cavern slants slightly to the south at a downward angle. 

While the limestone walls are slightly rough, the floor is extremely

smooth.  It is as if the floor has been polished or worn down by an

abundance of traffic, yet you can see little other evidence of this.  The

cavern continues to the south and east.  Also, along the northern part of

the cavern is a giant slab of stone.  Beside it, set into the limestone,

is a depression shaped like a hand print.

Slanted Cavern~
This broad cavern slants slightly to the south at a upward angle.  While

the limestone walls are smooth, the floor is extremely rough.  It seems

as if this portion of the caverns has received very little traffic.  The

cavern continues to the south and west.  Also, along the northern part of

the cavern is a giant slab of stone.  Beside it, set into the limestone,

is a depression shaped like a hand print.

Tomb with Wall Paintings~
The remains of a partial cave-in lie to the east, cluttering the small

cavern's only entrance and exit.  Stalactites barely a foot long hang

from the ceiling, poised directly above the long stone bier resting at

the cavern's center.  Painted upon the smooth, pale grey walls are small

paw prints.

||move mound east||

[Merior] can east close? if so, room can be wrong

*it says clutering, doesnt say sealing off.  It doesnt say either fully. 

added leaving message to clarify.

[Merior] if token doesnt always pop - should it be in her description?

*nod, yeah, i think it should. see mirror wrong for argument :)

[Merior] is stone just treasure?

no, its a replacenet for low-level rbacers or equal gem bracers

[Merior] generally 'big' mobs are more then 2 levels higher then little ones

*um, yeah, so?  general zones follow the chief/shaman/cook/gaurd/warrior

pattern too which is not exactly original. The mobs are 20% higher than their guards :p...

*added paw print paint

cave-in remains pile rubble~
A large amount of rubble lies against the east wall.  Though it appears

to be from a cave-in, some of the rocks within it look strategically

placed.  You can feel a faint breeze coming from beyond it.

paw prints~
Tiny paw prints decorate the walls.  Most of them are half as big as your

hand.  They look like the paw prints of wolf cubs.

Cavern Tomb~
The entrance to this cavern is little more than a gap in the western wall. 

Within, you can see a series of horses painted upon the wall.  Formed

from limestone, the cavern's surfaces are smooth and dry.  There is very

little within the chamber, save for a long bier of grey stone.

[Loxus] is there supposed to be a _male_ ghost in here?

walls painted painting horses~
A series of crude images decorate the walls.  The images are of both

short and tall horses, each of which are frolicing and dancing about.
