#AREA Slime Caves~ Zargon~ ~ 0 0 0 #ROOMS #6285 Before a Dark Cave~ You are just inside a cave, where the musty smell of fungus and rotting meat is blown out to be replaced by fresh cold air. The bad smell comes from below where it looks like greenish slime covers the walls. You can hear faint sounds coming from somewhere down there. ~ no_mob adding newbie protection action. ~ 301465613 0 6 0 D3 ~ ~ 0 -1 28060 10 10 5 D5 ~ ~ 0 -1 6286 10 10 5 E 1 down slime~ Looking down and watching closely, you see the slime move!

They smell, and are coarse to the touch. You cannot find anything interesting in them. ~ E pile~ Which pile? Bones or fur? ~ E 4 bones~ The bones look like they have been collecting for some time. A few look fresh. Rummaging around in them you find some human, and dwarven ones, possibly a few elven and a goblins or two. You find nothing else of interest. ~ E floor vent~ The vent is a raised hole with sloping sides, about a foot high. It's about the size of your head, and from it rises hot dry air.

Thin trails of slime cover parts of the walls, making a climb up out of it more than difficult. Some thirty feet deep, the earthen pit is extremely damp and muddy. The markings along the lower portion of the pit make it look as if someone has been trying to climb out of here. ~ ~ 301465613 5 9 0 D4 ~ ~ 235 -1 6292 10 10 5 A ~ ~ mob = mob_in_room( 2185, room ); tell( mob, ch, #no ); wait( 1 ); if( mob_in_room( 30, find_room( 6292 ) ) ) { if( !rflag( reset0, room ) ) { act_room( #bellow, ch ); set_rflag( reset0, room ); close( room, up ); send_to_room( #close, find_room( 6292 ) ); } } ~ E no~ No, don't come down here.
