Large Cave Entrance~
Before you, a very large opening in the hillside seems to split the hill

in half.  The yawning mouth of the cave is enormous, and seems to engulf

the surrounding terrain.  The hard-packed, dirt path slopes downward

oward it, leading into darkness.  Two large boulders on either side of

the cave entrance keep loose stones and dirt from spilling into the

massive cavern.  A small path leads up to a ledge above the mouth of the

cave.

This large, dim room gives shelter to the rock formations all around

you.  Stalagtites hang from the top, most of them broken off.  They drip

water onto you and the stone floor, making everything musty and damp. 

Two equally large tunnels branch off from here going into the darkness

Top Of A Small Hill~
You are at the top of a small hill.  A large cave entrance at the bottom

of the hill to the north draws your attention.  The small foothills

surrounding this place make it seem like a valley.  The smaller hills are

dwarfed by a large mound to the north.  The huge, snow-capped spires of

the Cairn mountains in the distance loom over the hillside.

Before A Small Hill~
This muddy path has taken you to the base of a small hill.  Just beyond

it, the top of a more rough looking hill can be seen.  The path up the

hill seems more stable, with a few pebbles packed into its hard dirt. The

few wild bushes around you have been trampled down, and what little wild

grass there is seems to be dying, its color a faint brown.

Bend In The Muddy Path~
The path bends around the beginning of a small hill and continues to the

north.  Your feet sink into the dark mud, making it an effort to walk at

normal pace.  You can see more small, grey hills to the east, and a

larger one to the north.  There are a few wild flowers trampled by the

side of the path, and a dying sapling grows just to the south, many of

its branches are broken and limp.

Muddy Path~
Entering the foothills of the Cairn Mountains, the snow-capped peaks loom

above you in the distance to the north.  The foothills themselves are

a rocky, barren area covered with little more than mud and stones.  The

occassional gnarled pine struggles to stand against the ever present

mountain wind.  A rather vague path winds its way westward, covered in

soupy, black mud.

You are on a ledge that overlooks the terrain south.  You can almost see

the wild grass growing in the foothills down below.  They look like giant

footprints, leading to this particular cavern.  Looking down, you can see

the small dirt path and the small hill far below.  The wind here blows

dirt and small rocks from the wall behind you, pelting you with tiny

stings.  There is a small beehive on a large rock above you.

This dirt path has fallen into disuse.  Dusty and littered with small

stones, it bears small resemblance to the hard-packed dirt at the

entrance to the cave.  The rough, stone walls are covered with jagged

rocks and clusters of clear quartz.  The main tunnel curves to the north,

with a smaller tunnel continuing west.

Tunnel~

well as the horrible stench of decay.  Small quartz crystals shimmer in

been ripped from the walls.

At The Underground Lake~
This wide cavern houses a shallow, underground lake.  The water is

crystal clear; bottom of the pool is quite evident.  To the west, a small

waterfall flows into the lake from a high ledge, the roar of the falling

water echoing through the cavern.  Huge, jagged rocks prevent any

westward movement, blocking off access to the waterfall.  The dirt path

turns into packed clay that leads east into another giant opening in the

rock.

ground, the dim light making it glow like a lantern.  There is a small

hole in the west wall.

The smell of decay is even worse in here.  The sounds of water echo off

Large, flat rocks jut out of the north wall, forming a crude, yet

climbable, staircase to the ledge.  The path continues to the east and

The door looks old and rotted. It also looks like it gets frequent abuse.

The small, crude lantern sits on the oak table, shedding weak light on

the room.

Extravagantly carved and lovingly polished, this oak table seems out of

place in these rough, stone tunnels.

A Private Room~
This room is larger than any you have encountered in the tunnels and

decorated with various animal skins.  A poorly cured grizzly rug covers a

giant stone slab, and a dragonskin hangs above it on the wall.  Lanterns

hang on the walls, providing enough light to see the ceiling, which is

cracked, water dripping onto the floor.  A rotted wooden lever sticks out

of a crack in the wall.

A Prison~
In this room, there is a small cage to the west, not occupied at the

moment.  Another large table sits to the north, and a huge, dirty leather

vest is hung over a nearby chair.  

~

[Merior] this isnt a real good rdesc - might as well re-do it too

[Celine] add dex

Treasure Room~
Adjoined to the chieftan's room, the hill giants treasure vault is easily

guarded by Gharl.  Though it is merely a tiny alcove roughly chiseled out

of the rock, it contains many treasures, most broken and worthless.  Here

is where all the gold and gems are stored after digging them out of rocks

or, more often, stealing them from helpless victims.
