Hatchling Cave Encounter

The earth beneath your feet starts to soften, and a 

musty smell lingers in the air.  When before the cave 

tunnels had echoed with the sounds of the parties 

movements and the whistling of the air flow, now it 

was being dampened by something.  As you approach 

another intersection of the tunnels you notice the dark 

brown rock covered in a white stringy material, that 

clings to the harsh edges of the walls, ceilings and floor 

softening the underground landscape.

Rounding the corner you see the cause for the change 

in terrain; large pale clusters of webbed sacks litter the 

cavern, occupying the floor and the roof.  Various items 

seem to be engulfed by the webbing, glimmers of silver 

and gold can be made out amongst glimpses of what 

might be faces.  In the far end of the cavern a light 

shines from what appears to be a bottle, nestled 

amongst a nest of webs attached to the wall.
