As water streams around you, cascading over rocks toward the lowlands, you desperately search for a path that will lead you through the mountain. There is no Deepwood here to block your view, but still the rain and darkness of the storm hamper visibility. Then, through a flash of lightning, you see it. The mouth of a cave. Could this be a tunnel to the far side?

Sparking an amber torch, you inspect the opening. You hear no danger within and see no telltale glints of light moving in the darkness watching you. Frozen and soaked through, you head in.

Almost immediately, a silence falls over you. A welcome quiet, devoid of howling and broken only by the rhythmic sound of your footsteps. As you had hoped, the cave becomes a tunnel and continues to stretch toward the West. You may finally be having some good fortune for a change.
