    <description>From above, the swirling vortex of tile is incredibly lifelike, threatening to pull observers from the narrow walkway.  The thin ledge of shell has a slightly unnerving resiliency that belies its strength.  Just before dropping off into the eye of the whirlpool, it turns up through a natural opening in the ceiling.</description>

    <description>Hushed whispers echo softly through the tunnel, a multitude of muted voices chanting in discordant rhythms of incongruous verse.  Droplets of inky-black moisture trickle down the face of the rough sandstone walls, coming together in a shallow pool of rippling shadowy fluid, barren of any reflective qualities save for a faintly glowing image that appears to hover on the surface of the murky puddle.</description>

    <description>The tunnel comes to an abrupt end, though it takes several moments of staring at a featureless wall that is as black as space to realize this.  The air, chill and stale, seems to grow heavier with each passing moment.  The only sounds come from the faint dripping of some black liquid down the walls and a soft, sibilant whisper from the surrounding darkness.</description>

    <description>The sound of dripping water carries in faintly from the north, though curiously flat in tone.  The tunnel here seems to have a strange acoustic quality, making it easy to blame the most ordinary of sounds for that of something breathing, watching just outside the field of vision.  It is, however, harder to dismiss the darker patches of gloom that seem to move along the walls as any natural phenomena.</description>

    <description>Walls glisten with condensation, and the echoing sounds of dripping grow ever louder as the tunnel widens.  A faint glimmer comes from the near east, but this does not banish the flickering dark shapes that linger along the slick walls.  A soft, sibilant murmur reaches all travelers' ears, washing against them like the cold touch of Aldauth.</description>

    <description>Malevolent shadows linger here, unbanished even by the odd brightness of this area, and from those shadows come the soft, rhythmic sounds of something breathing.  Water drips from all around the sound of its impact against the cold stone floor is curiously flat.  The source of the unnatural, flickering light is a hefty wall of translucent material that would humble even the tallest of people.</description>

    <description>Curving around a set of great translucent shards, the cavern slopes like a great spiral ramp.  The dim light of the shards reflects from the slick stone walls and casts long shadows that reach far into the branching corridors.  From the depths below, the irregular beat of dripping water echoes faintly.</description>

    <description>The blank, curving stone walls of this dead end magnify any sound in the deathlike silence of these tunnels.  The rustle of fabric becomes a stormy sea, and the tinkling of the persistent drops of black water becomes a slow, maddening drumbeat.  From all around comes the whisper of breath, creating a damp air that clings to flesh and stone alike.</description>

    <description>Glistening like faint stars on the dank floor, translucent shards of strange material stick out in a curve along the walls.  There is a constant puff of moving air, unusual in this place where all seems still and dead, yet shadows continue to linger close as if unwilling to let through any trespass.</description>

    <description>Jagged scars line the walls.  Older gashes, deep and smoothed by time, are overlaid with sharp jagged scrapes from a much more recent time.  Water trickles along them, creating glistening highlights along the ragged edges.  In blind rage or as a warning, something has marked this place.  Small fragments yet remain of translucent shards, leading northwest in a continuing curve.</description>

    <description>To the northeast, the corridor narrows to become barely passable and, along with the sharp downward slope, effectively isolates this area from the surrounding tunnels.  From the rocky ceiling, large fans of some luminescent fungus dispel the darkness, making this place less attractive to the shadowy creatures that roam the cavern.  Despite the reassuring glow, however, the sounds of breathing are never far away and act as a constant reminder of what waits beyond this small sanctuary.</description>

    <description>Vicious scars mar the dank, dark walls of the cavern.  Between the cold, black water that floods here and the sharp stalactites and stalagmites that fill the room, easy movement is but a faint hope.  Barely a glimmer of light can survive here, with the floodwater as dark as the stones themselves.</description>

    <description>Crisscrossing claw marks rake the walls, the graffiti of vengeance and victory.  Water drips down the length of limestone pillars and from the fang-like stalactites still reaching to pierce the surface of the water.  Beneath the waterline, the hidden floor of the cavern is far from smooth.  Small holes and jutting arms of stone hinder progress, especially toward the west where the path becomes narrower.</description>

    <description>The water here pools like a silent onyx lake, broken only by the sounds of the incessant dripping that reverberate hollowly around the chamber.  At the western edge, a series of worn stone steps lead up from the water's surface to a carved archway bearing three colored stones.</description>

    <description>The stone walls spread from each other here, then come together at the far end of the watery cavern, forming a wide circle.  Drops of water disturb the still surface of the small underground lake and cast distorted reflections of the ubiquitous claw marks upon the walls.  Large fragments of shattered stone rise from the water's depths, their jagged edges slowly smoothing as the dripping water endlessly reshapes the rock.</description>

    <description>Heavy draperies line the inner walls of this bamboo and thatch hut, intended to please the eye and shield the interior of the dwelling from any inclement weather.  Lambent illumination, thrown by the wavering flame of a box lantern suspended from the ceiling, struggles to fill the chamber.  A thick curtain divides the space, hiding a portion of the room from sight.</description>

    <description>The salt-stained sail rises high above, emblazoned with the form of a tall pyramid.  The captain barks orders to a meager crew of two, who don't appear in any great hurry to complete their assigned tasks.  Rigging lines and stray coils of rope create a hazardous path across the deck.</description>
