Re: IC I
Fourthday, Sixmonth, Forty-thirdyear of the 16th Cycle
9:40 am
Ten turns elapsed
The Redoubt of the Crocodile Kings
Hex 13.42
With the prospect of the corridor leading to more treasure and excitement, the adventurers head eastward. The corridor is long, and runs for one hundred feet before entering a new chamber. This chamber is small, measuring thirty feet to a side. The corridor the party has just traveled down enters in the center of the western wall. Set into the center of the north, east, and southern walls are wooden doors. Like the other wooden doors the adventurers have encountered on this level, they are sized for Men, the larger original openings having been built in with masonry. All three doors are closed. Scrawled across the door in the eastern wall, written in what looks to be charcoal, is a message written in crude Faery: "Gochelwch deyrnas y cerrig-gwerin".
Tiarsus is able to translate this to mean, roughly, "Caution! The land of the stone-dwellers lies beyond."

The Redoubt of the Crocodile Kings
Hex 13.42
The adventurers move to the south wall and listen at the door. Hearing nothing, they push the door open, revealing a room that has been devastated by the a rockfall. There's a short, twenty foot corridor that leads into the room, entering into the northern wall ten feet east of the western wall. The room looks like it was originally fifty feet wide, east to west, but it is currently impossible to tell how deep it was, as the ceiling has collapsed on a rough diagonal line running from ten feet south of the northern wall to thirty feet south at the eastern edge. The slope of rubble is about ten feet tall at the far end and it forms a steep incline up to the solid rock above. The party's lantern-light reveals what looks to be a narrow passage of natural rock in the eastern corner of the room, leading south.

The Redoubt of the Crocodile Kings
Hex 13.42
The adventurers head south through the corridor created by rubble, Booku needing to turn sideways to make it through. The fallen rubble seems recent, and, curiously, the corridor opens up to a space wholly different from everything else the adventurers have seen thus far in the complex; chiefly, what appears to be a naturally formed cavern, with rough walls and floors, rock formations glistening with moisture. It seems to be a reasonable assumption that the same temblor that exposed the entrance to the complex also caused the ceiling and wall to collapse here, opening access to a potentially separate cavern.
The cavern itself is shaped roughly like a rectangle -- 30' north to south and 20' east to west -- but turned at a 45 degree angle to that access, so the long length of the room runs from the northeast to the southwest. A tunnel, roughly five feet wide and about eight feet tall, leads out of the southeast portion of the room. There does not immediately appear to be a threat in here, but the surfaces all glisten with moisture, and unlike the construction of the other section, with it's nearly perfectly smooth walls and crisp angles, there are plenty of nooks and crannies here.

Re: IC I
Varies, but averages about 10' in height. Classic cave ceiling, with stalactites, etc.

It's hard to explain puns to kleptomaniacs because they always take things literally.

Mutton is having a laugh. I will keep an eye looking up. Very funny!
He does indeed look above to make sure there a no more spiders or other critters jumping down on the party.
