"Spelunking went better than I thought. Perhaps I underestimated myself, perhaps I was in luck. Regardless, I figured quickly that a torch wasn’t the only thing I would need to arrange, I would also need something for a trail so I could find my way back outside. I spent far too long gathering pebbles by the nearby shore and hill, with an aching back to boot after a very uncomfortable night of sleep. In the end, I left most of them by the cave entrance as I could only carry so many in my pouch.
There was the occasional dusk of course, but nothing I couldn’t handle. What surprised me was to find what seem to be the ruins of an underground shelter or structure. With all the moss and mouldy unrecognizable remains of goods, it must have been left untouched for a substantially long time. There wasn’t really much left of interest to scavenge. Just a few bits of what looks like a smith’s small iron supply and what I can swear is a pouch of rune dust. I suppose I’ll leave it at Zaira’s and Bishop’s house, they’ll be more interested in it than I. There were also rusty bits of armour but Stars above, they must be meant for a long since dead warhorse. The bits were far too large for me to carry with me.
I continued until I had run into a few dead ends, realizing it wasn’t the largest cave I’ve seen. At least, not its upper layer of tunnels. I ran into a horribly dark and probably deadly deep hole. Judging by the faint daylight from its ceiling, there’s an opening to the surface. If I were to guess, I’d say there are more tunnels below. I’m not about to try to find out, I’m calling it a day with this successful exploring. My back still hurts like shit and the bat that startled me in there didn’t help one fucking bit.
For this time, I have work to return to. But first, I’m going to have a warm bath for my back then a good afternoon nap."
