The group heads down to the stables. There is a skink-like lizard the size of ox tied up to a cart laden with goods. Rather than wheels, it has glowing stones embedded into its bottom, and floats slightly off the ground.<br/><br/>A second lizard-and-cart next to it, but with space yet, and Gram beckons to Zarna. "Yer beast and ye can set up here if you like. It's a long trek."<br/><br/>Ozdimir clambers on and the dwarves take their places at the front of the hovering wagons ready to drive the lizards.<br/><br/>"Shouldn't be too long though," Gram calls back. "We know a few shortcuts... will let us keep out of the way of any trouble."<br/><br/><br/>The journey is a slow and uneventful one, taking a few hours. Ozdimir makes small conversation with Zarna about foods, music, and wonders of the natural world - subjects of interest but nothing into her personal life. Several times the lizards climb up sheer cliffs, though the hover-cart platforms remain oriented upright for the ascent as the are pulled along.<br/><br/>Eventually they come an end in the tunnels, where a gigantic spider carved into the stone looms over the gate into a vast cavern. Numerous large stalactites of glowing stone hang from the ceiling, giving a mundane, but still dim enough for drow eyes, lighting to the cave. The walls of the cavern are dotted with nooks and alcoves carved into the rock, with ramps and scaffolding constructed up their length for access to these outer neighborhoods. In the middle, stone walkways interweave like a web between larger formations of stone which have been hollowed out and renovated for use. Shalehallow looks like it's seen better days, as several of these areas are in extreme disrepair, and Zarna notes that there is graffiti everywhere, mocking local families and once-important person for their failures and decline from glory.<br/><br/>"Well, here we are," grunts Gram. "Not the prettiest place in the ground, but they still have enough money lying about to buy some goods. We'll be off  to find out which tavern has the best ale."
