{{Have a good weekend then Praexon, though it seems eveyone is busy this weekend going by the lack of posts since Thursday. Though I am wondering if the topic has got too long, I've noticed it no longer shows on the main page under latest posts (even after a new post), and I'm not getting any e-mails about replies to the topic}}<br/><br/>Taking the group's silence as assent, Rihyan walks up the slope a bit nearer the cliff, and out from under the skeletal trees cover. He then takes off and disappears from view.<br/><br/>[spot take 20 + 9 = 29]<br/>[search take 20 + 6 = 26]<br/><br/>{{assuming Rihyan's going to be taking enough time searching for any caves to take 20}}<br/><br/>A short time later Rihyan returns. "I've found a cave that might be suitable, its about half a mile northwest, and about 30 feet up the cliff face." Rihyan then goes on to describe the cavern.<br/><br/>"There's a small ledge out the front, with a small cave entrance behind it. following the cave into the cliff, it bears left, then back to the right, before opening out into a large cavern. The cavern is pretty big, with a rocky floor. There is a spring that trickles down into a small pool at the south side of the cavern. There are no other large exits from the cave. But the roof has cracks in it. I could see no recent evidence of any inhabitance of the cave"<br/><br/>{{other notes. The ledge and cave entrance are small to Rihyan, but probably not to anyone else in the group, the ledge about 8ft wide jutting about 5ft out from the cliff. The cave entrance is about 6ft high by 3ft wide, bears left about 20ft into the cliff, and back right after another 15ft. The cavern is about 40ft high, by 100ft wide by 150ft deep. Not sure if the cave is cold enough that the spring and pool should be frozen. The cracks in the ceiling eventually lead out into the open, so would take the smoke from a campfire. The cracks will diffuse the smoke over a large area, so that it isnt that visible. The ledge overhangs, so to climb directly up onto the ledge would be a DC15 climb for 20 ft followed by a DC25 climb for the remaining 10. There are very few handholds on the cliff, and you cannot see another way onto the ledge by climbing around it, then working back across to it. There is no natural light within the cavern.}}
