The Marble Mountains was a peacefull and beautifull natural terrain. The mountains, earning their name from the high source of marble stone found alongside them, provided all sorts of adventure and occupation. For the town of Reach, whom was propperly named after the untamed frontiers of these lands, earned their bread through the many untapped natural materials in the area, Marble quarries being one of the most popular ones. Reach was a large town for this frontier, quickly growing into what could become an expansionist area if all continued as it did. But it was not without it's own problems, of course. Some months ago, the masons found, and seemingly activated a series of magical caverns hidden inside the mountain. Monsters kept coming out of the caves to raid ever since. It did not take long for people, adventurer mainly to realise these caves were different. Their halls are ever changing, and thus earned the name, The Caverns of Chaos. Reach has now become a popular place for adventurers, more arriving each day. Lots of them head into the dungeon, some are never seen again, and some come back, empty handed or with treasures.<br/><br/>Valaqui, the brave rogue, was not used to this much traveling. City-life was a lot different than that of the untamed wilderness, and she nearly perished on her journey here, coming ill-prepared for the rough weather of these northlands. She had a chanse to correct some of her mistakes when she finally arrived at Reach. Her guild had heard about the Caverns, but it was too far away to make something effective out of it. Though her comptetors in the guild used her as a great oppertunity to rid themselves off the skilled, goody-hearted Thief that plagued them so. With snakish tongues, they tricked her to go, with the promise of great untapped treassure. Indeed, so eager was she to steal this all for herself, that she did not even stop to find more information about the place, completly unknowing of the dangers. It was a win-win situation for her enemies, as she would most likely not return. And if she did, they would make sure she encountered an accident. And her treassure ending up with them.<br/><br/>Her path had lead her through a chasm, at the base of the mountain, where she'd found her entrance to the caves. It looked like an old mineshaft, a dug passage that was roughly supported by beams. Whoever had dug this passage, did a sloppy work, but the cavern looked stable enough. With her heigtend vission, she could see far into the cave, it seemed to be leading inward, and then turning behind a corner further up. There was no source of light as far as she could see, and not even her inherited elven eyes could see in the dark.
