> Head on through the tunnel the eating fairy ran through earlier.

>You make you way through the northern tunnel. It is quickly becomes fairly constricted; the ceiling stooping down low enough that it brushes against your hair and walls close enough to touch with your elbows. It's not hard to see why faeries like it. It is fairly straight, and opens up again after a a few yards to an immense chamber with an smooth floor covered with rocky ledges and rises; you can see the familiar ravine in the middle.
>You also note a bit of green hair poking around one of the ledges, and quickly note it is attached to a faerie peeking around it. You can only see her hair and a bit of her face, but you're sure this is the same faerie who ran away in terror a few minutes ago.

>"They're the worst!" says the faerie. "Like...like...like eating a whole bunch of bad mushrooms then trying to breath water and punch rocks at the same time! You don't wanna mess with a creeping ganode, they'll knock your socks off!"
>She grins. "And I'm gonna catch it!"

>"Oh yeah, it's over there," she says, gesturing toward a tunnel to the east. You're pretty certain that one leads to the room you awoke in. "I wasn't impressed, but they could make it nice if they wanted to."

>You float into the tunnel, leaving the faerie behind. It is indeed the uneven and craggy tunnel that you remember, you note the whitish bit of quartz embedded in it that you took a fancy to earlier. As you follow the corridor while it inclines upward then turns to the right, you can see the chamber with the low ceiling that you woke up in. You also note a faerie with a blue dress puttering around in it; you're reasonably certain this is the same one you saw before.
