> Score.
> Finish making our way out of the ravine, then head east, back toward the Ancient City.
>And keep track of our route, so we know how to get back here.
>You get to eat tonight!
>You extract yourself from the ravine, and take a few moments to ponder the most direct course back to the main tunnel. After a few moments of consideration, you elect to use a fairly small tunnel that takes a looping path which should deposit you on the near side of the bat warrens near the surface. The tunnel itself is particularly oval-like, its ceiling coming to a peak above you and its floor gently rounding into the walls to the point that little of it isn't curved. Here and there are natural contractions that make a kind of doorway and make the tunnel seem to be segmented. The stone here is dry and free of moss, but you catch sight of the occasional insect moving about.
>Soon, you can hear water dripping ahead, and the tunnel widens into a sizable chamber, shaped roughly like a soy bean and some yards across at the narrow point. The floor is smooth and full of little holes and hollows, a people who walks normally would run the risk of breaking their ankle in here. Much of this chamber is covered by a shallow pool of water, feed by moisture dripping from the stalactites overhead. The water is not good to drink, and you wouldn't want to disturb it anyways. Little mats of algae float atop of the pool, as does the occasional water skimmer. While you cannot see well into the water itself, you know it to be home to tiny fish that have probably lived there for countless fish generations. You aren't the only person who passes through here, in the past you have found little scraps of cloth and other odds and ends in various little places. Up ahead, you can see another corridor. Obvious exits are east and west.
