Wake up to a loud noise

From Torg Adventure

Your dreams of Elfish sexual bliss and pointy-eared children are broken by the noise of thunder reverberating through the cave. Trianna clutches your body, shivering in fear. You smell something noxious and sharp. Brimstone, like from the hot springs up north. The air is much warmer than before and seems to be wafting up the passage toward the outside.

The two of you quickly grab your clothes, finding them mostly dry from the warm air. In a minute, you are both venturing down the tunnel toward the source of the smell. Tri'lanna's crystal rests above the collar of her top, giving a dim light ahead. The passage twists and joins other tunnels, and then splits off again a score of strides farther. After about ten minutes of walking beneath the earth, your elf-lover tops you with her arm. She grasps the crystal and dims the light. Up ahead you can now see a faint glow. As you approach slowly, the tunnel opens into a large cavern. The walls flicker in a orange light. When you look down into the cave, you see that the passage is quite a way up the side of the wall, and the floor drops off in a cliff. You look to either side and see a narrow ledge leading down the wall to the left.

The light comes from an orb suspended in the middle of the cavern. You can see the thick chains that hang from the ceiling. Stalagmites and stalactites, as well as flows of stone down several places on the wall, make the chamber a natural wonder of extreme beauty. The colors of the stone, white, creams, yellows, reds, greens, blues, and browns gave the cavern the look of a painting.
