章 590: Vespri: Dharta

/Inferno: Bali: Some hot springs?

/Inferno: Nix: That's my guess.

A wave of humid, warm air hit the Inferno duo in the face when they ducked under a heavy curtain that was drawn across the entrance to the caverns. The slight smell of sulfur combined with body odor's staleness tempted Nix to tear down the makeshift door to let fresh air in.

The narrow entrance quickly expanded into a cave about five meters wide. Stalactites hung from the brown rock ceilings, lit by torches that put out just enough light to navigate. Nix paused to examine the nearest torch; it definitely wasn't the flame variety.

/Inferno: Bali: It's a druid lamp, must be one close by. They create them with wisps.

He touched the torch with his bare hand; the light it cast was slightly bluish, and Nix found it uncomfortable to look at. "I'll take fire any day."

The cavern tilted down at a steep angle and meandered back and forth like a lazy snake for several minutes before ending in a large dome-like room.
