Smiling at Dolok´s try to store his gear Leto remarks:
If you are ready we can go on.
So we decided to head east, into the unkown section....
Tanith goes "East it is then."

Dolok, as you look within the case you find a blank scroll, and the map to the location of the cache hidden in a shrine built during the 2nd crusade, up north of here a few days hard ride. When you pull the blank scroll and map out to see what else is in there, you find another blank roll of parchment scroll paper.
You hand the map and blank scroll off to Tanith. You pull out the new scroll, it too is blank. As you do so the blank one that Tanith had in his hands disipears. inside the scroll case is another scroll. This process continues as you all retrace your steps.
Curious you think.
All in all, about an hour has passed now since you started heading east. You have returned to the room where you think, perhaps, some type of sarcophisis was once stored. You have drawn a pair of slashes through the ? that was on the eastern most passage. Everything behind you is marked with an X. You have headed off into the unknown, following the fresh air, hoping that it will lead you to the surface.
The tunnel wound around itself a fair bit and most of you are so turned around that you cant tell which direction you are heading. Some of you may know which way is which. You have come to another fork in the tunnel.
To the left, is a cave filled with both stalagtites and stalagmites growing, some even grown into pillars. The moss and stones have glow with a very sickly green color to those without darkvision.
In the deep purples of shadows, the many hues of the browns of dirt and the greys of stone, in the red of the forge light, in the white of a molten silver, in blue of deepest waters is written in dwarven runes.
Help us.. .We holdfast.
Above and below it are almost every single rune, or sigil or glyph or ward of protection in almost every religious or magical tradition and many that you have no clue what they. They glow very faintly, as though they were created a while back or with fading powers.
To the right, the path leads to the right and slightly up. it extends as far as you can see into darkness.
The curving cave you have been following ends in perfectly round tunnel that goes through well everything. It goes down slightly to your left, and up slightly to your right. But this entire tunnel either direction was carved or created by someone or something.
Survival:
Niesen starts drawing all the little bends and twists on his map, but soon gives up. "Any of you know where we are?" he asks the others, holding out his notebook and pencil.
I have to admitt, i have no clue where we are right now. That glow from the moss and stones really sets me off. Never seen the like before.
I have no idea where we are at either
After thinking it over for a moment, Niesen scratches out the twisty bits on his map, labels them "Twisty Tunnel", then turns to a fresh page and starts anew, with a little arrow that says, "Twisty Tunnel that way".
"We're here!" he says, pointing to his new map with a thick finger.
Leto rides close to Niesen and tries to catch a look on the map from amount Blackpaw.
I know we´re here, esle we would be somewhere else wouldn´t we?
The question is, qhere do we go next and how do we get out of here?
The prospective halfling knight looks rather perplexed.
For the briefest of time Dolok considers to join in on the exchange between Niesen, Leto and Tanith, but decides against it. Instead, he walks towards the entrance to the cave filled with stalagtites and stalagmites and casts some light towards it, trying to see if he can spot anything unusual.
"Nope, nothing special here."
"No idea. Remember, no matter where you go, there you are!"
"Going to the right looks like it goes towards the surface, at least, for a little ways."
Allright let´s go to the right!
So, we go to the right, right?
