As I tread down this 60-foot passageway, I can't help but feel a sense of relief as the darkness envelops me. My darkvision proves to be quite useful in these situations, allowing me to see clearly in this pitch black environment. Clad in my trusty Chain Mail Armor and wielding my sturdy Black Axe, I am ready for whatever may come my way.

Upon reaching the end of the passageway, I find myself standing in a massive natural cave that spans approximately 100 feet by 70 feet. The air is thick with dampness, and water trickles down from overhead, forming a pool in the center of the room. The sound of droplets hitting the surface creates a soothing melody, but I can't help but feel a sense of unease as I take in my surroundings.

The limestone walls are covered in mosses and lichens, while fungi thrive on the floor, their caps a riot of colors against the dull gray stone. As I make my way around the perimeter of the chamber, my fingers trail along slick, cool surfaces, leaving me to wonder what secrets this place may hold.

My eyes are drawn to the still, dark-green pond at the heart of the room. A thin stream of water emerges from one corner, disappearing into a yawning chasm just large enough for human passage. The once clear waters have been tainted by a layer of scum, reminiscent of thick, stagnant algae. Each ripple sends shivers down my spine as I consider the secrets hidden beneath its deceptively calm surface.

As I ponder my next move, I am presented with three options: examine a crack in the room, head back to the 4-way intersection, or inspect the edge of the pond. It's times like these that I wish I had a trusty sidekick to help me make these difficult decisions.

Decisions, decisions...
