  Apparently a hiding place for the treasures the Hydra has stolen from
over the land, this small cave has been hollowed out beneath his lair and
protected with faerie magic.  A soft trickle of water somewhere on the east
wall shows that this cave is not that well-built (a side-effect of
faerie magic is that it must be continually renewed).

  Semp Lane is on the outskirts of Xaventry, far away from the town center.
As a result, not a lot of traffic goes down this road, except for the
occasional resident of Vandyne.  Houses of Vandyne followers decorate this
path in an orderly way.  Each house on this road appears to be identical to
that of the one next to it.
