You have finally reached the base of the mountain, where the Ghering
Caverns are located.  The ground here is very rocky, making for treacherous
travel.  There is a boulder just ahead of you that appears to be covering an
opening.  Maybe you can open it if you try.  It might be the entrance to the
caverns, which are supposed to be in the base of the mountains.
