This is a passageway leading deeper into the Ghering Caverns.  The walls
here are mostly lichen-covered stone with patches of earth.  The floor is
stone with some fallen rock scattered here and there.  The lichen on the
walls serves to light your way.  There are cave-dwelling animals scurrying
about.  The sound of splashing water is very close by, to the immediate east
in fact.  The passage continues uphill to the east or downhill to the west. 
The air is cool and moist here.  
A huge albino rat is slinking about here.
A gaudily dressed gypsy is here predicting the future.
A gypsy says, 'I forsee a great sadness that shall befall you.'
