The EARTH story - May 7, 1372
On May 7th you awaken and continue exploring the large cave area. It measures about one by two miles, oriented northwest-southeast, and is now deserted. You find three exits from it: all are 20' wide passages. One heads northwest, the second heads west and the last goes southwest.
Jo-owrn suggests exploring the latter passage, so back into the border ethereal after lunch you go.
After about 2 1/2 miles, the passage turns west. You camp for the night soon thereafter, to continue on the next morning.
