10 = "The cavern to the north has a high ceiling. It is strung, from floor to roof, with massive webs. They are being expanded, repaired, and lived in by hordes of spiders of all sizes. The multitude of arachnids ranges in size from tiny to as big as your head.";
11 = "As you approach, a band of aranea climbs down the walls. They don't attack, but they stand guard. Their pedipalps are raised in the air in a spell-casting pose, determined that you not enter.";
12 = "";
13 = "At the back of the cave, you find a dead Empire soldier, mummified in webs. His equipment was melted by the magical attacks of the aranea. On the other hand, his weapon survived. You also find a pouch of tarnished silver coins.";
14 = "";
15 = "";
16 = "There is a heavily guarded Empire guardpost ahead. The surface worlders have built a thick stone barricade. It is guarded by a mass of footmen, archers, and even a few snarling, twisted giants. Their barricade completely blocks this gallery. Sneaking past isn't an option.";
17 = "However, when they see you, they don't run to attack. Instead they watch your approach, curious about your purpose. You wonder what they are waiting for. The sign to the south did mention something about a blue pass.";
18 = "All of the guards at the outpost are dead. You will be able to pass freely now.";
19 = "";
20 = "You flee the outpost. Fortunately, you escape with your lives.";

22 = "You find an Empire supply cache. There are some barterable goods and a small cache of coins from the surface. There is also a bundle of javelins from the surface world.";
23 = "";
24 = "You encounter a group of Empire archers. They instantly recognize you as an Avernite. At first, it seems like they will leave you alone. Then, impulsively, they decide to use you for target practice. ";
25 = "Apparently, they've been drinking, and even Avernites with passes are subject to being slain when an Empire soldier feels like it.";

28 = "You find a small farmhouse tucked neatly in this small side cavern. A sign by the door reads: _Despain's fine goods. All who aren't hostile are welcome._";

34 = "You knock on the door. A minute later, it swings open. You are greeted by a small, jovial man with the ivory-pale skin of an Avernite. He shakes your hand warmly as you enter.";
35 = "_Welcome to my little shop,_ he says. _I am Despain, formerly of the Abyss. I run my happy little shop here. Anyone, no matter what side they're fighting for, may obtain the little goods that are so hard to find these days._ You decide to ignore this little bit of treason.";
36 = "He indicates a large case filled with all matter of flasks and tools. _If you wish to browse, feel free. I live to serve._";
37 = "";
38 = "You return to Despain's hut, and he welcomes you in. _Welcome back, friends,_ he says.";
39 = "As you browse his wares, you ask how he can survive out here despite the Empire troops. He smiles and says, _Well, let's just say that, if they were here instead of you and I didn't like their look? They wouldn't see my home._";
40 = "He cracks his knuckles. _And if they stumbled into it? They would soon have cause to regret it._";
41 = "";
42 = "This group of Empire soldiers approaches you. Only some of them are human. The rest of them are giants. Not ordinary giants. Huge, mutant giants, with skin like melted wax and sheets of metal painfully placed under their skin.";
43 = "The giants look at you hungrily. The soldiers debate about whether to hold them back. Finally, they say, _Show us a blue pass, worm, or you die where you stand._";
44 = "";
45 = "You try to bluff your way through. It doesn't work. They attack.";
46 = "";
47 = "They are very pleased that you are attacking them. It's really what they wanted all along.";
48 = "";
49 = "You show them your pass. They inspect it. They think for a while, weighing their orders to let people with blue passes by versus their strong desire to kill and loot you (humans) or eat you (giants).";
50 = "Finally, resigned to another boring day, they return your pass and wave you by. As you pass, one of them mutters, _Worms._ under his breath.";
