Cave. Who's afraid of the dark?

You turned and immediately began crawling down into the cave. Your eyes rapidly adjusted to the dark and you soon realized it was a tad of a mistake. It was too late to turn back and you immediately began sliding down the steep climb until your slide turned into a comedic tumble to your aggravation. After landing on your back, you quickly rose to your feet and got the bearing on your surroundings.

To your surprise, the cavern was more spacious than you thought it would be. It would certainly trigger the more claustrophobic of monsters but you didn't have to crouch and had enough side room stretch your arms out... somewhat. There were even some bioluminescent mushrooms around and giving the area some light.

The sound of running topside immediately drew your attention from the scenery. The goblins no doubt and it sounded like there were more than dozens of them... along with some of their larger, more dangerous cousins. They rushed right past the cave.

You releases a breath you didn't even release you were holding. That was one problem out of the way and but now you had another. You could try to scramble up but it may take a while with a few failures... at best, not to mention those goblins could come back around. Or you could follow the path before you and possibly find an alternate route and/or more trouble. You swore you heard eerie moaning and groaning coming from deeper in the cave.

Well...
