| The caves
are winding and natural,
twisting deeper and deeper into the cliffs. They eventually come together in a large square room, 50 feet on a side and 10 feet high. The room is dusty and dirty, and in the northwest corner are two 10-foot long by 2-foot wide strips of bark or hidelike material which give off an odor <Odor Detection, DSG> resembling spoiled meat. There is a 10- foot wide passageway of cut stone leading out of the center of the south wall. |
If the 2 pieces of hide are examined
closely, they appear to be strong and flexible.
Also, the undersides of the strips are
scored deeply, and crystals of a salt-like
substance
are in the grooves. This material is
perfectly normal salt from the slide
(area 1).
