(L1) The jagged cave entrance in the side of the mountain resembles a yawning maw. Warped stalactites droop at odd angles like monstrous fangs. A shallow stream of thin, gray liquid dribbles from the hole. Inside the cave, darkness awaits.
(L2) The corpses of recently fallen human soldiers bearing fine weapons and well-oiled armor lie scattered about this musty cavern. (DC12 Investigation:)
You notice a thick layer of powdery residue has settled across the scene, suggesting the remains have possibly been here for years. If you want to further investigate the bodies, make an Arcana or Medicine check.
Davis observes that the bodies are exceptionally well-preserved even though they seem to have been here for years. He deduces that the Mournland’s magic must have preserved their bodies. The armor and swords are exceptional, also.
Vesta determines that the white powder is actually a residue from the thin, gray liquid running in rivulets through the cave.
You can follow the stream north into a tunnel, or take a passage to the east. (Map)

"I see a lot of fine powder on those bodies. Like they've been there a while. Even though they look recent," Vanizi tells the others.

Davis shrugs his shoulders at Vanizi comment, not really noticing the dust.
He does check out the bodies. Medicine 18 [used lucky]
"Oh hey is kinda dark in here, maybe I should get a light okay?" Zyl begins to fumble about for a torch.
Vesta kneels down to examine the bodies as well. She wonders what caused their deaths.

"Anyone know what that grey stuff might be?" Vanizi asks. She has no idea. "I guess if we follow the liquid its source might tell us?"

"Agreed" Davis says, and will start to follow the stream.
The party follows the thin stream to the north, seeing another natural passage to the east and a passage winding up and to the west. (map)

"Well," Vanizi says, "might as well keep following the grey liquid until the path ends?"
