you is on a solo expedition into an uncharted cavern
Opening
Date: May 9th. Depth: 0 Meters Location: Cavern Mouth I have finally reached the mouth of this unexplored cavern. Unexplored is a misnomer, but mouth seems all too apt. This cavern has swallowed up every man who has set out to map it. We are too far from civilization for any rescue efforts, whose who disappear are simply mourned and remembered not recovered. Many have explored this place, but they took their discoveries into the abyss before we could ever hear of them. I have made camp at the edge of the cavern mouth and spent the evening checking and rechecking my supplies. Ammunition is packed in watertight leather pouches, chemical lights in their glass enclosures, rope tightly wound, food and medicine neatly packaged. The supplies are all ready for tomorrow. The only thing left is to make ready is myself. This descent offers untold adventure and and untold peril, a final journey from which none have returned. Perhaps I will never return either.
