Ash Newts

Recent tectonic activity has revealed a cave opening, deep within an already foreboding volcanic cavern. In an ancient system of volcanic tunnels, pressure and heat have caused the obsidian walls to crack into rubble and ash.

The walls bear ancient paintings of spiders, along with a long-forgotten runic language. Tiny grey creatures inhabit the tunnels, but a strange path of evolution warped by lava and ash have given them ample means to defend their territory if provoked. Explorers from Narak have ventured into the cave but are secretive about what they found.

Entrance off Fire Newts, 'climb west' from extreme west of level 2.
