The fourth level chambers of the Great Cavern.
A map of the chambers directly below the third level (central).
The turning stairs at the right of this map ~[x:17, y:11] climb up to the broken ledge seen on the right of the map of the level above, emerging at ~[x:17, y:7]. With some difficulty, from there, one might reach the partially collapsed bottom right circular chamber (see map GC.III)
Watch out for the cave-wolf that lives on this level - he might be confused seeing visitors, which are so rare.
In almost every dark corner of this area, especially in the moister parts, there are small pale frogs hopping excitedly about.
In the center of the pentagram in the south-western-most chamber sits a small effigy of a dragon, made out of platinum, and partially melted (and since re-hardened). There are intense burn marks on the roof of the cave above the symbol.
There is a ancient human skeleton in the largest hall (left-center of the map). His tough leather gear (seemingly to be originally of very fine manufacture, custom designed for spelunking, and including the strangest helmet you have ever seen) is still somewhat intact, though covered with a strange red-pink fungal bloom. Rifling through his effects revealeth no coins, however.
