Chapter 007 - Catacombs Below
As noted by General Amamentena, you find four Maidens of Madura near the entrance to the catacombs, and they are present with food and water for the lot of you for three days. The entrance is roughly south of the city, in an area where the floor of the cavern has become significantly more uneven. The women seem uninterested in speaking with you, but note that they have been instructed to stay here and await your return for up to a week, should you actually return.
The actual opening into the catacombs, with the Maidens reluctantly show you, after some prodding, is at the bottom of a rough but wide set of stairs, much of the work seeming to speak of inexpert work done with inadequate tools. As usual, absent any light source, this area is pitch-black, and even infravision only shows very slight differences in temperature between the air and the stone here.
