"What a queer little cave." She hesitates at the mouth. Not, of course, that she was afraid or otherwise reluctant to go in, but it was always best to be cautious before spelunking in unknown areas.

She is pleased to see a torch burning merrily on its stand ten paces down the path. Aside from being a source of light, it was reassuringly familiar. Mysterious caves always had torches, just as they always had hidden treasure, traps, and giant rolling boulders. It would have been a grave oversight for any one of these to be lacking.
