The Caves is a dark and rather dreary place to be in. It is excellent for a place to fight in a dungeon-type atmosphere. You'll find spiders, bats, and various gnolls who live in the connecting caves. It is roughly 3 levels high with ramps and pitfalls to get up and down. Most of the zone points are 2 bells at the camp on the bottom level, with the Down Below zone being a door behind a waterfall off to the side.
