===The Darkling Caverns=== ''Underneath the dome of Caduceus is a warren of caverns. A labyrinth of caves, walled with slabs of volcanic black glass, burrow their way through the rock. A steady drum beat thrums through the walls, echoing from somewhere deeper.'' <big>'''Interactions'''</big> {| class='ss-table' style='width:100%;' !style='width:15%;'| Actions !style='width:30%;'| Requirements !style='width:40%;'| Effects !style='width:15%;'| Notes |- | {{effect title|Follow the beating of the drums}} <div>The sound is steady, like the pulsing of a heart.</div> | <ul> * [[File:caduceus icon.png|23px]] [[Rite of Prorrhesis]] β₯ 1 <span style='color:#C03060;'>[</span><span style='color:white;'>You are admitted into the mysteries of Caduceus</span><span style='color:#C03060;'>]</span><p></p> </ul> | <span style='color:white'>'''Circles and circles and circles again '''</span> <div>Following the sound leads you in what feels like circles. You travel between cave after cave, the tunnels narrowing like a throat as you go deeper. The drums sound on, a steady funerary beat. You are forced to cleave to a wall slick with dripping condensation, for the tunnel here has the width of a wicked king's spine. As you do, the drums cease for a moment, and you hear a sound like a finger tapping on glass. When you emerge from the thin cave, you find yourself in the large, wide cavern where you began.</div> <ul> </ul> | |- | {{effect title|Follow the Rose-Binders}} <div>Two Rose-Binders, a devil and a deviless, wait in the main cavern, their eyes like coals in the dark.

When you were first initiated, you heard it in the caverns. You follow the drum-beat deep into the dark, till the pounding shakes the cartilage in your skull. Your feet bleed; your ears bleed; your heart hammers desperately. In the deepest nook of Caduceus, you find a glass vessel; the size and shape of a gargantuan heart. Something alive trembles within. A talon taps against the glass; the ground shivers with each subsequent tap. Your feet dance involuntarily across the rock. Your body will remember the sequence; even as your mind revolts. The steps are the message, sounded in the dance-alphabet of the infernal. Eventually, the drumming stops.</div> <ul> * [[File:pan icon.png|23px]] [[Retrieve a Message from the Drummer]] = 10 <span style='color:#C03060;'>[</span><span style='color:white;'>[COMPLETE]You have learned the dance of the Drummer's beat.
