Zone 1: Grayrock Cave

Grayrock Cave

When you enter Grayrock Cave it becomes apparent that this cave may have had human occupants before the monsters arrived; a big pile of bones is scattered in the first small tunnel and three bedrolls at b can be found inside the first large chamber. The bedrolls are placed atop of a plateau and you can jump easily to the other high plateaus, although it will net you nothing but a potion chest and several encounters with leveled monsters. Jump down from the plateaus and locate the eastern passageway and head through it to reach a small chamber with a chest and a bedroll at b guarded by two nearby foes. Head south and make your way to door C which leads to the second zone, Grayrock Shambles.
