Kavnil's Jounal

Weeks have gone by and things have only gotten worse. My new friend Eleanor Elsa keeps asking me about Yodah. I can never tell her what has happened to me and how I became a Lugian. This I must never tell anyone. We talked a lot about the possibility of peace in all the land of Dereth. I keep checking for some kind of relief from the fire storm but it keeps pounding us harder every day. The sky is black red and green and the fire is coming from the sky and up from the ground now. We had a bad ground shake last week it almost feels like we are moving. Fire rock flowed into the cave and flooded the entrance chamber where our camp was. We moved the camp deeper into the cave. We have mapped a lot of the passages and chambers while hunting but have only found one good pool of water. We eat lots of fungi that grow on the walls and rocks in the cave and some carenzi we find once in a while. What I wouldn't give for a mosswart right now. Firewood is almost impossible to find so we moved our camp further in. We are hoping to find another entrance so we can get out of here now that the fire rock has closed where I came in. For the last 3 days we have been going on long scouting trips to map and try to find a way out of here. Lots of dead ends and empty chambers. Eleanor Elsa has done a great job keeping and updating the maps.

Tomorrow we are going into a deeper passage to the south and are taking enough supplies to last 3 days. Now I need to get some sleep.
