The cave spanned in front of her. Adri could tell spiders had been here, but weren't currently there. Which made sense they had attacked up above, their rat holes would be opened up. That was the plan before the Fire God stopped giving them orders. She wanted Adri specifically to track down something underneath the ground. She had told Adri it would help in the coming days, but Adri felt this task should have been Peters, and she should have been the one helping people up above. But the Fire God was insistent and so she was underneath another planet going deeper into a spider's cave to find a nebulous "something."
The cave looked like the last one, started out as natural, blended into architecture. Though it was definitely older. Again Adri wished Peter was there so he could marvel at the lore she was seeing. Instead it just looked like old ruins to her, covered in spider webs and bones. Adri was on edge, but it seemed like none of the spiders were around, which definitely felt bad to Adri. As she went deeper and deeper she started to worry about being able to get back out. She hadn't exactly been marking a way out, and she'd gone down multiple passages, and different corridors, so if she had to run, she wouldn't be able to flee in a hurry or accurately out.
Eventually the older ruins, gave way to even older ruins, these ones coated in a slime that made Adri's stomach crawl. She could sense creatures in the dark down here that weren't spiders. Some kind of master behind the master. She wanted to flee, but knew this was what she had been sent for, and it was time to get to it. She got down to a black pool of acrid fluid. And that's when the voice boomed in her head.
"ENTER SERVANT OF THE FIRE GOD, ENTER TO YOUR DOOM!"
"So this is going to be one of those bad days."
