##¨¨¨#¨###  environment where you could find such   ##¨¨¨¨#¨¨¨

##¨¨##¨#¨¨ often created in good faith, a basement  #¨¨#¨¨####
¨¨#¨#¨###¨   is nevertheless a way to bring a cave  ##¨##¨#¨¨¨
¨¨#####¨¨#    into your building, and cave things   #¨##¨###¨¨
¨¨#¨¨¨¨#¨#  with it. i've found that it's easier to ¨##¨##¨¨#¨
¨¨##¨¨¨###   think of all caves as the same large   ##¨##¨#¨##

¨#¨¨##¨¨¨#    hide unsightly appliances, engines,   ¨¨##¨¨¨#¨¨
¨##¨#¨#¨¨#  infrastructure (pipes and wells)... or  #¨#¨#¨¨##¨

#¨¨¨#¨¨¨¨¨   a cellar is a more senseful affair,    #¨¨###¨¨¨¨
##¨¨##¨¨¨¨   less intense... made to store things   ¨#¨#¨¨#¨¨¨
#¨#¨#¨#¨¨¨    (food or brews, tools) in a colder    ¨####¨##¨¨
########¨¨  environment. perhaps to grow mushrooms. ¨#¨¨¨##¨#¨
#¨¨¨¨¨¨¨#¨  perhaps to bury corrupt creatures (not  ¨##¨¨#¨###
