¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨  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   ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
.¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨   structure, it's just that all parts    ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨.

¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨    a cellar is a more senseful affair,   ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨

¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ environment. perhaps to grow mushrooms.  ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨  perhaps to bury corrupt creatures (not  ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
