#¨¨#¨#¨#¨# 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   #¨#¨#¨#¨#¨
#¨¨#¨#¨#¨#    might not be physically connected.    #¨#¨#¨#¨#¨
#¨##¨#¨#¨#     that's what you're inviting in.      #¨#¨#¨#¨#¨

#¨¨#¨#¨#¨#    hide unsightly appliances, engines,   #¨#¨#¨#¨#¨

#¨¨#¨#¨#¨#  to hide the true weight (purpose?) of a #¨#¨#¨#¨#¨

#¨¨#¨#¨#¨#   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  #¨#¨#¨#¨#¨
