##¶§*†^~^¨  environment where you could find such   ¨^~^†*§¶##
#¶§*†^~^¨¨  things as the furnace, the labyrinth,   ¨¨^~^†*§¶#

##¶§*†^~^¨  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    ¨¨^~^†*§¶#

#¶§*†^~^¨¨   less intense... made to store things   ¨¨^~^†*§¶#
##¶§*†^~^¨    (food or brews, tools) in a colder    ¨^~^†*§¶##
#¶§*†^~^¨¨ environment. perhaps to grow mushrooms.  ¨¨^~^†*§¶#
