Top down view of the caves. |
The above map shows some of the difficulties involved in finding the caves beneath the Castle. It is not that they don't exist, but the entrances are many and most lead to nothing in particular. Nor are those entrances easy to find.
Seen from the ground, there is merely limestone cliff rising steeply. Covered in trees and brambles, it is not inaccessible, but it is inhospitable. None of the openings are visible either from the top of the cliffs or from ground level. If one could fly, perhaps the chances would be greater - and indeed watching the nesting patterns of birds has so far offered the best clues to possible entrances.
If Walt Mukel ever fulfils his dreams of finding a useful entrance, he will be hard pressed to make any use of it. He has neither the skills, nor, if the truth be told, the inclination to go burrowing among the rocks. Such activity is far below his sense of self-worth. Paying the intrepid is one option, but he would need to be very sure he could trust such a group. After all, he has not spent the best part of his adult life looking for secrets to have them blabbed about by some random adventurer.
