Feeling tired? That bench may be iron, but I assure you it's quite comfortable. There's no better place to collect your thoughts before heading below.

Plus I enjoy the company. Not that you seem the talkative sort.

Faring well in your adventures below? Well I had an adventure of my own while you were gone.

I don't usually visit the town's graveyard, but I thought I'd go and visit the grave of an old friend.

As I was walking amongst the tombstones, I noticed a strange kind of chanting coming from somewhere nearby, Extremely sinister chanting!

I looked around to find the source, and I saw two bright, horrible, huge eyes staring at me from the door of a dark cave!

I pretended I hadn't heard the voice or seen the eyes and scurried back to town. My friend will have to wait a little longer for her visit...

I hope you aren't too disappointed by our little town, traveller. Though it's now a solemn place, once we were much more welcoming.

Entry to the kingdom was forbidden long ago, supposedly after some great calamity. Many gates were closed, but our old well remains as a way to creep back in.

Over the years, all kinds used the well to wriggle into the ruins, wanderers, thieves, adventurers.

Funny how few ever come back up. Perhaps they find what they're looking for? ...

Bah, I'm not so naive. No doubt, they've all been gobbled up! There are countless dangers in those depths.

Did you see that tall cliff beyond the town's graveyard? That's only the base of a much larger peak.

There's mines and machinery and all sorts of valuable rock forms inside. Many a traveller through Dirtmouth headed straight for it.
