The Earth Node

There is an Earth Node buried deep under the Barrow of the Forgotten King.
With the exercise of the right magical powers it can be used to teleport to the Great Grotto.
As the PCs approach the node, read:
The air seems to pulse ahead, bringing with it a scent like that which proceeds a storm.
When the PCs reach this point, read:
The roughly hewn tunnel widens into a terrace, at least 20 feet wide and long, with a ceiling rising to 8 or 10 feet. The porch has no far wall, instead opening into a great, echoing hollow. This close to the cavernous rift, the air seems charged as if a great storm is imminent. The walls of the opening acend and decend, moving
closer together as they rise into darkness, forming a wider space as they go downward. Three humanoid figures lie unmoving near where the terrace drops off into the hollow.
When the PCs reach the bottom of the node, read:
The hollow's smooth floor is roughly circular. The air here is alive with energy and thick with the smell of developing lightning. Small holes puncture the walls near the floor, opening into a dozen small tunnels thal run off into lightlessness. Dull dust is thickly heaped around the edges, thickest near the holes.
