## Description

Level 8, or Cave Caverns, as the name suggests this level is a large expanse of a cave. The entire level is as dark as Level 6 aside from a few torches scattered around Level 8. Puddles of Almond Water are present on this level. Still, they are not edible in any way, as when one drinks the Almond Water on this level, they will experience diarrhea, vomiting, or in some extreme cases, death. Additionally, if one jumps into this Almond Water they will break out in hives, and get rash; if one decides to stay in this Almond Water for too long it might lead to death.

Due to Level 8's expanse all noise emitted on Level 8 is echoey and noisy. Moreover, pieces of the cave commonly break off and hit the ground; a wanderer can get seriously injured, or killed by the pieces. Many wanderers who end in Level 8 don't make it out of the level alive, because of the previously mentioned dangers, and entities in this level.

Level 8 was discovered on February 26th, 1764, when a couple of unknown wanderers were exploring Level 7, and while they were at the bottom they found a cave with a yellow glow coming from it. When they entered Level 8, they started exploring the level, and that is all we know, we don't know if they made it out, or not.

DO NOT SET A BASE OR OUTPOST ON LEVEL 8. IF YOU ARE, CHOOSE A WISE SPOT, OTHERWISE YOUR OUTPOST IS UNLIKELY TO SURVIVE FOR LONG.
