A not-totally-realistic but nonetheless entertaining adventure into the depths. It read a lot like a D&D adventure into the Underdark - don't worry too much about how it's all meant to work, just sit back and enjoy the journey.

Content Warnings

Graphic: Confinement and Abandonment

Moderate: Suicidal thoughts and Injury/Injury detail

Minor: Sexism

Period-typical sexism in the protagonist's stereotypes of women ("emotional", "impossible to understand", etc).

The protagonist faces all the fears you could imagine underground: the risks of getting lost, trapped, separated from his companions, left without light, etc. But don't worry, it all ends happily.
