Description summary:
The description varies depending on the Airs of Godfall.

Airs of GodfallDescription
0 - 40The floor here bristles with [...] stubble. [...] drags at your feet as you try to move through it. [...] monks kicks through [...] too enthusiastically, [...] stone skipping down a cavern [...] bats within do not like to be disturbed, and they make their displeasure known.
41 - 80[...] 'The Penitent's Way', they call it – a crawlspace of a scant few inches. The rock itself seems to sweat here. In fact – are those pores?

The monks debate whether any will attempt [...] "There is not enough wine in the world," says one.

81 - 100You come to a round chamber pocked with shafts [...] The walls here are different – smooth, cartilaginous. Sounds echo [...] The zee. A waterfall's crash. The rhythmic whistling of air pumped up from below. And voices – quiet, distorted, and half-drowned.
101 - 140The passage ahead seems to swallow your torchlight. It takes you a moment to see them. Sorrow-spiders, packing the walls so tightly you can't see the stone beneath.
141 - 180This room is crammed with oenological paraphernalia. "The old fermentery," a monk offers. Here, the brothers would prepare their famous chartreuse before hauling it to Godfall's surface.
181 - 200You reach one of the monks' Shaping Chambers, the walls marbled with fat and amber. St Stalactite preaches a gospel of change. This is where they practice his rites.

The brothers […] joke […] But there's more than one contorted skeleton in this room.

201 - 240A side-cavern conceals a chaos of mechanical parts. These aren't remnants of the stalactite's previous occupants – someone has been collecting equipment and stashing it down here.
241 - 280There's an inchoate cry from behind you, then a scream. You turn to find a monk in the grip of an amber-form mass. It's nominally humanoid, but its body runs and pools like liquid. It has engulfed the monk's feet, and now draws in the rest of him.
281 - 300The walls here are a frantic scrawl – writing layered over writing in an incomprehensible lithographic palimpsest. A stone juts from the floor, riven with cracks. And from within – a hundred eyes, staring out.
301 - 366This deep in the stalactite, the walls no longer sweat amber. They exude it, rendering your path a qaugmire of transformation in potentia. You see no way around - you must cross the pool.
367 - 400St Stalactite has many faces. Not here. Here he has only mouths and grasping hands.
500The way forward from here is up, past the face of the saint, and to the island's surface.
