20 = "At long last, you reach the ultimate source of the massive plague that has tormented this region. It is a huge cavern. Its walls have been scratched by the flailing of huge tentacles, and the floor is covered with tiny droplets of gray goo.";
21 = "You don't notice many of the details, however. You're too busy looking at the master of the caves. It towers over you, keening in fury over the loss of its gelatinous children.";
22 = "It is a beast that seems truly alien to this world. It is twenty feet high, a writhing mass of tentacles, fibrous jelly, and eyestalks. A croaking roar, unlike any noise you've ever heard, comes from deep within.";
23 = "Spitting goo, muscular tentacles lashing, the master of the slimes sways back and forth, eager to have its revenge on you.";
24 = "The foul beast is surrounded by enchanted braziers. Their blue glow lends the creature power. Some of them have been extinguished, probably by the damage you have done elsewhere. As long as some of the braziers are lit, the creature will be more powerful in battle.";
25 = "";
26 = "All the evidence in these caves clearly points to one thing: the slimes didn't just migrate here by chance. They were placed here, and only something powerful and intelligent could have created them.";
27 = "The rune etched into the floor here is what would seem to be the final evidence of that. It's a mage's rune, a mark of ownership or creation, often placed by a wizard on a particularly good piece of work.";
28 = "You don't recognize the mark, but surely someone at Fort Emergence will. You make a quick drawing of it.";
29 = "";
30 = "";
31 = "";
32 = "After many battles and obstacles, you have finally reached one of your goals. This cavern contains one of the gigantic slime breeding goo towers. It was in pools like this that all of the slimes tormenting Krizsan Province were born.";
33 = "Even now, lumps are shifting and growing under its skin, soon to be spat out as vicious, mindless creatures ready to slay the innocents outside. The whole process is horrifying in its simplicity and automation.";
34 = "";
35 = "";
36 = "";
37 = "";
38 = "When you entered this chamber, the slimes were clustered tightly around this patch of elaborate tile, carved with runes. It glows with warm, friendly, regenerating energy.";
39 = "";
40 = "When you approach the rune, a weak, flickering magical barrier appears over it. You touch it, and your hand passes right through it. You walk through safely.";
41 = "";
42 = "";
43 = "";
44 = "At first, this merely seems to be another poor human victim, slain and encased in a thick layer of slime. Then, you see the body move slightly!";
45 = "Whoever this human is, it's alive! Something even left tiny airholes in its imprisoning goop. ";

47 = "";
48 = "";
49 = "";
50 = "You blast the slime tower into hundreds of tiny globules. The balls of goo twitch slightly, try to reform, and die. There is now one less slime factory in existence.";
51 = "You hear a distant rumbling. The ground shakes under your feet. You have disrupted the magic of this place. However, you can still hear the bubbling of evil goo, echoing from the tunnels around you. There must still be more to do here to end the plague.";
52 = "";
53 = "";
54 = "";
55 = "";
56 = "With a roar that seems to shake the entire cavern, the alien slime shakes and collapses. Almost immediately, it begins to decay, its body parts falling apart and decomposing into goo.";
57 = "The creature's death howl is echoed by other, smaller screams, reverberating throughout the tunnels. As their master goes, the slimes nearby follow. Hopefully, most, if not all, of the slimes elsewhere are dying too.";
58 = "The ground shudders under your feet. In the back of the slime's chamber, massive cracks appear in one of the walls.";
59 = "You stand, bloodied and battered, alone in the cavern. You have little doubt that Krizsan is now free of the slime menace. A great victory is yours.";
60 = "Yet the victory is unsatisfying. Somebody powerful must have created this place. The place is too cunningly designed to think otherwise. The question is who?";
61 = "This threat has been removed. However, if the creator, the source of the problem, is not discovered, the surface, your true home, may yet be destroyed.";
62 = "You hear a long, hideous keening noise behind you. Zombies are normally quiet creatures, but not these. The slime-infected bodies are rising from the ground. They wander around mindlessly, the slimes that fill their husks flailing around in their skin-shells.";
63 = "";
64 = "You get a closer look at one of the corpses. It has been infused with slime, slowly digesting and processing it. It's horrible. You shudder and back away.";
65 = "";
66 = "One of the glowing braziers in the back of the cave emits a flash of light. Motes of energy float through the air, charging up the monstrous slime beast.";
67 = "";
68 = "The slime monster is annoyed by one of the pests irritating it from a distance. It spits a giant blob of slime at one of you.";
69 = "";
70 = "The enraged slime monster grabs an enemy that is jabbing at it. Your warrior is flung against a wall and stuck to it by long stands of icky goo.";
