Foul smelling, musty passageways suggest abandonment and unfamiliarity. Flaming torches provide unreliable light in the lack of electricity, creating an unreliable sense of direction.

    Phrase

    Meaning
    Effect

    2.

    a) Rebounded off the walls.


    The sound echoes. Empty and large place.
    Creates eerie atmosphere because echoes are typically a sign of isolation.

    Foul smelling passageways


    Musty. The passageway has been abandoned and locked away without air circulation.
    Unknown source of mustiness creating a sense of unfamiliarity.

    Flaming torches
    Old fashioned way of light, not modern because of the lack of electricity use. Low light.
    Apart from giving light, the torches give a sense of unreliable direction.

    b) The fork
    A path split in three.
    Since the flaming torches give a sense of direction, the fork acts as an obstacle where
    the character must make a decision of uncertainty.

    Mist
    A haze caused cold weather.
    Effect on visibility giving a sense of strangeness or unfamiliarity.

    c) A world that few see, but a world which sees many.


    A hidden society watching over the outside world. Like the cavern is observing their
    every move like a stalker, but they cannot see them.
