The ground is raised 3-5ft and is covered in well trodden and pulverized stone, left as if in a mud-like state to dry and by now frozen in place in its desiccated form. The passage is nearly blocked but passable with a short climb. Large clawed footprints several feet across overlap and crisscross all over the floor amid and mixed with heaps of rubble from partially collapsed shafts. Rubble lines the walls of this room. Bones appear to be sticking out of certain spots, the remains of ancient corpses perhaps. It's hard to tell from Alice's point of view.

We're trying to resolve the pathfinder 1e and 2e with DnD 5e for the sake of what works best for everything but your characters because 5e is a mess after level 5, 2e is a mess after level 5, and 1e is a mess all the time. Making it simple is exactly what I'm trying to do while you all just give a simple input like move and attack, I have to run numbers and figure everything out and keep track of everything for hours to accommodate those simple inputs and all the monster moves.
So that's not going to be happening in the future, especially level 5 and up, which is why we're working on making it simpler.

As long as nothing obvious is missing, it's fine. As Tamamo said, not that we can even reproduce what's going on.

Mrs. B quickly passes Alice into the darkening tunnel, taking advantage of Ashley's Truesight to see what there is to see.Alice is disappointed because of the dead end, but relieved the cat finally does some useful work
Well there you go! You're much better at this then me! So help us out a bit pls! I'll pet you even longer later! Especially your ears!
Alice returns and reports.
Shall I keep the ring for this job - or do you want it back now?
Ashley thinks aloud, "Now, I wonder what these gophers eat? I don't see any roots down here."What did the giant snake and octopus live from? Tiny blind fish? I think they're monsters who manifest out of mana in this cursed place. Same probably goes for whatever dug this tunnels. Unless it can survive on ore or something? No ordinary living thing can, not even me...
Following Yulya's order, Alice goes to scout in the tunnel North.
Let's move to where Cat left the light together, I'll scout further from there!
Alice takes a peek North into the tunnel the creature dug and if it's clear moves then Northwards in the human-made tunnel to peek around the corner.

I did not want to go as far as cutting your share and create more drama...
But dead people have little use for treasure - even your body will eventually be claimed by the gods if you take too much damage. So let us please work together to get out of here alive. Let us move back to the westernmost passage to the north!
Yulya recalls Alice and moves her party to explore further North.
Please continue to scout ahead with Mrs. Bigglesworth!
