The party heads down the Eastern tunnel. The faint breeze can be felt, almost pushing you deeper into the tunnels of Cynosure. The walls of the tunnel are extremely smooth, it would take a superb group of craftspersons to dig out a tunnel with the precision that this tunnel was dug with. The tunnel starts to slant slightly downward and curve to the right. It continues on for quite a while, and maybe 15 minutes of walking pass until the passage straightens out again. It has probably looped back and under itself by now, but with the gradual descent and turning, it is hard to tell for sure.
Up ahead on the right (or southern) side of the tunnel, a scar in the side of the rock wall can be seen. A passage has been carved perpendicular to the tunnel you are in. The passage is about the same height and width as this tunnel, but while this main tunnel is smooth, the branching passageway is roughly hewn, and tool marks are evident. It continues off for a foot or so, until a wall of debris blocks it. Neatly stacked rocks, wood, plaster, cloth, and other materials fills the passage to the ceiling.
It looks like someone tried to close up this passageway.
Near the floor there is a hole carved in the wall of debris, big enough for a small humanoid to fit through, but not for anyone larger to pass easily. Peering down the small tunnel in the wall of garbage, it is obvious that there is a large chamber on the other side, at least 15 feet across, although not much more can be gleaned without entering.
The smooth tunnel you are traveling in continues straight on into darkness up ahead.

Nothing out of the ordinary can be seen with your spot checks (if you didn't roll, I am assuming you just took 10).
Nothing out of the ordinary can be heard with your listen checks (same thing about taking 10).
15 minutes have passed since you entered the tunnels. I believe that means that 35 minutes remain on both the light spell that Tahazu cast and the Resist Energy that Magiz cast.
