Dripstone Cave

Overview
Dripstone Cave can be accessed by exploring the well located in Cassardis. It is infested with Rats and Saurians. It is advised not to delve into the Cave early in the game without the proper equipment, skills and curatives as Saurians have tough hides and will deal great damage to low-leveled parties.

Once you have cleared out the cave of Saurians (both times), the cave becomes a useful shortcut for travellers making the trip between Gran Soren and Cassardis, since there are few enemies, the walk is short, and you will wind up right inside Cassardis.

Also of note, a small area can be found deep within the cave known as Brightwater Cove which becomes accessible when accepting the quest Deeper Trouble.
