Ominous and mystical, this cave is comprised of a hundred thousand skulls collected from fallen soldiers, kings, and robbers who have tried to steal from its hidden treasures.  Walking into the cave one may notice a vivid sheen of sparkling dots peppering the floor and walls and skulls, like little stars.  These stars are solid chunks of pure gold, diamond, and amethyst which the Oracle uses to construct her various fortune-telling devices.

I find predators in the garden. I am usually ugly and bark a lot. I do not like other animals.
Yes, I shall hunt any predators that even think about attacking you! Good boy. You truly are my best friend. And you are my best friend!  My bestest friend!  My best, best friend! I love you so dang much. And I, you! Alright before we explore this cave. We must keep our focus. Oooh look, a skull! Oh my. Be careful, boy, Just in case Who do you think it was?  Can we use it?  If we can't use it, can I bury it in your herb garden when we get home? We can use it, but as far as who it belongs to... your guess is as good as mine, boy. I wanted if this person tried exploring the cave like we're doing now... And could this be his armour? You're finding everything right now, boy. Good job. This probably is indeed his armor. How fascinating.
