Our descent into Katabasis, the City Underground, continues.
The tenth level is known as 'The Mad Tea Party" and it strives to live up to its reputation. The locals certainly seem to enjoy their tea parties and one of the more popular draws for this level is the Children's Tea-Party. It can be found beyond the Bleeding-Hearts Cave, in a quiet little cavern resembliing a charming garden, including an artificial sun or moon, depending on the dictates and whims of the Tea Master. The attendees can enjoy a wide variety of pleasant and safe diversions, but note that adults are not permitted and any adult found on the grounds can expect, well, unpleasantness is the mildest term that comes to mind.
Other sites of note on this level include a Spatial Anomaly, near one of the exits. Unwary travelers have found themselves trapped within it, sometimes for days, and the nature of the anomaly changes quite frequently. The locals keep an eye on it, but don't interfere with it too much as it has proven useful in removing troublesome guests.
The Weeping Well and the Cavern of Masks are both interesting draws, and relatively safe, although the Well can be a bit depressing. For those of a more adventurous (or suicidal) temperment this level also contains a remnant of Madspace, the nature of which defies any kind of rational description. Enter it at your peril!
Also, there are two exits from this level. One near The Devil's Door and another in the northern area. Do not confuse either with the Gate of Blood & Madness! Sensible travelers will avoid that at all costs!
