Apart from the hole at the top of the cave, there was no other light, so the entire vast cave was actually very dark and damp. Now with the addition of thick smoke, Eric choked until he had to use wind magic to blow the thick smoke in the cave out through the passage.
Arthur boldly declared he would cook for Eric, but his current achievement was only an iron pot burnt/ruined because he couldn't start a fire for a long time and then angrily breathed a mouthful of dragon breath, plus a pile of un-dried firewood that emitted billowing green smoke when burned because of the water content...
It turned out the things Sam criticized were all true. Eric held his forehead helplessly.
