The Shifting Burrows - One Shot

Are you tired of starting a campaign in a tavern? Do you want to jump straight into adventure? Then why not try dropping your players head first into the Shifting Burrows, literally. A magical network of mud tunnels just below the surface where the cavernous rooms and grass ceiling are constantly changing position, trapping many animal and adventurer alike. An ideal starter dungeon for low level parties.

The setup:

You are abruptly woken up by vibrations of the earth moving all around you. Rocks and dirt grind against each other to create a deep growl that shakes you to the core. You are lying on the floor, confused. As you lift yourself to your feet and look around the room, you find others passed out on the ground inside this dusty and muddy cave. Lightened by a few streaks of light shining down through the crack in the ceiling.
The last thing you remember is walking off the well ridden track in the thick fields, following a small creature of some kind. The next thing you know, you are in some sort of earthy cave surrounded by strangers. What is going on?

The Mechanics:

Rooms 1 to 6 (highlighted by the thicker black lines) change position in a clockwise motion as often as you like, but every 10 to 15 minutes in world time seems to work well. Rooms 7 to 10 do not change position.

You and the party have found yourself in the shifting burrows, a collection of tunnels just below the surface of the fields. Where the tunnels are enchanted with some kind of strange magic forcing the tunnels themselves to wriggle and move like the worms and insects that typically burrow here.
