The tunnel is very narrow and you have to crawl on your hands and knees. It slopes gently upwards, and as you continue, your body is squeezed tighter and tighter between the smooth stone walls. You feel that you must soon suffocate in the claustrophobic darkness. Then, finally and with great relief, you reach the end of the tunnel and pull yourself through, panting and sweating.

It is still pitch dark, but you are able to stand, and you sense that you are in some kind of cavern.

If you have a Torch and Tinderbox and wish to light the Torch in order to take a look around, turn to 35.

If you would rather exert 1 WILLPOWER point to create a small glow from your Wizard's Staff, turn to 46.

If you do not have either of these items, or do not wish to use them, turn to 59.
