Covering the floor of the north tunnel are myriad tiny animal tracks. Rats, mice, worms, and snakes—denizens common to every subterranean lair—have all left their mark upon the grime-encrusted flagstones. But the east tunnel bears no such markings. There the ground is smooth and undisturbed: not even a film of dust discolours the grey stone floor. Your senses warn you that this tunnel is more than it seems.

If you now wish to enter the east tunnel, turn to 101.

If you decide to take the north tunnel, turn to 187.
