A tunnel entrance.
You pull the beam laser out of the sack and put it in your backpack. You are just about to move away when you notice that there is what looks like a tunnel entrance hidden behind the sack. You lie down on your stomach and using your arms to pull yourself along you wriggle into the tunnel.
It is dark and damp inside the tunnel and the air is heavy with the smell of wet soil. Your clothes become heavy with mud and make it harder to pull yourself along the tunnel. You continue along the cold, wet tunnel until you arrive at a junction. There are two paths. One leads steeply upwards while the other leads steeply downwards.
You think it would be nice to go downhill for a while, but the prospect of slipping in the wet mud and sliding downwards unable to stop for ages, isn’t pleasant.
Do you:
