Find a new source of light...This candle is almost out...
[4] You can't remember where the lights come from. You stare at it as it dims, and finally winks out, leaving you in total darkness. [2] You stumble in the dark, and bang your leg against a sharp rock. Blood gushes from the wound. You will die from your injuries.
Examine what are the chains bound to.
[1] You look down at your chains. Suddenly lights flare behind your eyes and you fall over. You wake up some time later, head pounding. Partly because of your inexplicable fainting, partly because you are being dragged through the tunnels by your chains, and the back of your head has been dragging along the rocky floor for some time. You can hear a ghastly scraping noise, which, you suppose, must be your bare skull against the rock.
Thinking about the injury causes the pain to register. It is terrible. You are reminded that there is no way to escape. You will probably die from your injuries.
Look around and try to figure out my surrounding.
[7] You look around. A wave of nausea hits you, but you hold onto the wall until it stops.
You are in a rocky tunnel, dimly illuminated by red lights. The floor is covered in dust and loose rock. Metal rails jut up through the dust, clanking occasionally. [9] There are four rails; two in the center carry the carts back and fourth. The other two hold the chains. You try to examine the connection between the chains and the track, but the nausea returns, more violently, and you give up.
Grab a crystal from a nearby cart and examine that.
[10] You grab a crystal from a cart. The cart shudders and stops, wheels screeching against the tracks, fighting some unseen force.
[6] The crystal is just like all the others. A glassy shard, which appears red beneath the lights. You have no idea what its true colour is.
I'll go to six, so still plenty of space left, yeah. No worries. Even more in the event of
INEVITABLE fatalities.
