Hoping for a safe hiding spot, you crawl upwards. Whoever built this tunnel must have had a good reason… and to your relief, what starts as a slimy, web-covered passage broadens out.
Soon you are walking in a dry and well-constructed tunnel. From there, you come to a vaulted room where wagons are stored.
Safety! Moving to the entrance, you picture yourself spending the afternoon in an alehouse, planning your next move.
But then a guard with a rifle comes the door. It’s all that you can do to dart past him, and flee out into the street.
