| 368 From somewhere ahead you hear a clear argument in progress and the sounds of a struggle. It is enough to compel you forward. Following the dim lanterns you continue on down the tunnel, sword at the ready, eager to satisfy your curiosity and then return to the surface. The tunnel goes ever downwards, veering to the left and then again to the right, following some ancient vein of metal ore. Deeper and deeper you scramble, making your way quietly over a sloping floor of loose rock and discarded shoring timbers. After a hundred metres of long dim tunnel you come to a sharp right hand turn. Beyond the turn there must be a large fire burning, its flickering light illuminates this end of the tunnel with a bright reddish glare. The sounds of many voices can be heard beyond this bend. They are not human voices.
| If you would like to peer around the corner before retreating back up the passage, turn to section 376. If you now realise that it may not have been a good idea to come this far turn to section 402.
