| 387 Pulling Pallenten to a halt you dismount and begin a careful survey of the mine entrance. The fact that smoke is now steadily rising from the blackness within gives some indication that the mine is inhabited. The grass at the entrance reveals very little, it is trampled flat and there are signs of a large object, or possibly an animal having been dragged into the opening recently. Standing there at the entrance you can now also smell the distinct odours of meat cooking, and the unmistakable sounds of something heavy, moving ponderously in the darkness beyond. Backing up for a moment you stand silently, listening intently for any other clue as to what may lay within. Then quite distinctly you hear voices, distorted by distance but voices none the less.
| Do you still wish to enter? If you do turn to section 363. If you wish to remount Pallenten and go on your way, turn to section 400.
