The First Adventure

Dougal suggests,"Let's stick to the left."

Dougal suggests,"Let's stick to the left."

A good suggestion, and he is the Man with the Lamp...

[ehiker133]

Dougal begins heading down the left path, lantern in one hand and sword in the other...

[acodispo]

Willie follows along, peering only a little nervously out into the darkness.

Turn 22 continues

The left fork leads to a small cavern with a passage to the southwest and a "tight squeeze" tunnel to the southeast. The floor is littered with rat droppings, and faint twittering sounds are heard from the southeastern squeeze.

The southwest passage is marked with bright chalk drawings (at the spot marked !!). They are a warning to unprepared Hobbetses: DUNGEON LEVEL 2

[mushgnome]

What next, Hobbet Heroes?

[acodispo]

Willie peers at the chalk markings & peers down the south-west passage a bit.

"Well, 'Dungeon Level 2' sounds very exciting! But isn't it proper to do a good job on the first level of something before you move on to the second? I think that's what me Mam always said.

"Maybe we should head back a bit and look at the north-west passage we passed up."

[ehiker133]

Dougal nods, "Agreed. Oh, wait... we've passed up two passages to the northwest. There was one just past the last secret door we went through and there is one right back there behind us." He points at the passage they just passed up. "Which one do you mean?"

[acodispo]

"Let's check the nearest one!"

[mushgnome]

Turn 22 ends

The northwestern tunnel is scrawled with even more ominous chalk markings: DUNGEON LEVEL 3!!!

Here's a list of unexplored areas:

• * Several tunnels leading south or southeast, at least some of which are rat-infested
  * A 30' drop leading to an unexplored area, near where you fought the ants
  * Northeast corner of the map, near the chasm and secret door, where you fought the spidergoat
