Above a large fire hangs a cauldron filled with a thick, lumpy fish soup.
Do you
- Dig in?
- Ignore the food?
There is a lever on the wall here. It can be put into any one of 5 positions.
Which position do you want to try?
- Position 1
- Position 2
- Position 3
- Position 4
- Position 5
- None of them
You move the lever, but nothing happens.
On a small pedestal, you see a statue resembling a whale with a bearded human head — quite obviously a very naïve tribute to Swafnir. As you approach, the statue’s eyes start to shine with a soft blue glow and it speaks to you.
“Make a worthy sacrifice and I shall lead you safely to the treasure!”
“Take the right corridor to reach the treasure and the left corridor to reach Boron.” says the statue with the glowing eyes, after you made your sacrifice.
A narrow stairway leads up from here and with great care you quietly walk up. At the head of the stairs, there is a watch platform. Your caution has served you well as you have surprised the pirate lookout.
Suddenly, liquid fire shoots from the floor around you!
In numerous chests and barrels, on shelves and in cupboards, you see various nautical necessities. You do not see anything of immediate interest.
This is a storeroom containing only a variety of nautical items.
The cave opens out to a shallow bay here. Some paces away, a small row boat is bobbing gently in the waves. You could probably leave the cave with it if you want to.
Do you
- Leave the cave?
- Ignore the boat?
After a few minutes, you reach the open sea.
After a short time, the sea begins to churn and boil…
The sea is becoming incredibly rough. Your boat tosses and bucks, and you find yourselves in great danger of being swept overboard as it is gripped in the maelstrom. You sit helplessly as your boat is drawn in ever decreasing circles to the gaping maw of death. Finally, the water engulfs you whole and pulls you straight down to Davy Jones’ locker!
This chest contains 50 rations, which you immediately pilfer.
This chest contains 21 rations, which you immediately take for your own.

Cool air greets you on as you take leave of this place. After a short break, you continue your journey to [NAME].
