Caves of the Wumpus

A strange mist rises to envelope you completely. The mist is very thick and impossible to see through. A strong wrenching sensation grips you and you feel your insides being tried into knots...

Just as suddenly as the feeling came it vanashes, and the surrounding mist clears to reveal...

9 : Lava Pit.

The cave you just entered is very hot. You can feel heat radiating from the floor and through your boots. In the middle of the cave you can see a pit from which blasts of hot air emerge. Looking into the pit, you find that under the cave is an even larger chamber filled with red hot bubbling lava. You back away from the pit hastily.

You feel your boots burning...

Other than that, the torch in your left hand is burning very brightly. In fact, it seems to be a completely new torch and likely to continue to burn strongly for a least a couple of hours.

You hear a distant bell toll, probably notifing the wumpus somewhere nearby of ``dinner''. You better find that exit quickly.

You are in cave 9: ``Lava Pit.'', and you are being hunted by the wumpus. Three passages are clearly signed with their destination.
