The bartender leans in, eyes narrowing. “You’ve got questions, don’t you?” he says, voice low and gravelly. “Follow me.” Without another word, he slips through a narrow door behind the bar. You hesitate, then follow. [[Follow him|TunnelEntrance]]

The warmth of the tavern fades as you step into the back. The air grows cooler, and the light dims. You pass rows of old barrels stacked against the walls, their wood swollen with age and the scent of stale ale. Cobwebs cling to the corners, and your boots crunch softly on the dusty stone floor. At the end of the corridor, the bartender stops beside a heavy wooden door, slightly ajar. Beyond it, a tunnel stretches into darkness, lit only by the faintest glimmer of torchlight. He glances back at you. “What you’re about to see… changes everything.” **To be continued.**

<img src="https://i.postimg.cc/rw7YTPtC/beatup-stickfigure.jpg" alt="Beat Up Stick Figure" style="width:400px; display:block; margin:auto; margin-top:20px;" /> You shake your head and politely decline the drink. The bartender’s smile fades. The room falls silent. Every patron in the tavern turns to look at you, their expressions hardening. “You don’t trust my hospitality?” the bartender growls. Before you can respond, a heavy mug crashes into the back of your head. You stumble, dazed, as the crowd closes in. Bludgeons, Bottles, Boots, from every direction. The last thing you hear is the bartender muttering, “Should’ve just taken the drink.” **You have died.** [[Game Over!| Game Over]]
