ENTRY 235: You dash to the exit. Suddenly, the snow bank ahead stirs. A huge, warty man-like creature rises out of the snow. You skid to a stop in front of him.

You use the flint and your steel sword to create a spark over the torch, and soon you have light. Now you can see that the tunnel extends ahead of you as far as the light shines. You crawl through the endless tunnel for hours. Finally, a dim light shines ahead. You quickly scramble along the last section of the tunnel and break out into the chill, moonlit air. After a short rest, you begin the long trek down the mountain. Throughout the rest of the night and the next day, you wade through the deep snow. Often, you must hide in shallow caves or semi-frozen streams as strange creatures approach. Finally, hungry, tired, and nearly frozen, you see a town ahead.

Salamdros finds a cell holding a white, baboon-like creature behind the curtain. Upon examining the levers, you discover one of them opens the cage, and the other opens a trap door in the floor. Roderick finds a small chest, and you carefully open it. Inside, you find the Master's plan for attacking the village and five gems (200 gp each). There is nothing else in the room. As you examine the plans, Roderick says, "We must warn the towns. Let us go to the other exit and try our luck there." The three of you quickly go to the other doorway (use map KK). It opens into a small tunnel-like cave. The air is very cold, and ice and snow cover the floor. There is an exit on the other side of the room, partially blocked by a large snowdrift. As you near the drift, you see that it has been disturbed. by a large creature recently, but the creature is gone now. You walk through the exit and stand outside! The three of you trudge down the pass in brilliant sunshine for the rest of the day.

ENTRY 309: The two of you carefully peer behind the curtain and find a small tunnel-like chamber. Daylight shines through a small hole in the far end. You slowly walk across the icy floor, taking care not to fall. As you near the exit, you see the tracks of a large beast. Though you probe the snow drifts inside the doorway and search the entire room, you see no other signs of any creature. When you are certain this is not a trap, you leave the chamber and step outside. After escaping the caverns, you trudge down the mountainside. As you approach the pass, you see a narrow line of pack animals. and men struggling through the snow: a caravan! Each of you rush down the few remaining yards, stumbling and tripping as you go. Finally, you reach the sledges. The merchants quickly wrap you in thick furs and listen to your story.
