This was a silly idea.
After some thoroughly uninteresting trotting, you find yourself in a small chamber. It holds some kind of machine with a half-open control panel, a mysterious chest with a padlock, and some weird stupid toast-dropping game or something.
You regard all this with an air of dapper dignity.
It doesn’t help you decide which way to go, but it does afford you a level of dignity as you ponder your decision.
As you descend the implausibly-angled stone steps, you notice that there appear to be strange words scratched into the walls.
Off in the distance, you hear a curious humming noise.
Presently, you come across two passageways, each identical in creepiness.
The left passage appears to continue downwards, while the right passage appears to lead upwards.
What will you do?
