Get Out Before the Tunnel Collapses
Get Out Before the Tunnel Collapses
Read Aloud
The tunnel shudders as dust rains from the ceiling and a dull roar rolls up from the dark behind you. Cold water surges through the low passages, and ahead, your enemies scramble to brace the collapsing stone and slam a barricade into place. Every second tightens the trap. If you do not break through now, the flood will cut off your retreat and the tunnel will seal shut behind you.
