> [@gotpasswords](#): > > Gotta watch out for that Amontillado… True dat. It’s starting to come back to me now. Just before drifting off I recall a beard in my earhole whispering “Have Some Madeira, M’Dear” so whatever fate befell me I’m pretty sure I’m not bricked up in here for good. And no, I don’t have a rope, a 10 foot pole, or a disposable halfling thief (the widom and utility of which was recognized as far back as 1937). All is not lost, though. I’ve found a feather boa and some nice moisturizing lotion here in my cell. I just wish I had some more room. I’ll start pulling at some bricks… ---

But of course you found a boa, what with being in a constricting place and all. The feathers are a bit of an evolutionary puzzle… ---

Well the lotion is all gone now (what…I got bored.) but lucky for me the brickwork is very old and I managed to pick a hole in the wall and have been walking along a darkened corridor for several hours now. It’s still very cold & humid, and my clothes are all damp. This is really weird. I have no idea where I am and there si something about this place that just feels abandoned and incredibly old. ---

Don’t feed the trolls… If possible, also avoid being fed to the trolls or the trolls eating you on their own accord. ---

Resignation. I’ve been wandering this dungeon for 3 days now, and am starting the 4th. My battery’s about dead, I’m really hungry (feather boas aren’t very satisfying), and as near as I can tell this corridor is just a big circle because I’ve passed by my hole-in-the-wall cell a few times. I had hoped to find a wandering monster, trapdoor, or even a drainhole–something to assure me there is a way out of here, but it looks like I’m truly screwed. ---
