The Entrance to the Cave

You stand before the entrance to the Beginner's Cave, an ominous tunnel carved into the hillside. The faint smell of damp earth and mildew wafts out. A wooden sign hangs crookedly near the entrance, reading: "Adventurers beware! Treasures and perils await within!"

The cave entrance yawns before you. The flickering light of your torch reveals a rough-hewn path leading deeper into darkness.

Enter cave

You take a deep breath and step into the Beginner's Cave. The air grows cooler, and the flickering light of your torch casts dancing shadows on the damp stone walls. The faint sound of dripping water echoes in the distance.

The tunnel splits ahead into two passages:

• To the left, you hear the soft rustling of movement, like something shifting in the dark.
• To the right, the air smells faintly of smoke, and the walls are marked with blackened streaks.

What would you like to do?

• Take the left passage
• Take the right passage
• Stop and listen carefully
• Check your inventory

Left

You cautiously turn left, gripping your weapon tightly as you follow the faint rustling sound. The passage narrows, forcing you to tread carefully. The noise grows louder, and soon your torchlight reveals a small cavern.

Inside, you see a pile of old, tattered cloth and bones scattered across the floor. Suddenly, a giant rat scurries out from the shadows, baring its teeth! Its fur is matted, and its eyes gleam with hunger. Battle Begins! Giant Rat: HP 10/10 Your HP: 20/20 What would you like to do?
