...gets, well, crushed. Yelling in pain, you chase after the running rat, as quickly as is consistent with mincing and minding your crushed shoulder.

You round the curve of the corridor just as the rat races past a stout milmwood door and disappears through a hole at the bottom of a second door. You push open the door and rush through.

Once through the door, you notice two things:
  • It's very dark;
  • There's no floor.

At least, not right underfoot, you have to fall 10 feet before you find it. You hit the bottom hard.

From his perch on the narrow ledge just below the door, the cunning rat hisses "mince your way out of that pit, McUbbfool." then scurries back through the hole under the door.

Bested by a mere rodent! You smite yourself a good one in the forehead with your striking hand, the sound of the slap echoing in the pit.

"That's got to hurt." A voice very near you in the pit says.

The witch introduces herself.

Uh oh. No one's written this branch yet. :o
