  > Go downwards
  You carefully climb down the hole into darkness. It goes straight down for at least 100 feet; luckily it is pretty rough and there are many handholds and places to position your feet. Finally, you drop down into a room below.
  
  You have entered a grotto made entirely of some type of gleaming red-tinted crystal. The crystal achieves the effect of appearing both natural and crafted. Floors, ceiling, and walls all smoothly blend together. The light from your flashlight is reflected back to you both from the direction you are pointing it and from other parts of the room, as gleams of red light seem to travel through the crystal to emerge elsewhere.
  
  The overall effect is quite beautiful.
  
  A hole in the ceiling, just reachable, leads up. To the south, the crystal slowly turns into some type of grey stone and becomes a tunnel.
  
  > Go south
  Long Tunnel (1)
  This is a long tunnel leading north and south. It has definitely
  been purposefully made, being tiled with crafted stone. It looks like something that would have been created centuries ago. You can see the Red Crystal Grotto to the north, and a side corridor leads off to the east.
  
  > go to the east
  This room, tiled with the same stone as the long tunnel, smells a
  bit dank. Moisture must get in here somewhere. The room appears to be a cell block, mainly because there are jail cells with entrances on the northern, eastern, and southern walls. The exit is to the west.
  
  The northern cell appears to be completely filled up by something massive.
  
  > Go north
  The northern cell is completely filled with ice. You can't enter it.
  
  > examine the ice
  The ice completely fills the northern cell. It feels cold and slick to the touch, but does not appear to be melting. Something is frozen in the center of the ice, a human figure. As you continue to peer through the frozen mass, you realize with a shiver that it looks a lot like John.
  
  > look at John
  John appears to be frozen in the center of the ice in the northern cell. You are worried about his health.
  
  > go east
  You are in a non-descript 10 x 10 room of tiled stone. It has the appearances of a cell, but has no door. There is an exit to the west.
  
  > go west
  As you try to move west through the exit, you feel as though you are pushing yourself through thick molasses. It takes quite a bit of effort and no small amount of time to get yourself back out into the cell block.

  > go west
  Long Tunnel (1)
  This is a long tunnel leading north and south. It has definitely
  been purposefully made, being tiled with crafted stone. It looks like something that would have been created centuries ago. You can see the Red Crystal Grotto to the north, and a side corridor leads off to the east.
  
  > Go south
  Long Tunnel (2)
  The long tunnel continues to lead north and south. The same tiling
  is present here as in the rest of the tunnel. A side corridor leads off to the west.
  
  > Go south
  Long Tunnel (3)
  The long tunnel continues to lead both north and south. The carefully-crafted stone tile appears to be a darker grey here. Your way to the south appears to be blocked by a deep pit, but there is a side corridor leading off to the east.
  
  > Go west
  This is a side corridor leading east and west. It is somewhat
  smaller than the long tunnel, which lies to the east. An archway lies to the west. You can't put your finger on it, but you have a very strange feeling about that archway.
  
  > look at the archway
  The archway is made of the same tiled stone as the rest of the construction seems to be made of. Shining your light through the archway reveals the dim outline of a room with a safe in the wall beyond it.
  
  There is something that you can't put your finger on about the archway that bothers you.
  
  > Go west
  As you are moving through the archway, you hear a sound much like that of breaking glass, and you suddenly become very disoriented. When you regain your senses a moment later, you are not where you thought you would be.
  
  You are in a non-descript 10 x 10 room of tiled stone. It has the appearances of a cell, but has no door. There is an exit to the west.
  
  There is a loud and horrible rushing noise in your ears, and the room appears to be filling up with what you would describe as steam if it were not so very very cold.
  
  > Go west
  You frantically try to push out of the room, but moving through the doorway is like trying to push through thick molasses.
  
  Your flesh feels like leather and your eyes like glass as a huge block of ice forms around you. Mysteriously you are not killed outright by this; instead you fall into a deep sleep. Unfortunately, within a few days without food you expire anyway.
  
  > look at the pit
  You can just make out the bottom of the pit with your flashlight; the floor is covered with sharp spikes pointing upwards. This is not something you want to fall into. The pit is pretty far across, too. Jumping it would be chancy, and you'd probably want to be carrying as little as possible.
  
  > Go east
  The walls here are made of a mixture of stone and steel. The room
  is completely dominated by a large metal vault whose door is almost the entire east wall. Light illuminates this room, but you can't tell where it is coming from. You can exit back to the long tunnel to the west.
  You see a thin rod here.
  
  > get the rod
  You've already got your hands full.
  
  > examine it
  This thin rod is made of some indeterminite material and is black in color. It looks like a magician's wand. A word is written in a fancy looking script on the rod's side.
  
  > examine the door
  It is made of steel, and probably about three feet thick. There are three dials on the vault door, each one is notated with numbers ranging from 1 to 36. Some quick mental arithmetic tells you that means over 45,000 combinations. Who knows? Maybe you'll get a hunch.
  
  > Inventory
  You have a handwritten letter, a typed letter, a big pan, a flashlight (providing light), a crystal card, a picture, a modem, a book, and a board. The flashlight seems to contain a battery.
  
  > put all in pan
  handwritten letter: You can't put anything into the big pan.
  typed letter: You can't put anything into the big pan.
  big pan: You can't put the big pan in itself!
  flashlight: You can't put anything into the big pan.
  crystal card: You can't put anything into the big pan.
  picture: You can't put anything into the big pan.
  modem: You can't put anything into the big pan.
  book: You can't put anything into the big pan.
  board: You can't put anything into the big pan.
  
  > drop the board
  Dropped.
  
  > Wave wand
  As you wave the thin rod, blue sparkles appear in the air around it. The rod itself is glowing with a soft blue light.
