You step up to the frightened man and cleave the chain with your sword.  He drops to his knees and bows, thanking you over and over again.  He tells you that four years ago he entered the Trial of Champions but failed.  He fell down a pit and had to be rescued by a Trialmaster, one of Baron Sukumvit's dungeon administrators.  He was offered a choice between death or servitude in the dungeon as the Trialmaster's minion.  Choosing the latter, he worked like a slave until he could stand it no longer and tried to escape.  Alas, he was unsuccessful and was captured by the Trialmaster's wandering Orc guards.  To teach him a lesson, they cut off his hand and condemned him to a year's imprisonment in this cell.<br/><br/>You ask him whether he has any information that might be of use to you.  "Well, I haven't exactly done very well in here myself," he says, "but I do know that you need to collect gems and precious stones if you hope to get out.  I don't know why, but there it is."  Without another word, the ragged prisoner dashes out of the room, turning left into the tunnel.  You decide to keep heading north and turn right into the tunnel.<br/><br/>There is an open pipe in the right-hand wall, about a meter in diameter.  It is too dark to see far down it.  You shout into it and hear your voice echoing down the iron pipe until eventually the sound fades away.<br/><br/><em>Your choices are to crawl down the pipe, or to continue north.</em>
