You step confidently onto the first pole and stride across to the next.  As you land on the third pole, it immediately releases a shower of sharp splinters, each several centimeters long.  They fly out in all directions at great speed, and you cannot avoid being hit.  You manage to scramble over the remaining poles and sit down to the painful task of removing the splinters from your body.  After resting for a while, you set off east again.<br/><br/><em>You lose 2 Luck points, and you lose 3 Stamina from being hit by 3 splinters.</em><br/><br/>The tunnel ends at a junction.  The footprints you have been following turn north and you decide to stay with them.<br/><br/>You soon come to another junction in the tunnel.  One branch leads east, but the wet footprints you have been following continue north and you decide to follow their trail.<br/><br/>The passage opens out into a wide cavern which is darker but much drier.  Ahead you see the footprints gradually fade, then disappear.  There is a large idol in the center of the cavern, standing approximately six meters high.  It has jeweled eyes, each as big as your fist.  There are two giant stuffed bird-like creatures standing on either side of the idol.<br/><br/><em>Your choices are to climb the idol and take the jewels, or to walk through the cavern to the tunnel in the opposite wall.</em>
