At the back of the alcove are some steps leading down into a cellar.  Cobwebs brush your face as you descend.  The cellar ceiling is quite low, and the floor is strewn with rubbish and debris.  In the middle of the wall opposite you is an archway which leads into another crystal-lit tunnel.  There are large mushrooms growing on the debris to your right.<br/><br/><em>Your choices are to step through the archway, or to stop to eat some of the mushrooms.</em>
