There is a slot in the padlock into which you place the coin.  Immediately the lock clicks apart, and you are able to unchain the stilts.  You place them on your shoulder and once again set off north.<br/><br/><em>You lose 1 Gold Piece and gain Stilts.</em><br/><br/>A little farther on you come to a section of the tunnel which is covered in thick green slime.  It looks threatening, so you decide to test it first with a piece of cloth.  The slime's corrosive jelly burns the cloth instantly, leaving no trace.<br/><br/>You climb onto your stilts and take a few tentative steps across the floor.  Your confidence grows, and you soon feel able to tackle the walk across the slime.  Smoke rises from the base of the stilts as the slime starts to burn them away.  You plod stolidly on and finally reach solid ground again.  Unfortunately, the stilts are still covered in slime and you are forced to dump them.  Setting off north, you come to a junction.<br/><br/><em>You lose the Stilts.  Your choices are to go west, or to continue north.</em>
