Lair of the Unidragon, Page Twenty-Four
The tunnel to the left looked as if it stretched on endlessly from where you were, but now, as you step into it, it ends in a wall after only a few feet.
This is getting really irritating, you say, patting the wall to make sure it's not an illusion.
Solid.
You whirl around to leave, take one big stride back out of the tunnel and--
--smash your nose into another wall. It's solid too. Of course.
Well, at least it's only dirt, not stone or anything. I can dig through it. You pull out your sword, stare sadly for a moment at the beautiful dwarven-tempered steel, then plunge it into the wall. The blade will be ruined forever, but you really don't have anything else to dig with. You set to work.
As you bend over, trying to enlarge the hole, you feel something press against your butt. You whirl around to see who's there.
It isn't a person--the WALL has moved forward and is now squishing against you. You try to straighten up but can't, quite--the ceiling is lower now, too.
And now you hear it--a low, rumbling, grating sound, as the cube-shaped little room folds in on itself smaller, and smaller...very slowly. It's already getting uncomfortable, but you estimate it'll take another few hours at least to finally kill you.
It's going to be a long wait.
