Conclusion
All you hear is your own heavy breathing.

The tunnel is collapsed, the demons are dead,

and now the cavern is as silent as a tomb.
Except for your breathing, that is. That
means you’re still alive at least.

This quest hasn’t exactly gone as planned,

and now you’re stuck far beneath the earth
with two collapsed passages between you
and fresh air. Still, you are safe. For now.

And so, you rest a good, long while, finally in

peace. And then you continue on to see what
there is to find down here in the depths.
