   The tunnel opens up here into a large underground cavern.  In the 
center of the room is a large pit full of embers from a nearly burned
out fire.  The light from the dying fire casts a weak glow about the

entrance, the ceiling drops back down and the walls narrow as the
tunnel continues deeper into the mountain.
    The only obvious exits are northeast and east.
