The guards will definitely not be happy to see you. You fancy you can hear muffled cries for help. ~ 0 8 0 D0 ~ ~ 1 8812 8867 D1 ~ ~ 1 0 8861 D3 ~ ~ 1 0 8859 S #8861 Storage Room~ In this room the Elves store their foodstuffs and beloved Dorwinion Wine. A trapdoor in the floor allows access to the river, and it is through here that the Elves deposit their empty barrels, so that the river may carry them down to Lake Town. ~ 0 8 0 D3 ~ ~ 1 0 8860 D5 ~ ~ 1 0 8862 S #8862 The River~ You are floating along a river that will carry you back through the forest, and eventually to Lake Town. ~ 0 4 7 D2 ~ ~ 0 -1 8863 D4 ~ ~ 1 0 8861 S #8863 The River~ You are floating along a river that will carry you back through the forest, and eventually to Lake Town. ~ 0 4 7 D0 ~ ~ 0 -1 8862 D2 ~ ~ 0 -1 8866 S #8864 Inside the Cave~ You are in the castle of the Wood Elven King Thranduil. The corridor here is usually deserted. It would be advisable to keep a low profile, as the natives are hostile... ~ 0 8 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 8858 D1 ~ ~ 1 0 8865 S #8865 The Throne Room of Thrandul~ Now you've blown it. You've gone and stumbled into the King's Throne Room. He is seated upon an intricately-carved wooden throne at the end of the hall. Dour guards glare at you on all sides. ~ 0 8 0 D3 ~ ~ 1 0 8864 S #8866 The River~ You are floating along a river that will carry you back through the forest, and eventually to Lake Town. ~ 0 4 7 D0 ~ ~ 0 -1 8863 D3 ~ ~ 0 -1 8824 S #8867 A Cell~ This damp cell is small and cramped, and offers little comfort to its single inhabitant. ~ 0 9 0 D2 ~ ~ 1 0 8860 S #8868 A Northern Path~ This path runs more or less directly north toward a rather old-looking section of the woods. ~ 0 0 3 D0 ~ ~ 0 -1 8869 D2 ~ ~ 0 -1 8845 S #8869 A Northern Path~ You are progressing along a long, straight northern path. Up ahead, you can see some sort of clearing. ~ 0 0 3 D2 ~ ~ 0 -1 8868 S #8870 Further into the Woods~ The woods seem to get thicker as you go descend further into Mirkwood. The tree limbs cover most of the path and passage further seems almost impossible. ~ 0 0 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 8871 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 8857 S #8871 Further into the Woods~ The woods seem to get thicker as you go descend further into Mirkwood.

Thorns attack at your skin, telling you not to go further on. ~ 0 0 0 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 8872 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 8874 S #8874 Further into the Woods~ The woods seem to get thicker as you go descend further into Mirkwood.
