The Whispering Staircase
A chill gust slams the oaken door behind you, extinguishing your torch.
> The stone steps ahead disappear into pitch-black silence.
You draw a shaky breath. In the distance, a low rumble—like gears turning—echoes up the shaft.

## What will you do?
- **Descend** the spiral staircase with only your instincts to guide you.
- **Pause** and light a lantern from the tinderbox in your satchel.
- **Call out** into the darkness, hoping for a friendly reply.
- **Retreat** and wedge the door open before you lose your exit.
