Lost in a Cursed Maze of Evil

"Arf!" Fred the little dog barked angrily, as if somehow offended by the comment.

"Don't worry pup, we'll be out of these dreary caves soon," Astra promised, taking a side-passage that sloped sharply left and downwards. They passed an entrance to a giant cave that contained a large number of oddly dressed people laughing and singing and throwing flowered wreaths over a golden sculpture of a calf. There was much feasting and drinking, and a man's voice was yelling loudly "Gather round, all! Praise the golden calf that has led us out of Egypt!"

Astra kept going, and soon the sounds of celebration faded to the steady drip-drip of water from the ceiling, and the flutter of horned cavebats streaking by. The cave passage sloped ever downward, soon coming to yet another cave entrance. Astra heard sounds coming from this one too, but something felt strange - she couldnt understand what was making these sounds, and somehow they felt disturbing.

1. Astra investigates the strange sounds.
2. Astra hurries past quickly, further down the sloping passageway.
3. Astra returns to the cave where the people were partying.
4. Astra starts getting hungry, and sits down for a bite of food from her basket.
