The Middle Tunnel

The Never Ending Quest - Episode 9676

"The tunnel in the middle seems as good a choice as any," said Jarlath. "Though whether we should hope we can find Minestus or should hope that we can't, I'm not too sure. After all, from what you've told me, even Velus is clearly very formidable, and Minestus is more powerful still." "Not getting cold feet, are you, Jarlath?" asked Astra with a smile (not that the others could see that she was smiling). "No, of course not, Princess. In any case, since we are lost we can't find anyone other than doing it accidentally, so it's rather a moot point." "True. By the way, I don't think this is the time or the place to be too formal, so I'd prefer it if you both called me 'Astra' rather than 'Princess'."

As they talked, they were walking down the middle tunnel, which ran straight and level for a considerable distance. Eventually...

  1. They came to a point where Fred's torch revealed strange runes carved into the floor of the tunnel.
  2. The tunnel ended at a flight of stone steps leading downwards.
  3. Astra shimmered back into visibility. Apparently the effect of Jarlath's miscast spell had been only temporary.
