[168] Down goes the first one

Running on a mere handful of hours of sleep over the last couple of days, mostly due to my own silliness. Have to do some laundry, shower, do some running around downtown (mostly money-related, paid accounts, come back to me!), and then work until 9, so. It's going to be a long day. Let's get it on.

Lifting the latch and pushing the heavy stone door open, you find yourself in a large cavern. The light is dim and murky, but as your eyes begin to adjust, you see that the walls are covered in green algae and running with moisture. The floor is strewn with straw. The atmosphere is warm, damp and fetid, and a soft humming sound fills the air. You step gingerly through the straw towards a corner of the cavern, where there appears to be a shallow pit. Peering warily into the pit, you are disgusted to see a mass of pale writhing worms, some as much as half a metre long. Utterly nauseated, you are about to turn away when you notice that their undulating bodies are swarming round a dagger, its point held fast in a crack in the pit floor. The hilt is cased in black leather studded with opals, and the blade is fashioned from a strange reddish-black burnished metal you have never seen before. You long to touch the dagger, but this would mean plunging your hand in among the writhing worms.

...we're the Fear Factor of Choose Your Own Adventure stories, aren't we? Eating anything, sticking our hands in anything...
effseedee: Adam West Batman runs zanily through a street, carrying an old-timey smoking bomb above his head. It is hilarious. (Some days you just can't get rid of 'em)
