Following the Stranger's lead, you take a circuitous route through the underground passageways. Finally you are confronted by a dead end - a tunnel blocked by an impossibly thick wall of collapsed bone and rubble. The Stranger stands nearby, holding the partially-charred skull he pulled from the fire in the Tomb of Shadows. "What now?" you ask, confused. He holds the skull aloft, and the floor begins to collapse into a pit of dark emptiness below. Bones and rubble from the wall fall into the pit, and it grows larger with each moment. The Stranger bows, then falls backwards into the pit before you can grab him. "Wait!" you call out, but it is too late. With the pit growing and threatening to swallow the catacombs entirely, you have no choice but to follow him.
