Ruins Room
Here the main corridor opens into a vast underground space. Your light can
barely illuminate a fraction of it. All around are cyclopean blocks of stone,
crudely carved statues, and constructs of unimaginable purpose. Nearby the
portico of a building has collapsed, and a pillar has smashed the pavement and
exposed a small channel filled with swiftly rushing water. Water stains indicate
that at one time the water flooded the entire area.

>blorple cube
Abruptly, your surroundings shift.

Changing Room
The scene here shifts and changes constantly. For example, the exit to the west
is always an exit, but one moment it is an oak door, and the next a flimsy
curtain of beads. The details are impossible to pin down for longer than a
second or two. The eastern and northern exits are equally fluid.

You feel stretched, wrung out, and pulled in all directions. You are growing.

>n
As you leave, the cube reappears in your hand.

A compass rose lies discarded in a corner.

and the decorations on the box change subtly. They now depict butterflies.

central knob tells which arm goes with which direction. The arms are decorated
with mythological scenes in finely wrought silver chased with gold.

Okay.

you are through it.
