Tell the chief to save her himself

From Create Your Own Story

"Save her yourself."

He gestures to the other Svinns who, still taking no chances, grab you by your arms and haul you to your feet.

You are led along a short pathway through the forest to a crack in the ground. One Svinn has brought a rope, and another basket. They are preparing to lower you down into the pit of the Earth itself.

"You will pay me richly for this," you tell them. The Svinns nod. The chief replies, "We are poor, but we will try."

"Good."

"Watch the darkness," he declares as they start to lower you down. From your shoulder Jann murmurs, "We're in trouble now..." She shivers. You hit the floor with a thud, and peer into the darkness.

Your eyes can make out nothing, but a slight breeze suggests endless space in all directions. You are blind, helpless, trapped. You reach out your arms in both directions. You find a wall behind you, and another in front, gently curved. Left and right is empty space.

Something clatters to your feet from above. One of the Svinns shouts something down to you. You crouch down and feel around your feet, until your hand closes on the base of something. You pick it up. It is a dry-wood torch.

Something else falls from above and strikes you on the head. "Tinderbox!" calls the voice. Rubbing the bruise on your head, you reach down and find the tinderbox.

Do you:
