No. That passage is caved in.

Is the natural lighting in the first area, you know, the pit place, strong enough to read the paper in?

Does the weird warping thing emit enough light?

Get some gauze or whatever out of the first aid kit, and light it on fire with another spark. Then use that light to read the paper.

..you know, if you want to read those papers............ there's, as far as I know, an extremely simple way to read it............

Return to the entrance ( the room we got into first ). Build some improvised stairs using rocks to reach the rope and climb up and out of the maze, then read the note.

let's do that. add two rocks to inventory. then let's go S, E, S, W, S. look around.

I made a staircase and climbed halfway back up the rope. The light there was enough to read the note. On closer inspection it appeared to have been printed on used paper. The front I had already read, but the back...

It looked to be a bit outdated; many of these things had already been done but hadn't been crossed out.

@MSB- that takes you through the fake wall

So basically the floor of the airvent is covered with poison needles. \o/

how does one use the antivenom?

It isn't nearly strong enough for this poison, if that's what you are thinking.

then what use does it have?
how tall are the needles?
and list the current inventory

Hmm... slash the needles down with the katana?

i was thinking more of a "smash them with a rock"

You just read that in a notice. You have no idea how tall the needles are, how they are positioned in the shaft, or anything. Trying to smash them with a rock would be a futile waste of time.

Inventory

Go S, E, S. Karate-kick the wall.

there is no north where we are (i think)

go S, E, S and look at the fake wall.

Changed my last post. XP

What's it with you people and looking at things while in total darkness that you have already carefully examined before?

EDIT- improved grammar to make it actually readable

it's fun!

uhm... let's try to go through the vent without touching the floor. i know it sounds impossible, but just push against the walls.

if that is impossible, then try to use the rocks as a kind of protective shield against your hands and feet. hmmm... how big (ft, in, cm, etc.) is the vent?

The rocks are too round to use as effective shields. You would slip.
The vent is too narrow and small to do anything but crawl through on your belly.

how can you slip when you're on your belly?

...try to cut them down with your katana?

That is, you would assuming the air vent was tall enough.

Being there would help in cutting them down. I just realized I suddenly got very lenient in automatically moving people. NO MORE!

south, south, cut 'em down.

Cutting them down wouldn't be the best idea, considering that a needle on it's side is still just as pointy as one sticking up right.

I went south and south again, and took out my katana. Selecting the sharper and straighter edge of the two, I carefully swept the inside of the air vent. Continuing on, I managed my way through the entire vent, slowly but thoroughly removing the needles.

@Stratn- yes, but a needle that's sideways is rather hard to poke yourself with, seeing as it is parallel to the floor and you don't see people cutting themselves on the floor much. Plus sweeping the inside of the vent would naturally build all the needles up at the edges, and thus they could be easily avoided.

*takes control*

Go through the vent and climb out the other side.

I stepped out of the vent, already being at the other side. I was in a room, but obviously could not see the details.

Too bad. D= *slaps self for breaking the lantern*

Go north.

I walked north, and met a wall. Sliding east to find the door, I feel down a pit. Luckily, my reflexes allowed me to catch the edge. Unluckily, I lost the notice and my rocks, my free hand only being able to hold my katana and the first aid kit.

Inventory

Climb back up. Try to edge around the pit.

Alright, new map needed. Let's get ready for a DUNGEON IN A DUNGEON!

Climb back up? With one hand? Holding a big metal weight and a bulky plastic box?

Throw the katana and first aid kit up the edge, then climb up yourself.

so... how long has Araches been down here? a day? a week? a month? a year? a decade? a MILLENIUM?!?

Chuck the box and the katana up to ground level. NOW climb up.

I tossed my stuff up the edge, and due to basic scientific principles of action and reaction was knocked backwards and fell down the pit. Faced with the prospect of slowly starving to death while falling an infinate distance down a pocket dimension, I...

...snapped back to reality. I slammed to the ground as I lost my balance mid-leap to the air-vent. And sat there for a bit, dizzy with vertigo. Wait, vertigo?

@MSB- I actually have no clue, the chronology is so confused. But she hasn't starved to death or anything yet.

Wait for dizziness to wear off.
Climb up the vent whilst knocking out the needles.
Drop the inventory and come back for it laterz. (make sure the notice is under the rock or the kit.)
Hang from the ledge and shimmy around the pit.
Climb up and go north.

Almost a macro, but I'll excuse it because this is redoing stuff.

I waited for the vertigo to pass, then climbed up the air vent. I went along, swiping back and forth with my katana as I went. Why, I'm not so sure. I had done it before, but that was a dream... wasn't it?
I climbed out of the vent and left my things on the floor. I went straight to where I thought the exit north was and fell down a pit, but quickly grabbed at the edge with both hands and pulled myself up. I went north, and entered another room. There was a faint light coming from the north...

Go north. Carefully.

I went north. Due to all the dark magic dampening the light, it very quickly went from faint to daylight-intensity, as I quickly went from walking along to clutching at my eyes in pain. However, recovering quickly I looked around. The room was properly lit by florescent lights in the celing, with a sign on the north wall saying 'The trader is currently' with, under it, a smaller sign currently turned to 'out'. The west wall had a waste bin next to it, and the east wall had a button. But the most noticable feature was a table with several chairs pulled up to it in the center, and the most important part of that was Araches sitting at one. She appeared to be eating something in a box.

Hearing me, she stiffened, then turned and visibly relaxed. "I'm so glad it's you and not Uberbob who came back for me here. In more ways then one." She glanced at me. I stepped back. I didn't like that glance.

Say "What's going on here? These tunnels are a mess!"
