As far as you’re concerned, <span class="mu-s">LEVEL 3</span> is done–unless you’re missing some <span class="mu-i">HUGE SECRET</span>, that is!
“I mean… it’s <span class="mu-i">possible</span>, dude…”
You know it is, you reply with frustration equal to Raj’s concern, but if it’s here then you haven’t seen it… you need some more clues! You also haven’t seen the whole mine yet, either, so maybe what you’re looking for is somewhere else!
Leading the way, you and Raj easily <span class="mu-s">PARKOUR</span> across the gap one more time, but the frequency of tremors around you is increasing too much to ignore… Rather than stop at the <span class="mu-s">ELEVATOR</span>, you instead head past it towards the other end of the shaft!
You and your buddy stay alert in case anything else attempts to surprise you, but aside from the distant sound of scratching and the groan of machinery throughout the mines, your trip goes relatively smoothly!
“They’re probably thinkin’ twice about attacking after what we did to their pal!” Smirks Raj as you come to a huge staircase encased in a metal cage! That’s what you’re hoping, you mutter as you give the cage a closer examination!
The <span class="mu-s">’MAINTENANCE EXIT,</span>’ as it was referred to on the map, actually appears to be some kind of <span class="mu-s">’MAINTENANCE STAIRCASE’</span> leading both up <span class="mu-i">AND</span> down as most staircases do! The aforementioned cage, however, makes it hard to get into, as does the sizable <span class="mu-s">PADLOCK</span> built into the door currently blocking your path!
“Hmm…” Raj frowns as he examines the lock with you, “Didja’ see a key anywhere back there?”
You didn’t, and the pessimist in you thinks that you aren’t going to find it… still, you weren’t exactly searching thoroughly… maybe it’s somewhere on this level? It’d be a pretty crappy escape route if the miners couldn’t use it, right?
Your buddy shrugs as the mine continues to groan and creak around you.
“We could probably bust it open too…”
Now <span class="mu-i">there’s</span> an idea…
What’s the plan?
>SEARCH FOR THE KEY! THERE’S GOTTA BE ONE SOMEWHERE… RIGHT?
>THE DOOR SEEMS OLD–IF WE SMASH THE LOCK ENOUGH IT OUGHTA OPEN!
>WE HAVE DYNAMITE–WE CAN JUST MAKE OUR OWN ESCAPE ROUTE!
>LET’S HEAD TO (WHICH FLOOR) VIA ELEVATOR–THIS SEEMS LIKE A PAIN IN THE ASS…
>WRITE-IN!
