Although the cave is empty, you detect the lingering scent of a creature that has slept here in the last twenty-four hours. If this is the creature’s lair, it is likely to return to seek shelter from the storm.

If you wish to leave the cave and look for shelter elsewhere, turn to 183.

If you decide to stay in the cave and remain on your guard in case its previous occupant should return, turn to 18.
