### 286

Using your improved Grand Master Discipline, you are able to touch the rotten sign and obliterate the mould that has eaten into its surface. Slowly the painted words take shape and form until you are able to understand the Eldenoran script:

DANGER—ABANDONED SHAFT—DO NOT ENTER

You are about to turn away from the entrance when suddenly you notice fresh footprints in the dirt. Your Pathsmanship skills tell you that these were made within the last few hours by three pairs of booted feet. All three sets of tracks lead directly into the abandoned shaft.

If you wish to enter the mine shaft and investigate these tracks further, turn to 184.

If you decide to leave the shaft and continue along the ravine, turn to 204.
