The whole place is coming down around us, and I've got a bad feeling about what's..." The roar of collapsing stone echoed through the cavern, accompanied by the ominous sound of rushing water. Merrin knew they had mere moments before the entire structure gave way completely. She had to think fast, to find some way out of this nightmare scenario before it was too late...
