You find yourself at a place where four dungeon passages meet which you instantly decide to call a crossroads, --- despite the lack of anything resembling a road.

Just to confuse deffinitions even further, the southern way seems to be blocked by an iron grating, though this stil leaves you three choices to deliberate upon.

Down the steadily inclining passage to the west you can hear the sound of water, while the passage to the east slopes upwards and out of view.

Off to the north echoes the sound of industrious hammering, probably indicating that some form of mining, smithing, building or other industry involving hitting one thing with another thing is going on down there, --- hopefully both things are inanimate though you can't be sure.

there is nothing special about the eastern way, accept that it seems to slope upwards, which promises a nice workout for your calf muscles.

east would be beast.

west would be best.

north would be borth, ---- well mmmm, good.
