Returning to your senses, you exchange a look with your companions. It seems everyone experienced the same vision. Without speaking a word, you continue down the tunnel. After a time, its descent becomes extremely steep, and an even thicker growth of roots and vines bars your way. There is no choice to make here. No left or right, only forward, deeper into the claustrophobic passageway.

A terrible feeling of sickness and corruption washes over you, the world suddenly twisting away. The walls begin to close in around you as roots reach out to bind your arms and squeeze your chest, slithering into your eyes and mouth. You can feel the diseased tree inside you, crushing and choking, strangling you from within.
