it. The last one said “Splen Ded Glen.
A tiny elf glided toward them. Its high voice rang through the cavern.
“You are looking for escape,” it said. “One of these doors will lead you to safety. I am forbidden from telling you which
one. I can tell you this: one door leads to the bottom of the sea, one into a blazing fire and one to a grassy meadow.
Each door is logical to its end. You must decide quickly, as the troll will find you very soon. Good luck.”
