Cyclops

The whole kingdoms heard stories of the treacherous Cyclops.

The tales speak of a deep and dark cavern littered with a maze of passages and staircases, where many a brave adventurer has met the end of his life to a giant upright hominid with a singular centralized eye that shines bright with the ferocity of the sun itself!.. 'The Cyclops from down below'.

The cave system spans far and wide. Though the local townsfolk warn to steer clear of the great entrance far through the woods, overlooked by the infamous crooked tree that forever bears no fruit despite plentiful life surrounding the distinctly spiked ridges of vine-like bark.

It's highly likely many entrances exist. That one's become more of an urban legend styled tourist attraction for kids to visit. Strongest of the bunch proving his bravery by approaching or even entering the shadowy abyss while the weak throw stones from the tree line.

Few believe the Cyclops actually exists though every now and then a disappearance occurs and the frequent suggestion is that of delving too deep within the cave.

Just last week another entrance was found much closer to the village raising talk of panic and fear amongst the neighbors and local community. "Could the cyclops be living so close to our village that the very bedsprings we sleep on be within earshot to this foul beast?"

As a precautionary step cellars are being reinforced all over town to avoid cave ins. "We already have a problem with rats and mice sneaking through cracks in the rock, the last thing we need in our basements is a bloody Cyclops!"

During a routine maintenance check of your cellar the floor suddenly caves in and you find yourself, you guessed it... down below, forced to venture forth and find an exit. Are the stories of the Cyclops true you wonder as you wander.

Zigzagging up and down, in and around, over and under the various caverns and passages of the maze network has you completely lost with fork pronged intersections at every turn. You're sure you've been going around in circles for atleast an hour.

Cautiously avoiding even a whisper, the fear of even a mouse-like squeak or cough could echo and ripple down the spiraling passages for miles! In fact, there's a good chance the Cyclops already knows you're in here...

Be prepared to run, zigzag side to side and avoiding obstacles should you see the legendary light of great intensity said to emit from the eye of that there Cyclops. It just might cook you to a crisp before he proceeds to add salt.
