The hardened path continues upward, first a slow and gentle incline, then a twisting slope like a spiral staircase (or, rather, a slide). If you lose your grip, you'll probably slide all the way back into the room with the spikes. Careful about that.

It emerges quite suddenly through the 'floor' into a wider area. Except the outside walls of the area are glass and through them you see terrible scenes, as if through a window or a TV screen. Mordred's game images. Tiger's Eye and Ruby members dead in games. A woman crying alone, her face in her hands, blonde hair cascading over her shoulders. A beautiful young boy, unconscious, being carried into a room by several people in white coats. Blood spattered everywhere. Every facet of the 'glass' shows a different, similar scene.

There is a device in the center of the room, about three feet tall, which looks somewhat like this, though spherical in the center, with the spikes ringing it. Every thirty seconds or so (you'd better duck once you're out of the hole high enough to risk getting hit by it) it shoots out sharp spikes into the walls, which shatter around it. The glass crawls around the spikes, then absorbs them, reforming into solid clear walls again.

A screaming can be heard from inside the device. No words, just endless wailing.

There is no way out except the way you came.
