You point your finger at the mouse.  "Nothing from you!" 

"Wasn't goin' ta say nuthin," the mouse mumbles. 

Goofdaln appears at your side.  He opens his mouth.  You glare at him. "Nothing from you, either!" 

Goofdaln vanishes in a puff of smoke.  "I don't get paid enough for this job!" 

You stumble in the dark toward Cave #11. 

You grope in the absence of light toward Cave #9. 

You march bravely toward Cave #8
