Dripping from the walls, and tangled in your hair, The dark tar saps your light and strength, 'tis everywhere. Beware the fading light, and your fraying sanity. Treading those dark, tangled halls, oh vanity! Find the treasure, find the key, find stairs to deeper hubris. Most of all, beware the terrible gibbering of Slenderin Duckeris.
