Wooden Lining of the Pit

Rough wooden planks line the upper edges of the pit, forming a fragile boundary between safety and the abyss below.

The wood creaks ominously under her weight, a constant reminder of the structure's precarious state—both a temporary aid and an imminent danger if it fails.
