Desperation and Ingenuity: The Tunnels’ Deadly Gauntlet

The narrow side tunnel serves as a temporary refuge for the heroes, saving them from the tidal wave. Indiana shoves Willie and Short Round inside just as the flood crashes past, its roar shaking the walls. The tunnel’s cramped confines and damp stone amplify the sense of claustrophobia and urgency, offering a fleeting respite before the group must continue their escape.

Before: Empty and accessible, a hidden passage in the mine.

After: Temporarily occupied by the heroes, then abandoned as they flee deeper into the mine.
