E) You are extremely nervous. This is obviously something that you shouldn’t be doing, but you’ve always wanted to see the chariot races in the Circus Maximus. You think about the crowds, the cheering, and the races! What could be more exciting? Justus leads the way with Flavius and you following close behind. You approach the enormous racing arena, with the thunder of hooves and cheers of adoring fans filling the air. Justus suddenly stops and turns to face you. “Follow me. Don’t say a word.” he says with a sneer. He grabs three cloaks off of a passing cart, and throws one to Flavius, and one to you. He places the cloak over his left shoulder and motions to you to do the same. The three of you approach a small, unguarded entrance to the Circus Maximus. Justus ducks down to pass through the tiny opening. Once you enter, you are enshrouded in darkness. “Shhh.”, say Justus. After walking for some time in the inky blackness, you notice a dim torchlight up ahead. Justus, however, directs you to follow him down another dark tunnel.
Do you?
I) Walk towards the torchlight
