You are in a large, red sandstone cave, colorfully lit by the last rays of the setting sun. Standing in the center of the chamber is a fifteen foot tall, 4-armed, GIANT WHITE APE!

Though it scowls menacingly, the monstrosity appears to be stuffed, as it rests unmoving upon a low pedestal of unknown design. An antique gold plaque at the base reads:

MARTIAN WHITE APE
Owned by Kmar Mkar
Jeddak of Carnelian
Donated in 1911 to the Smithsonian
National Museum of Natural History
Washington, D.C.


A faint, greenish glow emanates from a strange trapezoidal opening near the back of the cave. The cave entrance is to the west.
