A cavern (e, s and n)

You're standing in a small dug out cavern. Right here, you're on the border between the dirt cutouts, and the stone mines. To the north lies an old elevator shaft leading down to the mines. Someone has posted a large sign painted in a bright red, they probably want to catch your attention. Here, the only light you can see has been helpfully provided by way of torches attached to the walls.
There's rope hanging in the elevator shaft.
The only obvious exits are east, south and north.
