C6A8: Room-entry handler: the deep bog (room 29) starts timer 4
Starts timer 4 (count 2). Its threshold is also 2, so at the end of the very turn Bilbo steps into the bog, the count drops to 1 and the tick routine (A69E) runs: he is 'slowly sinking into the bog', and dies. The deep bog is simply a death trap - the way to deal with it is not to go in.
