Copyright WF Densley 2001 All Rights Reserved.You find that your axe is very efficient at clearing away the dust covered webs that hinder your advance. Moving steadily forward it takes only a few minutes to reach the passage's end. A quick but careful search confirms your suspicion that it is a dead end. Where the tunnel should have continued there has been set an enormous slab of dull grey metal. You can find no mechanism that will move the barrier and no other way around it. Discouraged you turn back down the passage and make your way back to the Lesser Hall.

For some time you stand silent in the darkness. At first you can make out the muffled movement of something quietly crossing the floor of the hall before all is again still. The minutes pass but hearing nothing else you edge your way from behind the heavy cloth hanging and decide your next move.

If you have not already done so will you; Try to open the double doors in the east wall. If so turn to section 153. Investigate the open passage in the south wall. If so turn to section 70.
