37

For many hours you lay silently in the ventilation shaft watching the activity of the Hordim unfold before you. Unaware of your proximity they pass up and down the corridor, many creatures searching in a useless attempt to uncover your whereabouts. Finally the activity in the hall begins to diminish, the larger groups of organised and disciplined soldiers dwindling down to smaller patrol groups and eventually the corridor is empty.
Afraid of some trick you still do not move for some time, seeing only the occasional guard making a regular pass by your vantage point. It is only when you think it is probably midnight outside that you decide to move.

The rest you have taken while waiting within the shaft was much needed. Add up to six points to your endurance rating, but remember you cannot exceed your initial endurance value. Then turn to section 95.
