### 267

Panting heavily you sprint up the steep slope of the tunnel. You glance over your shoulder to see many soldier Mantiz scurrying towards you. The tunnel opens into a circular chamber. Leading from the chamber are three exits: two stone corridors, one leading east and one other west, and a narrow tunnel made of earth leading south. You can hear the clack of the insect horde's pincers echoing along the tunnel. You dare not hesitate now.

If you wish to leave the circular chamber by the east corridor, turn to 332.

If you wish to take the western exit, turn to 340.

If you would prefer to take the southern exit, turn to 347.
