### 118

Standing at the foot of the towering cliffs, you look up. The cliffs are smooth and sheer; there seems no way of climbing them. The curling wisps of mist from Lake Shenwu swirl below, and you move across the scree at the base of the Azakawa Wall, searching for a way up. Your head feels fuzzy and you lose 1 ENDURANCE point.

Suddenly you see a crack in the cliff a few feet above your head. It is a small niche, but is large enough to hide a man.

If you wish to investigate the crack in the cliff, turn to 268.

If you wish to return to the Shenwu Falls and the area around Lake Shenwu, turn to 293.
