'Very well,' you say, 'lead on.'

Tanith gives a sigh of relief and points towards the antechamber of Mother Magri. 'This way,' she says, running into the room. With Shan muttering about death and destruction, betrayal and butchery, you follow her.

'Casas Indu,' she calls, and a hidden door slides open, revealing a dark space behind. 'It's a secret passage,' she explains. 'Here is your Staff and Backpack.' She takes a torch from the wall, and its light reveals a small compartment roughly hewn from stone and a sloping passage heading downwards. You take the Backpack and Staff from their hiding place and turn to Tanith. 'What now?' you ask.

'Down the passage--hurry!' she replies. You and Shan run down the passage. Tanith follows swiftly. 'Casas Sendra,' she intones, and the secret door slides shut.

If you have the Kazim Stone and there is room in your Backpack, you may place it there for safekeeping. Remember to mark this Backpack Item on your Action Chart.
