### 304

You turn to Samu. 'Guard this entrance,' you say to him, 'I'm going down.' Gingerly, you lower yourself into a hole and begin to clamber down. Halfway down the pot-hole, you slip and fall to the bottom, slightly injuring your leg, though you are still able to walk on it. You lose 1 ENDURANCE point.

Urik follows you down. After a life spent among the tree tops, he has no difficulty with the climb. You are both standing in the midst of a honeycombed labyrinth of stone. The light of the full moon streams through the holes in the surface of the plain and the maze is bright with translucent light.

Urik sniffs the air and points. 'Follow me.' With tension mounting in your heart, you prepare to meet your goal.

Turn to 272.
