### 267

You climb the steeply sloping passage. An hour passes and Urik begins to sniff the air. 'Shadow Gate drawing near,' he says. You increase your pace to match the quickening beat of your heart. At last, the passage opens on to a small, circular cavern: exits lead north, east and west.

If you wish to take the passage leading north, turn to 23.

If you wish to take the passage leading west, turn to 37.

If you wish to take the passage leading east, turn to 46.

If you possess the Magical Power of Prophecy and wish to use it, turn to 64.
