You search every square inch of the door and surrounding wall, but there appear to be no unusual features. You are examining the stone ramp when a loud roar freezes your blood. A Kalkoth has entered the ice hall. You turn to see the creature bounding towards you--its jaws are wide open, revealing its barbed tongue. You cannot evade the Kalkoth and you must fight it to the death.
