### 63

You follow this passage northwards until it turns abruptly towards the west. A few yards ahead, a flight of stone steps ascends to an archway thirty feet above. Just past the staircase, you notice another stone door, with a lever in the wall next to it. The lever is raised and the door is closed.

If you wish to climb the stairs, turn to 323.

If you wish to investigate the door, turn to 246.
