### 125

After two hours of carefully exploring the passage, you are aware that it has gradually descended over two hundred feet. You eventually reach a vast ice vault, the centre of which is filled with a lake. The frozen surface is very thin, and the water beneath it looks dark and deep. You kneel at the edge of the lake, peering into its mysterious depths. Suddenly you see a large black shape pass close to the surface. There is something alive beneath the ice--and it is enormous. Then behind you, you hear the growls of a Kalkoth. The noise is coming from the tunnel. There is only one other exit from this vault which is on the other side of the frozen lake.

If you have the Kai Discipline of Camouflage, turn to 96.

If you wish to run across the surface of the lake, turn to 322.

If you wish to stand and fight the Kalkoth, turn to 207.
