### 40

A line of empty ore wagons lie parked along a stretch of track that disappears into the west wall of this gallery. Above the arched tunnel, a flight of wooden stairs leads to a smaller passage lit by a spluttering torch.

You stay hidden in the shadows, watching the gallery for half an hour before you are satisfied that it is safe to enter.

If you have the Kai Discipline of Tracking, and if you have reached the Kai rank of Aspirant, turn to 349.

If you wish to follow the wagon track into the west tunnel, turn to 55.

If you wish to climb the stairs to the balcony and explore the passage, turn to 291.
