You soon reach a section of tunnel that is under repair. Part of the floor has subsided, and a gaping hole is spanned by a rickety wooden bridge. You are tired and fail to notice that your Torch has almost burnt out. You are at the centre of the bridge when the Torch flickers and dies; you are plunged into darkness.

If you have another Torch4 in your Backpack, turn to 22.

If you have no other Torch, you must try to inch your way across the bridge in total darkness. Pick a number from the Random Number Table. If you have the Kai Discipline of Sixth Sense or Tracking, add 3 to the number you have picked.

If your total is now 0-6, turn to 99.

If it is 7-12, turn to 256.

[4] Remember that you may not use another Torch unless you have a Tinderbox as well. Also, you may use a Kalte Firesphere in place of a Torch and Tinderbox if you have one.
