### 212

An overwhelming stench of dampness and decay pervades the shaft. You decide to send one of your men up the ladder to make sure that it is still secure. All seems well, for he soon reaches the next level and signals you all to follow. The tunnel on the upper level leads to an oval-shaped, rough-hewn chamber where a strange silky fluid coats the floor.

If you have the Kai Discipline of Animal Kinship, turn to 41.

If you do not possess this skill, search for an exit from the chamber, and turn to 276.
