### 81

The hoarse cries of the guard echo along the tunnel. You soon reach a section where repairs are in progress; a prop in the centre of the passage supports a cracked roof beam. If you could just knock away the prop, it might cause the roof to fall in, which would seal off the passage behind you. You can now hear the running footsteps of more than one guard approaching.

If you wish to knock away the roof prop, turn to 173.

If you decide to ignore the prop and press on along the tunnel, turn to 224.
