### 221

You soon reach a hall divided by a wide chasm. It is deathly quiet here, and even the slightest noise seems to echo around the grey-stone walls like a clash of cymbals. An arched bridge crosses the chasm and leads to a massive pair of stone doors. You are crossing the bridge when there is a deafening rumble. The doors are opening.

If you wish to draw your weapon and prepare for combat, turn to 50.

If you wish to flee from the bridge, run back along the tunnel and descend the stairs by turning to 228.

If you would rather leap from the parapet of the bridge into the unknown depths of the chasm, turn to 342.
