### 275

With one slice of your golden sword, the timber splinters in two. A shudder runs through the ground, and with one mighty roar, a deluge of earth and stone completely fills the tunnel. Clouds of dust engulf you, and the force of the blast throws you to the floor; all the torches are extinguished. You lose 1 ENDURANCE point. Staggering to your feet, you hurry along the dust-choked tunnel to where the wall torches are still burning.

Turn to 335.
