### 26

Peering through the keyhole, you can see that the lock is unusual; a small metal plate blocks the mechanism, so that it is impossible to pick the lock.

If you have the Kai Discipline of Mind Over Matter, turn to 48.

If you wish to try to break down the door, turn to 127.

If you decide to leave the door and head off along the other passage towards the stairs, turn to 93.
