### 38

Halfway round the small tower, a section of the sandstone ledge begins to crumble beneath your feet. Instinctively, you leap sideways and stretch out your hands in time to grasp the firm ledge beyond. The drop below is terrifying, but your terror gives you the impetus and strength you need to claw your way back on to the ledge. Your fingers are bleeding and bruised, but you are still alive. You lose 1 ENDURANCE point.

Turn to 87.
