### 171

A panel in the alcove slides aside to reveal a secret, dark and very narrow passage. A pair of footprints can clearly be seen in the dust-covered floor, leading into the darkness.

If you wish to enter the secret passage, turn to 148.

If you decide to avoid the passage, close the secret panel and continue along the corridor, and turn to 158.
