### 250

You close your hand around the Lorestone of Herdos, and your senses reel as a wave of energy washes over your body (restore your current ENDURANCE points score to its original total). Your senses tingle and a new-found strength wipes away the fatigue of your terrible ordeal, enabling you to assess the situation anew. A vibration runs through the iron floor, a forewarning of the eruptions that will tear Kazan-Oud to pieces. Swiftly you descend the spiral stairs and sprint along the tube, oblivious of the heat and noise that buffet you mercilessly as you run towards the distant hall. There, you find everything in chaos: Zahda's minions, his guards and his slaves run in blind confusion as they try to escape from the impending doom.

If you have the Magnakai Discipline of Pathsmanship or Divination, turn to 338.

If you wish to fight your way up the stairs to the prison cell complex level and try to escape from there, turn to 300.

If you choose to ignore the stairs and follow the corridor on this level, turn to 315.
