Descending the narrow staircase, you arrive at a tunnel-like corridor, sandwiched between two walls of mouldering masonry. Foul, oily water gurgles along a channel in the slippery floor towards a distant archway, which is blocked by a black, iron portcullis. Bolted to the criss-crossed bars is a plaque which bears a curious design:

On the wall to your left is a large, rusty dial with a brass pointer. Set around it, like the numerals of a clock, are the numbers 1 to 40, and below the dial is a lever. Your basic Kai instincts tell you that by selecting the correct number, or numbers, and pulling the lever, you will open the portcullis.

If you have the Magnakai Discipline of Divination, turn to 167.

If you have the Magnakai Discipline of Pathsmanship, turn to 306.

If you have neither of these skills, turn to 329.
