### 29

The tunnel winds its way deeper and deeper into the solid rock until it emerges at a chamber illuminated by a shaft of shimmering red light that pours down from a square hole in the ceiling. A pair of huge iron doors fills the opposite wall and appears to offer the only exit from the room. In order to reach the doors, you will have to pass through the eerie red light.

If you wish to walk through the light and examine the iron doors, turn to 269.

If you prefer to retrace your steps and take the east tunnel, turn to 272.
