### 162

Your shot is fast and deadly accurate: the arrow pierces the warrior's armoured back just above the waist, pitching him forward on to his face. He writhes for a brief moment on the rubbish-strewn floor before surrendering to death.

Swiftly you race along the corridor, leaving the dead guard and the chamber far behind. You pass through an archway that opens out to a landing at the top of a spiral staircase and you descend the stairs. At the bottom of the stairs a tunnel leads off to the west and the east.

If you have the Magnakai Discipline of Pathsmanship or Divination, turn to 171.

If you wish to go west, turn to 29.

If you wish to go east, turn to 272.
