The tapestries are similar to others you have seen in the lower levels of Kazan-Oud; they are extremely beautiful and exceedingly valuable. However, it is what you discover behind them that is of greater interest, for they conceal a secret door. Your basic Kai senses alert you to a tiny button set into the wall. You press it and the door slides open to reveal a circular tunnel of gleaming steel. Quickly you enter and the door slides shut, moments before the hall is filled with Zahda's guards.

Fifty feet along the gleaming steel tube, you arrive at a circular door in the wall to your left.

If you wish to open the door and enter, turn to 15.

If you wish to continue along the tube, turn to 90.
