### 318

The cloying smell of damp and decay grows steadily stronger, and you are forced to cover your nose with your cloak to block out the sickly stench. The tunnel twists to the right, and you notice a small iron door set into the wall ahead and a narrow staircase descending into the gloom.

If you wish to investigate the door, turn to 262.

If you decide to descend the stairs, turn to 11.
