### 279

In response to your psychic power, the sword rises from the block and glides towards your open hand. It is a plain, heavy-bladed weapon of poor quality and unworthy of your scabbard, but in this strange and hostile maze, this rough steel blade helps to restore your hopes of survival.

If you wish to leave the vault by the left tunnel, turn to 298.

If you wish to leave by the right tunnel, turn to 322.
