You tie one end of the rope to a strong stick and cast it across the gap. On your third attempt it anchors in some exposed tree roots near to the edge. A few tentative pulls assure you that it is secure enough to support your weight and you swing across, your feet braced to withstand the jolt of impact against the chasm wall.

Pick a number from the Random Number Table.

If the number you have picked is 0-4, turn to 304.

If it is 5-9, turn to 289.
