### 177

Screams of 'Intruder!' echo from below as you run headlong towards the ladder. You reach it and begin your climb towards a secondary platform, located directly below the one which supports the winch.

You are only six rungs away from the platform when suddenly the faces of two Acolytes of Vashna appear over the edge. They curse and spit on you as they try to stab you with their spears.

If you possess Kai-alchemy, and wish to use it, turn to 137.

If you possess Magi-magic, and wish to use it, turn to 345.

If you possess neither of these Grand Mastery Disciplines, or choose not to use them, turn to 86.
