| 152 The moment you open the thick ironstrapped door your sense of smell is assailed by the heavy odours of sulphur and ash. It is so strong that you can taste it in your mouth and it clings to your clothing like a thick fog. As you cross over the threshold into the passage and shut the door behind you, the temperature increases markedly. The heat wraps about you and quickly becomes oppressive as it floods the hall in waves. In the background you can hear what sounds like a furnace being fanned by enormous bellows. Perspiring freely you move down the hall, your weapon ready in your hand. The passage heads south and it is some 150 metres before you find a door set in the eastern wall to your left. Placing your ear against the door you can hear nothing but the distant pounding of that great furnace.
| Do you wish to open the door? If you do turn to section 178. If you wish to continue your quest south down the passage turn to section 42.
