| 192 Dangling from the jutting rock you gaze down into the Neverending Deep that yaws below. The hole disappears into black, a strong fetid wind blowing upwards from its depths. Steeling yourself you slowly begin the climb that will take you out of the hole to safety. Handhold by handhold you inch upwards, your fingers feeling each crack in the stone, each ledge or bump that can give you support. Twice you almost fall, but after a seeming eternity of effort and sweat you pull yourself out of the pit of Neverending Deep and sit, breathing heavily, on the cool stone stairs. Exhausted you sit propped against the stone, nausea and fatigue quickly overtaking you as you thank the gods again for your deliverance. The sounds of pursuit are now however, too close. Pulling yourself to your feet you summon your last reserves of energy and continue the agonizing climb upwards.
