| 110 As your last foot leaves the safety of the floor you know you will not make it. The forced confinement of the ventilation shaft still has a hold upon your legs, the stiffness not yet gone. Landing heavily upon the slab you roll and then half leap again to try and gain the safety of the other side. It is however too late. Your suspicion that the new stonework is some diabolical trap wrought by the Horde is proven correct. The instant you land on the slab a foul greenish gas spews from many holes in both sides of the passage. The gas does its work quickly, your body stiffens, wracked with pain and uncontrollable spasms. As you hit the floor of the passageway you are already dead. Here your quest ends. Perhaps in another life you will be successful. __________________________________________________________ Home | ReadMe | Instructions | Inhabitants | Map of Northern Kalborea Quick Find Page| Email | Book Two - Earth and Stone
