| 61 It is only when the beam begins to splinter from the many impacts of the creature's weapons that you spy the ventilation grill in the base of the northern wall of the library. Although it is only a forearm wide and the same deep you may just fit. Taking off your backpack you kneel beside the grill and, placing your hands on its cold iron, pull with all your might. It does not move. Glancing back at the door you see its wood disintergrating, splintering apart like an old crate. A huge arm has forced its way in and is now searching for the wooden beam. In moments your pursuers will be inside the Library and you will surely be dead. Turning back to the grill you try pushing it. With only a small effort it falls inwards. Throwing your pack and sword into the beckoning hole you quickly follow then push the grill back into place with your foot.
| Turn to section 168. If you were carrying a shield it must be left behind. Adjust your equipment list and combat value accordingly.
