| 67 The abrupt turn in the passage towards the south jolts you from your thoughts and back to the matter at hand. Peering carefully around the corner and down towards the south you see that the passage runs about 100 metres in that direction before again turning to the east. The lighting here is only reflected light from the corridor behind you. Very quickly it disappears into a shadowy gloom ahead. On the left hand side of the passage are two doors; the first about 15 metres from where you stand at the corner, the second is 45 metres further along. Both doors are of sturdy construction and both show signs of frequent use. As you peer into the dimness of the corridor you notice a Mutan guard standing silently at its end. In the grey shadow of a small alcove recessed into the stone the creature stands, its body still but its eyes possibly roaming the corridor, all its senses on alert. When you first looked down this passage you did not see it but a movement of its weapon arm alerted you to its presence. To proceed any further you will have to remove the Mutan from the passageway.
| Will you try and draw the Mutan up the passage towards you? If you wish to try turn to section 96. If you think he may be asleep and you want to try to rush him turn to section 137.
