| 65 Without any apparent way to get out of the Library except back through the locked door you decide to try your luck and find another passage, one that may lead past the Library and on into the depths of the fortress. To do this however, you will have to risk opening the door and retrace your steps back along the ornately carved corridor, then down the stairs to the levels below. Putting your ear to the door you hear nothing but the door is thick. You cannot be certain as to what is on the other side. Carefully you lift the wooden beam from the door and unlock it. With little noise the lock turns and you pull the door slightly open so that you can peer down the hall. To your surprise the hall is crowded with heavily breathing Jotun, Hresh and Mutans. Their surprise is just as great as yours but a single shout from one of the larger creatures triggers the group into action. In one smooth motion the Jotuns charge the door, bearing down like a falling cliff face upon you. The slower Hreshs and Mutans make up the rear. In desperation you slam the door.
| Throw a dice. If you throw a 3 or higher turn to section 43. If you throw a two or lower turn to section 130.
