37

You walk along the west passage. It rises steadily and eventually opens into a small cave with an opening that overlooks a large gorge. Beneath the light of the full moon you see miles and miles of contorted rock. It looks as if it has been melted in a furnace.

You find the skeletal remains of several bodies but as you lift a skull to examine it, it crumbles to dust in your hand.

You search the cave and find a Silver Knife. You may keep this Special Item, which can be worn on your belt. (Remember to mark it on your Action Chart.) You head back along the passage until you come to the circular cavern once more.

If you wish to take the passage leading east, turn to 46.

If you wish to take the passage leading north, turn to 23.

If you have the Magical Power of Prophecy and wish to use it, turn to 64.
