302

Eventually you find yourself standing before the tall tower. Its strange, black walls glow with an eldritch quality that is both fascinating and unnerving. You can see no door to the tower but, just above head-height, there is a metal plate. Inscribed upon the plate are some strange symbols. ‘What does it say?’ asks Tanith.

‘I do not know,’ you reply. ‘It is written in a language that I do not recognize.’ Yet, even as you speak, the symbols on the metal plate change, and you find that you can read the inscription after all:

‘From south of here, to west, and north,
Then east and south once more,
A circle’s motion rings the charm
That finds the Vanishing Door.’

You ponder the strange words, trying to determine their meaning. ‘A riddle?’ queries Tanith.

If you wish to search for a door on the left side of the tower, turn to 56.

If you wish to search for a door on the right side of the tower, turn to 23.

If you have the Magical Power of Psychomancy and wish to use it, turn to 70.

If you have the Magical Power of Prophecy and wish to use it, turn to 347.
