To your dismay, the rope snaps. A distant splash tells you that the receptacle that was attached to the rope has now fallen to the bottom of the well. The rope must have been rotten with age. You will have to find some other method of drawing water. Leading down into the inky depths you see a series of metal rungs cemented into the walls of the well.

If you have the Magical Power of Elementalism and wish to use it, turn to 124.

If you are versed in the Higher Magick of Physiurgy, turn to 185.

If you prefer to climb down into the well, or if you do not possess either of these Magical Powers, turn to 229.
