29

The Torch burns fiercely for just a few seconds before it sputters and dies. You try to relight it but it is hopeless—it simply will not burn. If you possess other Torches in your Backpack, you will also discover that for some mysterious reason, they will no longer light. (You need not erase any Torches from your Action Chart in this instance.)

If you possess a Firesphere, turn to 168.

If you wish to continue in the dark, turn to 246.

If you wish to leave the vault and attempt an entry via the guarded crypt door, turn to 183.
