The reptilians hear you and fix you with frightened stares. They wrap their webbed hands around the leathery egg protectively and slink quickly down the stairs. You run to the top of the staircase and peer down into the gloom, but you can see nothing in the darkness.

If you have a Fireseed and wish to throw it down the stairs, turn to 106.

If you choose to unsheathe a hand weapon and descend the stairs into darkness, turn to 224.
