You notice an open archway at the base of the squat tower. When you focus on this opening, you detect a flight of steps leading down. It occurs to you that with a little luck, helped along by your Kai hunting and camouflage skills, it may be possible for you to slip past the Lavas and escape down these stairs unseen.

If you decide to try to reach the tower stairs, turn to 308.

If you decide that it is too risky, you can stay where you are by turning to 278.
