You recite the words of the Brotherhood Spell Levitation and feel yourself rise up into the tangle of ceiling joists above. Hurriedly you wedge yourself between a support beam and the rough rock-face. Then, seconds later, you glimpse the back of the gigantic beetle-creature as it thunders through the tunnel just a few feet below where you are hiding. A cloud of dust and a long line of ore wagons follow in its wake. Some of these heavy wagons are empty but the majority are piled high with grey metallic rock, heavily veined with a mineral that radiates an eerie yellow luminescence.

If you wish to leap onto the last ore wagon as it passes by below you, turn to 181.

If you do not wish to leap onto the wagon, turn to 204.
