You press on diligently, counting the steps that take you along the sewer until you reach a narrow vault a little over one hundred and fifty yards from the previous junction. An iron ladder, its rungs pitted with rust, rises out of the water to an arched stone door. Beneath the door, the sewer continues into the darkness.

If you wish to climb the ladder and investigate the arched door, turn to 259.

If you wish to continue along the passage, turn to 339.
