### 258

The faint green glow of the power-shield is the only source of light in the cave. Cautiously you advance, but you are soon swallowed up by the darkness, and progress becomes painfully slow.

If you have a Kalte Firesphere, a Lantern, or a Torch and Tinderbox, turn to 289.

If you do not have any of these items and wish to continue ahead in total darkness, turn to 277.

If you prefer to abandon the cave and return to the beach below, turn to 30.
