The frenzied squeal of the rats fills your ears as you force your aching legs to propel you across the beach. Beyond an outcrop of pitted stone, a stream cascades down the sheer rock wall, cutting a deep gully across the beach as it flows into the lake. Spanning this gully is a natural bridge of stone. Its centre is very thin and narrow, and as you near the bridge, you fear it is too thin to support your weight.

If you have the Magnakai Discipline of Divination, turn to 89.

If you wish to cross the narrow stone bridge, turn to 243.

If you decide to try to swim across the gully, turn to 108.
