Drawing on your knowledge of Old Kingdom magic, you form your lips into an O-shape in readiness to utter a power-word. The instant the spell-thoughts coalesce in your mind, you project the word at the door’s triple combination lockplate.

The concentrated force of the word at such short range twists and buckles the plate, but it does not release the lock: the door is still firmly shut. In order to open it you must prise away the twisted lockplate and manually disengage the locking mechanism.

Bulkhead Door: COMBAT SKILL 30 ENDURANCE 40

Conduct a combat in the usual manner. Any ENDURANCE points lost by yourself result from fatigue at having to pull apart the damaged lock with your bare hands.

When you have reduced the door’s ENDURANCE total to zero or below, turn to 327.
