### 335

You emerge through the steel roof of the tower and catch a fleeting glimpse of the rain-swept city far below. Suddenly there is a tremendous flash, closely followed by the concussive blast of a terrific explosion. This shock wave hits you from behind, leaving you feeling as if you have just been kicked in the back by an angry mule.

Fortunately your winged mount is able to ride this shock wave which helps propel it upwards at great speed into the base of the thick black storm clouds.

Turn to 310.
