Steel Hand pulls a rope from his backpack and volunteers to climb the rough-hewn chamber wall. The ceiling above is criss-crossed with buttresses and he is confident that he can affix his rope securely to one of them, thereby enabling your party to swing across the gaping fissure and reach the tunnel on the far side.

If you decide to approve Steel Hand’s suggestion, turn to 119.

If you prefer instead to fix the rope yourself, turn to 189.
