You recite the words of the Brotherhood Spell Net and extend your right hand towards the attacking creature. A flood of sticky fibres shoots from your palm and engulfs the beast, smothering its head and forefeet in a gluey net which brings it crashing to the stone floor at the foot of the ramp.

As it struggles to break free from these sticky strands, you turn your attention to the portal and examine its surface in an attempt to find a way to open it. Using your advanced Kai skills you are able to decipher enough of the runic text to discover the secret code which keeps it secure. Confidently you press a section of the surface and, just as you believe it will, it moves inwards with an audible clunk! Moments later the portal creaks open and you hurry through, slamming it shut behind you to prevent the beast from following in your wake.

Turn to 210.
