It takes you nearly a minute to open this simple lock. When you hear it click, you are so relieved that it has finally surrendered to your lock-picking skills that you immediately pull open the door. Suddenly your Sixth Sense detects the presence of a big dog, and when you peer into the gloom, you catch a glint of its fangs as it comes bounding towards you.

If you wish to quickly close the door, turn to 283.

If instead you choose to leave the door open and unsheathe a Weapon, turn to 312.
