You magnify your vision and look carefully at the three runes. They are made from oblong slivers of black stone and are no larger than your hand. Your senses tell you that within each of these runes is held immense power, yet each stone is remarkably fragile and vulnerable. If you were to smash the runes you would destroy the powers they contain.

If you possess a Bow and wish to use it, turn to 56.

If you possess Kai-alchemy and wish to use it, turn to 113.

If you possess neither a Bow nor Kai-alchemy, or if you choose to use neither, turn to 253.
