You begin your search by lifting the lid of the wooden chest that rests beside the door. Your Sixth Sense tells you that it is unlocked and unguarded by traps, and inside you discover why: it is filled with dirty, threadbare clothing. A cursory search of these grimy garments reveals a Copper Key (if you wish to keep this key, record it on your Action Chart as a Backpack Item).

Next, you examine the altar and the dark alcove that lies behind its shattered stone surface. Engraved into the curved wall of the alcove you discover several runes of unknown origin. You are tracing your finger around one of these ancient marks when suddenly you detect a secret panel.

If you possess Telegnosis, turn to 169.

If you do not, turn to 96.
