You return along the tunnel to the basket at the base of the shaft. Wary of the Antah wasps that you encountered during your descent, you draw your Kai Weapon and keep it close to hand as you winch yourself up the shaft to the corridor above. The wasps are nowhere to be seen, and you are able to make your way back to the throne chamber’s sealed door with little difficulty. However, upon arriving here, you are confronted with the problem of how to gain entry to this magically-secured portal.

If you possess Kai-alchemy and wish to use it, turn to 264.

If you possess Magi-magic and wish to use it, turn to 87.

If you possess neither of these skills, or if you choose not to use them, turn to 158.
