You draw upon your mastery of psychic defences to create a Mindblend to shield yourself from the creature’s probe. It fails to detect your living presence here and, with a petulant hiss, it signals to its minions to continue. When you can no longer hear the rasping sound of their clawed feet scraping the tunnel floor, you uncoil yourself and get to your feet.

If you wish to search the bodies that are lying in this tunnel, turn to 144.

If you choose to explore the tunnel further, turn to 160.
