Section 164 Stone and Fire Flames gush in great spewing streams before you as you reach into your pack and take the Shield Stone from its protective wrapping. Tentatively you hold the talisman towards the burning vapours and intone the name given to it by its makers. Options: Test your intuition attribute. If you are successful turn to section 180. If you fail this test you have the choice of retreating and finding another path, or trying to cross anyway. If you still wish to go forward you must turn back to section 118 and follow the directions on how you must attempt your crossing. If you see no benefit to such a dangerous course turn about and find another way.
