The vast wall of moving light is something unknown to you and there seems no good reason to risk forcing a way through it. For a moment you consider if you should try and find a way around it but there is no clear way of doing so. The stream flows from one end of the chamber to the other and it is immensely high. It is a barrier that you will have to retreat from. Perhaps a more straightforward path can be found within the halls and passages of Stoneholme above.
Quickly you turn and come to an abrupt halt. The entry behind you has changed and in the light of the rippling stream you shake your head in disbelief. Before you stands the high arch, but whereas before a long corridor reached out into the mountain there is nothing more than a perfectly smooth and blank wall of stone. In desperation you place your hand upon its surface and press hard, but it is as solid as the mountain itself and effectively blocks any way out.
For a moment you consider the possibility that you have inadvertently moved further along the hall and that your exit opens somewhere else along the wall, but there is no sign of any other opening and in the end you have to accept that your way back is blocked. The only way forward will be either through, or perhaps around this huge stream of energy.

If you would like to inspect the chamber further before committing yourself to any attempt at finding a way through the stream turn to section 577. If you see little option but to walk into it turn to section 536.
