 Desperately you leap forward, a huge slab of crystal falling out of the roof overhead. Within a miasma of roiling dust you hit ground, rolling to your feet as tonnes of stone smashes into the ground at your back. Thanking Providence once again you keep on running and eventually find yourself emerging out of the haze of suffocating dust. Somehow you have survived, but your deliverance has come at no small cost.
To escape the collapsing stone you have had to return down the passageway, clouds of choking dust forcing you back towards the cavern and the imponderable malice of the Druhl. With a thin film of grime covering your body you emerge from the passage and come to a halt. In the distance you can see the Dragon and it can see you. It is not a happy Guardian.
Before you the barrier of shimmering energy holds firm, however the constant attack of the beast is weakening its capacity to keep the Druhl in check. When it lays its dull red eyes upon you once again its fury intensifies, and you cannot doubt that it will keep up its assault until it finds a way through the Shieldstone's defences.
Quickly you turn back to the passages and decide that the left passage can be your only way forward. Somehow you must put distance between yourself and the Druhl.
