Your men secure the boat to a rusty iron ring before following you up the stone steps towards the archway. As you reach a narrow ledge at the top of the granite staircase, you hear strange sounds drifting from the darkness ahead, like the hissing of a jet of steam. It lasts for a few seconds before the crack of a whip and the voice of a man cursing bring it to an abrupt halt.

If you wish to enter the tunnel, turn to 151.

If you decide not to enter the tunnel, you can return to the rowing boat and continue along the underground river by turning to 240.
