A yell arises from the battlements when the defenders see Adamas appear, and a mass of boulders hurtles down to greet him. With cat-like agility he veers left and right, weaving his way through the falling rocks, which smash into the causeway with a terrific roar. He reaches the door, tears the satchel from his shoulder, and primes the crystal explosive. Automatically you begin counting the seconds as he runs back through the rubble and dead bodies. Two … three … four … Then your heart leaps as you see him felled by a rock and crash headlong to the ground.

If you wish to sprint forward and attempt to rescue him, turn to 138.

If you choose to stay where you are and watch his plight, turn to 207.
