The eastern face of the Durncrag Mountains is a sheer wall of granite that rises over six thousand feet to a peak known as Mount Lajakodak. To attempt to scale this wall, especially at night and with little equipment, is a formidable and perilous task. For several hours, you search the scree-covered slopes in the hope of finding an old or disused trail, but with no success. You are on the brink of abandoning all hope of finding another route, and are about to return to the Giak outpost, when you chance upon the remains of a track that snakes its way towards an opening high in the rock wall.

If you have the Magnakai Discipline of Huntmastery and have reached the Kai rank of Archmaster, turn to 34.

If you do not possess this skill or have yet to reach this level of Magnakai training, you can either climb the track and investigate the opening: turn to 143.

Or you can return to the Giak outpost and attempt to scale the wall: turn to 86.
