The acrid smell of burnt flesh mingled with human waste assaults your senses. The moaning and wailing from tortured souls in this cell block tells you this part of the dungeon is reserved for the Inquisition's most despised heretics. You know Father Pyren is being held in the far right cell of the row furthest away from the entrance. This is the end of the line. No more doors to reach, now you just need to get to him.

IN THIS PART OF THE DUNGEON YOU ARE TRYING TO REACH PYREN'S CELL NOT THE OPPOSITE EXIT

Amongst the din of agony, it is hard to discern any pattern to the patrolling guards' movement. You hear footsteps on two sets of stairs quickly followed by more footsteps on two sets of stairs, the sounds seem to come from both ends of the room. A bell rings twice, with only a brief interval between. Next you hear the clanking thud of two doors. There are two guards patrolling this area.

One of the guards travels his route a bit slower than the other, stopping to your left. He mumbles a few words. "May you keep me on the path," then moves on.

It will be difficult to avoid the guards. You see only two possible paths. A set of stairs on your left leading upward, and a path ahead leading to a wall some way off. Unfortunately, from your vantage point you cannot tell what is to your right.

One wrong move here and Pyren is dead. You must choose carefully.
