Magdi scrambles up the stairs, using hands as much as her feet to avoid falling. Her smaller size combined with her superb balancing makes falling off the stairs mostly a non-issue and climbing up a lot harder. After a while, she too rounds the three turns and comes to the landing. The big door, sized for humans and such, opens on to the Myrain Medicine section, or what remains of it in any case. Most of the outside wall has been shattered, and the ceiling is gone from most of where you can see. The remaining bits of ceiling and columns to your left seem unstable. At best. This is really not good, considering you can see the last bits of the fifth and six floors waiting to fall.

To the right is a wooden door, three feet square. It opens onto a tunnel maybe six inches deeper than the door is tall. The stone is etched with hundreds, if not thousands, of runes. Down the tunnel, you can see Samuel's ring, glowing like purple flame.
