Success
Onward
It is a long, long way down – a deep gorge carved through the corridors and galleries of the library, uncovering geological strata of texts. But with a length of sturdy rope, there's nothing to stop you from abseiling down onto a lower level.

Failure
Ungainly
Your hand slips at the last moment, and you crash to the hardwood of a much lower landing with an unpleasant thud. Mere bruises – and a great deal of noise.
