Kane reached for the Lexicon, but it wouldn't come loose from the recepticle. They all tried, pulling, pushing, cursing...and while they were doing that I crept in to hide behind a pillar. I had seen, beyond them on the other side of the room, an elevator with a lever in center, just like the one we went down in Hammerfell. I was hoping to get on to that and escape. Up--down, I didn't care. I figured it went up, though.

I had worked my way almost over there when one of them finally found a button to push and there was a horrible grinding, clankng noise. The floor dropped away around the receptacle and became steps leading down. Everyone jumped back. Two of them backed up onto the elevator. From that angle they could see me hiding behind the last pillar.

They shouted of course. I was caught. Kane strode forward to grab me. Fear gave me sudden strength. I leaped up and ran right down those stairs. At the bottom was a set of doors. I hit them with my shoulder and burst through, right into pitch blackness. I was in Blackreach.
