    Strange Bedfellows, continued
    Walk to the next chamber, then move into the corridor on the left. Keep moving around this corridor, hiding in the shadows, until you reach the end and you see a ramp going down. A number of small rooms border the corridor on the left; you can hide them, and on the right are bigger rooms you'd probably rather not go in to. Once you're down the ramp you'll need to be extra stealthy and slip past a number of apemen standing in front of fires in a series of joining rooms. (You'll need to do this four or five times before coming upon the unconscious priest.) The way on the immediate right is blocked by an apeman looking straight at you, so go completely forward to the entrance in front of you. In this room circle around the wall on the left, keeping to the shadows, and repeat the procedure in the next room, except exit to the right. Now move through this room in the shadows quickly (you'll know it by the insects that infest the area) and go straight ahead to the next room. Turn left and you'll enter another chamber with two apemen and a fire. Circle around the wall to the other side on the right.

    Now you're in the room with the priest. Circle around the room on the left until you are right behind the body of the high priest. One of the apemen turns from the fire roughly every half minute, so grab the body when no one is looking. Go back the way you came (the body won't hamper your stealth characteristics, only speed) and when you reach the first chamber (the one at the bottom of the ramp from the locked door), head down the unused corridor on the other side. The apemen may only see you momentarily. Head up the corridor and you'll wind up on a form of dock. Drop the body on the wooden raft, get on the raft, and then use the lever on the dock. Pick up the priest again once you reach shore at the end of a waterfall, carry him to the Hammerite's window, and drop him.
