| 188 The Hresh Hunter is a formidable opponent but is no match against your mercenary skills. It falls heavily to the floor, stricken with a lethal wound to its neck. Quickly you search the body for any useful items and find that its leather armour is not a bad fit. Mindful of your own lack of protection you strip it from the creature and put it on. (Note this on your status sheet and increase your combat value by 1 point to account for your improved protection). You also find a dagger and a length of rope. If you wish to keep these items record them on your status sheet. After finishing this distasteful task you turn again to consider the curious words etched above the second door. As your sword drips with the putrid yellow stain of Hresh blood, you recall the old stories of how the Stone Kings collected taxes on goods that crossed their Kingdom's borders. This "Custom's House" must have been a collection point for these taxes. You sense the possibility of gold nearby.
| Do you wish to try the door? If so, go to section 132. If you choose not to do so, go to section 14.
