The scratches that cover the walls of the trench indicate that it was excavated entirely by hand. You scan the surrounding landscape, hoping to find some clue as to the identity of the person who dug the trench. Almost immediately you notice a group advancing towards you from the north. Slowly you increase the magnification until the figures become clear: two scrawny-looking men are leading a pack of five Alsatian hounds in your direction.

Pick a number from the Random Number Table (0 equals zero).

If the number you have picked is less than or equal to your current Perception skill level, turn to 232.

If it is greater than your current Perception skill level, turn to 309.
