The Cauldron of Fear

259

Sogh looks at you sheepishly as you search the dead guards. ‘I’m no fighter,’ he says, apologizing for his cowardly behaviour. ‘I’ve no stomach for it.’ He grimaces at the sight of the bloodstained bodies but manages to overcome his squeamishness when he spies a gold ring and a full purse on one of them.

Your search reveals four useful items:

  • 2 Swords
  • 1 Dagger
  • 1 Iron Key

You let Sogh keep the ring and the purse, and hand him one of the swords, which he is reluctant to accept. The other three items you keep (mark them on your Action Chart).

After hiding the bodies, you follow Sogh as he leads you through the chambers and corridors of the South Gatehouse tower. Twice you are almost discovered, but your Kai skills, and Sogh’s thief-like agility, save you both from further confrontation until you reach the ground floor of the tower.

Turn to 248.
