At the top of the stairs you find a dining chamber in disarray. Piles of rubbish are strewn across its tiled floor, gnawed bones cover its tables, and the remains of a small fire are still smouldering at its centre.

An arched portal in the far wall offers hope of escape into a corridor beyond and you hurry towards it. As you are running across the room, you notice a pile of discarded weapons lying beside a bench. Among the weapons are:

• Dagger
• Sword
• Broadsword
• Bow
• 4 Arrows
• Quiver

If you wish to take any of the above, adjust your Action Chart accordingly.
