Suddenly you remember the Medallion given to you by the 'Redeemer' in the Inn of the Laughing Moon. You take it out and stare intently at the rune inscribed upon it. Surely there is some clue here. You take out the pink potion that the 'Redeemer' gave you and pull out the stopper of the vial. Sniffing the contents, you recognize the scent of Calacena: a mushroom whose spores induce visions much prized by magicians and illusionists. With some trepidation, you swallow the potion and discard the contaminated vial. (Delete this Backpack Item from your Action Chart.) You stare once again at the Medallion as the potion begins to take effect.

A close examination of the rune inscribed upon the Medallion will tell you which section number to turn to next.17

If you cannot solve the riddle of the rune and wish to take Shan's advice, turn to 190.

If you cannot solve the riddle of the rune and wish to seek the counsel of Jnana the Wise, turn to 134.

[17] The section corresponding to the correct answer will have a footnote confirming that it is indeed correct.
