The driver nods and hands back the ticket. The inn is warm but poorly furnished. You must eat a Meal here which will cost you 1 Gold Crown unless you have a Meal in your Backpack.

The Kai Discipline of Hunting cannot be used on your journey through the Wildlands, as it is a barren wasteland inhabited only by creatures called Szalls, a weak and cowardly breed of Giak.32

If you can afford the 1 Gold Crown for the room, turn to 280.

If you have no money, turn to 205.

[32] The restriction on Hunting in the Wildlands applies only to the ability to fulfil instructions to eat a Meal automatically. You may still use Hunting when prompted to do so. However, until given further notice, you must obey instructions to eat Meals as if you did not have Hunting. This includes the instruction in this same section; you must lose 3 ENDURANCE points right now if you neither pay for the Meal nor consume one from your Backpack.
