### 5

You can see two men in ragged clothes, huddled together beside a fire that seems to be burning inside a small metal bowl. Over the flames, the skinned carcass of a small animal is roasting on a spit. The men are old and toothless, and they have a strange glint of madness in their slanted eyes.

If you wish to approach them and ask for some of their food, turn to 295.

If you wish to attack them, turn to 14.

If you wish to ignore them and continue on your way, turn to 132.
