### 97

This corridor is lined with arched stone pilasters, several feet thick, behind which you can hide. Twenty yards ahead, you see an Ice Barbarian warrior standing guard at the bottom of a flight of wide stone steps. Moving quickly to one side, you realize that if you are to get past this guard successfully, you will either have to distract his attention or silence him for good.

If you possess a Diamond, turn to 24.

If you wish to distract him with some Gold Crowns, turn to 152.

If you decide to attack him, turn to 208.
