### 181

The Gold Crowns clatter along the corridor, but do not have the desired effect. The Ice Barbarian remains at his post, seemingly unaware of the gold now lying just a few feet away.

If you wish to attempt this ploy again, return to 152.

If you have no more Gold Crowns or do not wish to attempt this ploy again, you can attack the guard by turning to 208.

If you prefer, you can go back along the corridor, past the junction, and explore the west corridor by turning to 189.
