You are hungry and must eat a Meal before you sleep or lose 3 ENDURANCE points. You have been asleep for only two hours when you are awoken by the sound of a tolling bell.

'Bandits!' screams the tavern-keeper. 'They've got into the stables!'

You must act quickly or the bandits will steal your horses. The tavern-keeper tells you that there are two ways to the stables from here: you can either leave through the front door and run around to the side of the tavern, or climb the stairs to the first-floor window and jump down on to the stable roof.

If you wish to use the front door, turn to 114.

If you wish to jump from the first-floor window, turn to 196.
