### 55

As you make your way along the torchlit tunnel, you pass several ore wagons bearing the same design branded upon their wooden sides: a cross moline above the initials 'O.V.'. You recognize the seal of Oren Vanalund, the Baron of Ruanon, and it confirms the fact that you are heading in the right direction. Suddenly, the sound of approaching footsteps begin to echo along the tunnel ahead. They become louder, accompanied now by shouting and the crack of a whip.

If you wish to dive into one of the empty ore wagons, turn to 161.

If you wish to hide in the shadows of the rough tunnel wall, turn to 286.
