### 138

The guards pull open the door, and you spring into action. Your clenched fist strikes the first man beneath his bearded jaw, lifting him from the floor with the power of the blow. His sword drops from his hand and clatters to the ground close to your feet.

If you wish to pick up the sword, turn to 4.

If you wish to ignore the sword and attack the second guard with your bare hands, turn to 91.
