The tavern is crowded with people who are seated at a long, stone counter decorated with fragments of coloured marble. Large earthenware jars, full of spicy foods, are set into the counter, and serving girls are busy attending to the hungry customers.

If you are wearing a Black Sash, turn to 172.

If you do not possess a Black Sash, turn to 72.
