### 202

The room is small, shabby and bare except for the battered straw mattress and threadbare carpet covering the floor. You lock the door and settle down to sleep, using your Backpack as a pillow and your cloak as a blanket. In the middle of the night you are woken by a bright light. A shooting star of sun-like brilliance arcs over the city, shedding a rainbow of colour across your drab surroundings. You watch the star as it slowly disappears before settling down once more to your much needed rest. It seems as if you have only just closed your eyes when the loud and loathsome clang of the tavern bell fills your ears.

'All awake, all awake! A new day dawns my fine brave lads!' As the voice of the tavern-keeper echoes through the inn, you dress, gather your equipment and then collect your horse from the stable.

Your rest restores 1 ENDURANCE point. Make the necessary change to your Action Chart before setting off on your search for Brass Street.

Turn to 300.
