### 207

With bated breath, you manoeuvre the noose around the head of the warhammer. It takes over five minutes to secure the rope and retrieve the weapon.

Close examination of your find reveals it to be a very fine weapon, wrought of a metal called bronin, which looks identical to newly cast bronze but, unlike regular alloys of copper and tin, will not tarnish with use or age.

If you wish to keep this Bronin Warhammer, mark it on your Action Chart as a Weapon. When you use it in combat it will add 1 point to your COMBAT SKILL total. Satisfied that nothing else of value has been overlooked, you leave the chapel and return to Cyrilus.

Turn to 338.
