The eggs are warm, and you can feel tiny movements through the leathery shells. Carefully you roll them aside and sift through the debris of the nest; you discover several Items of interest:

- MACE (Weapons)
- PADDED LEATHER WAISTCOAT (Special Items) Adds 2 points to your ENDURANCE total when worn.
- SWORD (Weapons)
- HELMET (Special Items) Adds 2 points to your ENDURANCE total when worn
- BLANKET (Backpack Items)
- BOTTLE OF WINE (Backpack Items)
- DAGGER (Weapons)
- POTION OF LAUMSPUR (Backpack Items) Restores 4 ENDURANCE points when swallowed; enough for one dose.

If you take any of these Items, remember to adjust your Action Chart accordingly.7

The sound of a bolt and the creak of a dry hinge echoes from the chamber behind you, causing your pulse to race anew. Pick a number from the Random Number Table.

If the number you have picked is 0-4, turn to 63.

If it is 5-9, turn to 346.

[7] You may not carry the Helmet at the same time as the Silver Helmet, if you have it.
