You step over the dead war-dog and enter the adjoining chamber. This foul-smelling room is littered with Giak bones and half-chewed haunches of greenish meat. Amongst the debris you notice something gleaming dully. It is a bronze statuette, forged in the likeness of Darklord Zagarna.

If you wish to keep this Statuette of Zagarna, record it on your Action Chart as a Special Item which you keep in your Backpack. If you already carry the maximum number of items allowed, you will have to discard one in its favour.

To your right you notice another curtained archway. Through the threadbare cloth you can see a stone staircase spiralling down into the dark.

If you wish to explore this staircase, turn to 56.

If you choose to retrace your steps and leave the barracks, turn to 44.
