### 247

You empty the dead Drakkar's pockets and pouches, and discover the following items:

- Dagger
- Sword
- Bottle (empty)
- Bow
- 2 Arrows
- Ball of String
- 40 Kika (equivalent to 4 Gold Crowns)

You are about to abandon the body when suddenly you notice something gleaming in the top of its left boot. It is a rod of silver, plain and unmarked, and little more than four inches in length. If you wish to keep this Silver Rod, mark it on your Action Chart as a Special Item which you carry in your pocket.

Satisfied that you have overlooked nothing of worth, you turn your attention to clearing the rockfall which is blocking your escape from this landing.

To continue, turn to 347.
