The bolt hits the lock and, to your horror, it rebounds and hits you full in the chest.

Pick a number from the Random Number Table. The number you have picked is equivalent to the number of ENDURANCE points lost as a result of this backfire (0 = 10). If you have survived this setback, make the necessary adjustment to your Action Chart.

Reluctantly, you abandon any thought of opening this door and retrace your steps to the junction. Prarg leads you along the opposite passageway until you come to a corner.

If you have a Bow and wish to use it, turn to 241.

If you do not, or if you choose not to use it, turn to 113.
