### 112

Swiftly you rise up out of the snow and run to the tower where you meet up with Prarg at the foot of the wooden steps.

'That guard'll not be raising any alarms,' he says, cocking his thumb behind him towards the tower door. 'And they'll not find him too soon, neither.'

You smile knowingly. Then Prarg points to an alleyway that lies sandwiched between two burnt-out hovels at the edge of the town, and suggests you go that way.

'Lead on Captain,' you say, and follow as he runs towards the alley's shadowy entrance.

Turn to 178.
