### 56

You push your way through the jostling crowd and stumble out into the street. As you turn towards the stables to go and retrieve your horse, your eagle-eyes catch a glimpse of movement on a second storey balcony. It is the archer you saw a few minutes ago, the man in black who fled from the gallery.

With bated breath you watch as he climbs on to the balcony rail and leaps across the narrow street on to the roof of the building opposite.

If you possess a Bow and wish to use it, turn to 120.

If you do not, turn to 274.
