### 147

The street ends at a stagnant fountain where a rowdy crowd has gathered to watch a bare-knuckled contest between two tough streetfighters. You stop to ask one of the spectators the way to the Crooked Sage Inn and, somewhat to your surprise, he seems pleased to offer his help. He gives you clear directions to Tavern Lane, the street where the inn is situated, and less than ten minutes later you find yourself at a signpost which marks the start of this narrow thoroughfare.

Turn to 332.
