### 287

The drunkard gives a lop-sided grin and wipes his greasy mouth with the back of his hand before replying to your question.

'F' sure I know where be the Crooked Sage. Fine ale to be had there, if only I was moneyed enough to afford it. I'll tell you where it is for a small payment . . . say, ten Gold Crowns?'

If you wish to pay the drunkard for this information, erase 10 Gold Crowns from your Action Chart and turn to 62.

If you refuse to pay such a high price, turn to 185.
