(32) You plunge the dagger into her chest without another word. Her eyes widen in shock, then her grip slowly relaxes and a faraway expression comes to her eyes. You grimly clean your blade on her vile robes, then exit the room. Could she have helped you? You will never know. Go to 286. |

(286) Following the hall around to the left, you soon arrive at a stairway that leads down to the ground floor. There are no doors here, so you descend. Go to 140. (140) You reach the bottom of the stairway and take a moment to get your bearings. You seem to have descended to a leisure area. An elegant pool table stands to your right, with the balls neatly racked on the surface and a couple of cues crossed together at the head. A shuffleboard table stands off to your left, while a table containing a marble chessboard completely set up and ready for play stands behind you. The hall continues ahead of you, adorned with a closed door on either side. It winds to the left beyond that. Choose your next course of action. Will you: Examine the pool table? (317) Walk over to the chessboard? (194) Examine the shuffleboard table? (390) Leave the game area, and open the door on the left (357) or the right (238)? Or simply ignore everything and follow the hall around to the left (90)? |
