It is an armoury log. The pages contain handwritten lists of all the work carried out here. Spears and swords made for the garrison of Kara Kala, ore shipments from the Vakar Mountains, weapons due for repair and all manner of daily routines are carefully recorded.

You are about to discard the log when you notice a folded piece of parchment tucked into the spine. It is a list of dates and numbers with a heading in bold print: ‘The Bronze Door’. You scan the page and locate today’s date. The number listed next to it is ‘67’. Make a note of this number in the margin of your Action Chart—it could be of use at a later stage of your adventure.

You throw the book back onto the cluttered bench and begin to search for your missing equipment.
