126

A sudden noise startles you and you spin around to face it. A section of the wall is moving inwards, carrying with it the robes that are hanging there. A figure, dressed in a hooded purple cloak and clasping a large leather-bound book, appears in the opening. As he steps into the room the section of wall closes behind him.

‘What are you doing here, brother?’ he asks, his voice heavy with suspicion. You sense that he is a druid of high rank and you know your answer must be convincing if you are to avoid his wrath.

If you wish to answer by saying that you have come here to help him, turn to 170.

If you wish to say that you are looking for a lost possession, turn to 156.

If you decide that actions speak louder than words, you can attack him by turning to 212.
