It takes much longer than expected to open this simple lock. Unfortunately, the sound of you picking at the keyhole alerts the saddle-maker’s guard dog, and when you are able to release the lock and pull open the door, this vicious canine comes leaping through the doorway. It slams into your chest and knocks you backwards to the ground.
