251

You dismount and make a stealthy approach to the graveyard on foot. Peering through the gap in its encircling wall, you can see an open crypt door and hear the sound of distant voices. Behind the crypt you count six saddled horses. They are grazing the pale tufts of grass that fringe the gravestones. As the voices come drifting towards you on the warm breeze, you are able to determine that they belong to a gang of tomb robbers who have come here to loot this ancient burial site.

If you wish to approach the open crypt door, turn to 274.

If you choose to wait by the wall and observe the crypt, turn to 183.
