 The Hresh Hunter is a formidable opponent but proves no match for your skill with a sword. In the confined area of the chamber you are able to find a gap in its defences, and after a brutal fight bring it down with one final deadly thrust to its chest.
After recovering your breath you search the body for any useful items and find that its leather armour is not a bad fit. If you do not possess armour of your own then this may be used. This armour however, is not made for the use of men. If you decide to wear this armour it will afford a +1 armour bonus to your combat value, but will have a -2 reduction to your agility attribute during any agility tests. (Note this reduction in agility on your status sheet and increase your combat value by 1 point to account for your improved protection. This item must also be recorded as a part of your carry load. If you already have 8 items recorded you will have to drop one of them to take this armour.) You also find a dagger and a length of rope. If you wish to keep any of these items record them on your status sheet.
After finishing this distasteful task you turn again to consider the curious words etched above the second door. As your sword drips upon the cold stone floor, you bring back to memory the old stories of how the Stone Kings collected taxes on goods that crossed their Kingdom's borders. This "Custom's House" must have been a collection point for these taxes. You sense the possibility of rials (silver coin) nearby.

Do you wish to try and force this door as well? If so, go to section 132. If you choose not to do so, go to section 14.
