The bodyguard looks at you with great suspicion and then slams the door shut. You can hear the sound of voices inside the caravan. Suddenly the door swings open and the face of a wealthy merchant appears.

He demands 10 Gold Crowns as payment for the ride.

If you have 10 Gold Crowns and wish to pay him, turn to 262.

If you do not have enough Gold Crowns or do not wish to pay him, turn to 247.
