### 75

You enter a musty office where two men sit hunched over desks bowed beneath the weight of books and papers.

‘Good evening, sir,’ says one of the men, his long waxed moustache twitching as he speaks. ‘Sir requires a merchant’s pass?’

Before you can reply, the man passes to you a fistful of complicated forms. ‘If sir would care to sign these, I can issue sir’s pass immediately. The fee is 10 Gold Crowns.’

If you wish to sign the forms and purchase a White Pass, mark it on your Action Chart and turn to 142.

If you do not have enough money or do not wish to purchase the pass, leave this office and return to the hall by turning to 318.
