You are about to enter the square at the end of Brooker Court when you suddenly realize that you have been robbed. The drunken soldier was not drunk at all: he was a skilful pickpocket.

Erase the second Special Item on the list on your Action Chart. If you only have one Special Item, you must delete this. If you have no Special Items at all, delete the first Backpack Item noted on your Action Chart.

If you wish to run back to the tavern alley and chase after the pickpocket, turn to 94.

If you choose to let him go and continue on your way, turn to 334.
