Banedon reaches to a small wooden box which lies half-buried on a shelf choked with scrolls and charts. He blows away a film of dust, and then hands you the box and asks you to open it. Inside you discover a small platinum disc strung upon a loop of braided cord.

‘Take the amulet, Lone Wolf—it is a protection from evil. You may need to draw upon its power when you reach Ixia.’

You do as your friend requests. Then you close the lid and hand him the empty wooden box.

(Record this Platinum Amulet, which you wear around your neck, as a Special Item on your Action Chart. You need not discard another item in its favour if you already possess the maximum number permissible.)

Turn to 57.
