In lieu of a Gold Crown, the stable girl agrees to accept one of your Backpack Items (you may erase any item of your choosing from your current list of Backpack Items. If you do not possess any Backpack Items, you must erase one Weapon instead.)

With little desire to stay at this extortionate inn a moment longer, you mount your horse and—with a flick of your heel—leave the stables and follow your companions as they turn south onto the mountain road.

Turn to 156.
