### 201

You ask a barman standing behind the counter for a plate of food and a tankard of his finest ale. Cheerfully he fulfils your order and you pay him 2 Nobles. While you are enjoying his delicious fare you ask him if he knows the whereabouts of Lord Zinair of Dessi.

‘Lord Zinair of Dessi? Mmm … he’s the ambassador of Dessi, unless I’m mistaken. I think he lives in the North Quarter. You’d be best to ask at the Soothsayer’s Shop in the market square. They’d know … they know pretty much everything. They even know things that haven’t happened yet!’

You thank the barman for his advice. When you have finished your meal, you leave the tavern and continue along the avenue. At length you arrive at a busy market square. On the far side of this square you see the Soothsayer’s Shop. Heeding the barman’s advice, you decide to enter and ask for their assistance.

Turn to 71.
