### 53

On reaching the far side of the square, you see a narrow street flanked on either side by slums and hovels. You reason it unlikely that you would find Lord Zinair living in such a poor district, and so you stop for a few moments to consider where best to look for him. You decide that you should find someone who knows the city well, someone who is sure to have heard of the Dessian ambassador. Looking around the square you can see only two likely sources of this information: a Soothsayer’s Shop, and a City Guard patrol.

If you wish to enquire at the Soothsayer’s Shop, turn to 71.

If you wish to ask the City Guards, turn to 172.
